Amanda Edwards
Amanda Edwards combines Acupuncture with Holistic Counselling to create well being within the body, through balancing the complementary energies of Yin and Yang, and to bring a sense of peace and happiness within the mind.
As an Acupuncturist her treatment is not directed towards a list of symptoms or disease labels (although it does take these into account): it is a holistic treatment of each individual person, helping them to re-experience balance and thereby health.
Holistic counselling is based on the principles contained in the self-study system of spiritual psychology called ‘A Course in Miracles.’ The Course focuses on the peace that is possible through the practice of forgiveness (of oneself) and the transformational potential of the mind.It asserts that our truth is Love, and as a part of Creation we are infinite and eternal in our expression; when we experience this, self limiting beliefs begin to drop away.
Amanda brings many years’ experience as a healer and a mother, Acupuncturist, Counsellor, Doula, Birth Educator and Interfaith Minister. She has also developed 'Co-Birthing' - a system of birth preparation for couples who wish to deepen their spiritual awareness of birth. She is a founder member of the International Spiritual School for the Art of Birth.
