It’s time to feel better.
You don’t have to go it alone anymore.
Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depleted?
Are you ready to show up as your true self?
You’ve come to the right place
I am passionate about helping people, like you, learn how and remember how to feel better. I was where you are once. I was stuck, anxious, constantly in a state of overwhelm. I was busy doing, and rarely being. I was insecure, and uncomfortable. I didn’t trust myself or others. I needed a lot of external validation. Being alone felt like a threat. Stillness was impossible, most days. Things are better now. My life is beyond what I could have ever imagined. It is my dream to help you heal and feel better. It is something we all deserve. Feeling good is our birth right. We all deserve to know how to feel better and help ourselves.
- Mandy Flanders, Holistic health and Life Coach
About Me
My journey into holistic health and life coaching has really been a life long journey. I’ve always been interested in how the human body and mind functions. I was coaching people before I became a coach.
I became a yoga teacher just before my first baby was born. Yoga changed my life, and provided me with the tools I needed in order to achieve and sustain a sober life. I use mindfulness and breath work in my every day life. I’ve spend the last 6 years teaching in the local Cancer Center to cancer patients.
I became a doula after my first baby was born. I was so moved by how profound birth is, and how critical having the right support is during such an intense experience. I have been a doula for a decade, supporting a variety of families in a variety of situations, and settings. I have used a doula for all three of my births.
I was catapulted into my own healing journey after finding sobriety, becoming and mother, and recovering from toxic mold poisoning.
I learned that healing is not a one-size-fits-all modality, and that there are as many different paths to wellness as there are people.
After falling very ill from toxic black mold, I brought my recovery as far as I could with diet, supplements, and healthy habits, and yet still found myself dealing with significant symptoms.
When I began addressing trauma, autonomic nervous system, and my own internal parts, I noticed that my immune system improved, my health improved, and my emotional and mental wellbeing improved. Things that used to upset me were no longer debilitating. I could handle more than I knew I could. I was able to navigate every day stressors without collapsing into despair.
I am a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, Certified Doula, Certified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, and Trauma Informed and Trained practitioner. I have over a decade of experience of supporting and coaching clients through a variety of challenging experiences.
I am now living a rich, full and beautiful life, as a mother to my three amazing babies, and wife to my husband (and best friend). I am nearly a decade sober. I am proud of my past, and I am excited about my future.
My Services
1:1 Coaching/Mentorship
I currently offer a 1:1 coaching container that is 6 months long. We meet weekly and navigate your personal landscape to bring in more awareness, presence, safety, regulation, joy and play!
Group Coaching
I offer a group coaching program a couple of times a year. This is a wonderful and more cost effective way to learn from me, and in a group setting.
Co-regulation is one of the most critical components of a group coaching program. We heal exponentially within a group of supportive and like minded individuals, especially with a common goal: to feel better.
E-Course
I offer an e-course online that is a 6 week program geared toward helping you regulate more fully, get in touch with your inner child, explore boundaries, and come to know yourself in a deeper way. There is also access to our private group forum!

I am here
for you.
You don’t have to go it alone anymore. I am here for you. I know that place you’re in. I spent many years there. There is hope and joy waiting on the other side for you. You can heal. You can feel better. You make perfect sense. You deserve to feel well. You deserve to feel at home in your body. Our journey together will show you how.
My Beliefs
We ALL deserve to know how to heal, and to feel well. Vibrancy is our birthright.
We all deserve to feel peace inside of ourselves.
After years of working with clients suffering from cancer, autoimmune issues, anxiety, overwhelm, insecurity, and intrusive thoughts, I have learned that unhealed trauma is very often at the root of these issues.
Yoga and meditation, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, holistic health and wellness, and conscious parenting.
I have been a certified yoga teacher for over 10 years. I have special training and understanding of the body, and the somatic perspective that is needed for healing. Traumatic memory and energy is stored in the body. Yoga, meditation and mindfulness practices can help us navigate the difficult sensations and experiences that we may have worked so hard to forget. This embodiment teaches us to feel safe and at home in our bodies, and with all the wide range of feelings we get to experience as humans.
I have studied attachment theory with Diane Poole Heller. We work to heal ruptures and separation in attachment with the self and with others. We are wounded by our “tribe” (our family of origin) and by people, so we heal by the “tribe,” (choosing a healing community that suits us and meets our needs). I am currently training under Steven Terrel in Transforming the Experience Based Brain, and Janina Fisher’s Stabilization of Trauma model.
I have taking specific trainings with Peter Levine, Bessel Van der Kolk, Pat Ogden, Janina Fisher, Deb Dana, and many other trauma specific practitioners.
I use these modalities to round out our healing journey together to assist you in becoming the version of yourself you are ready to embody and ready to remember.
