Welcome to my author and speaker page! I am Amanda Helman, Ph. D. with over 20 years in the field of education. Recently, I embarked in the field of counseling psychology to support people throughout their healing journey. My heart is to empower people, from the womb through adulthood, to become the best version of themselves individually, in families, in communities, and in every nation. Love is the power that heals our mind, body, spirit, and soul. This website features tools, resources, podcasts, articles, and books to support the healing process. Please email me if you are interested in having me speak at schools or at community events. I would love to connect with you!
