It doesn’t mean that you’re failing just because you’re taking a smaller step than somebody else. Just keep going.
About Amanda
- I was raised in Ipswich, England, and was able to travel around the world because my father and my ex-husband were both in the military.
- I knew early on that I wanted to work with children—I started working in early childhood spaces at 16 years old.
- As I learned about the different areas within the early childhood field, I wanted to gain experience in all of them—I worked in marketing, at a child crisis center, and for Child Protective Services.
- My husband and I moved to Indiana, where I discovered my passion for children’s therapy.
- I completed the education necessary to work in child therapy, including a certification from the Institute of Child Psychology.
- When we moved back to Arizona, I had trouble finding a clinic that was a great fit for me, so I decided to start my own company.
- In 2020, I started Mental Heart, a holistic children's therapeutic play practice that provides very specialized and personalized therapeutic services to children.
