Amanda’s main areas of interest are representing LBBC at events, sharing her lived experience through storytelling, and media advocacy.
Amanda is a breast cancer survivor, mental health therapist, retreat leader, wellness educator, and artist who founded ONE LIFE. LIVE IT., an organization that builds meaningful communities through international retreats and creative healing experiences. She is now in the process of creating a nonprofit to support women affected by cancer in attending nourishing retreats at no cost, and also leads the Play It Forward backpack program, delivering art, school, and athletic supplies to children worldwide. Amanda finds joy in yoga, meditation, prayer, savoring delicious food, creating murals, and belly laughing with her loved ones.
I hope my work with Living Beyond Breast Cancer gives me the skills to confidently share my story, while inviting others to see the value in creating time and space for their own healing journey.
