YOU ARE THE MEDICINE

Taanishi,

I’m Amanda Dawn

I am Métis, and in Michif, Taanishi means hello. However, it holds a deeper meaning, as it reflects a sincere inquiry into a person's well-being and overall state. This stems from the importance of belonging and community in my culture.

Welcome! I’m Amanda, a mindful movement and lifestyle coach, reimagining wellness in a way that honours our bodies, spirits, and the wisdom of the land. I guide people toward balance, vitality, and deeper connection — helping you nurture your body, calm your mind, and expand your spirit through yoga, energy realignment, and nutrition.

My approach invites us to unlearn the limitations imposed by outdated systems and societal expectations, and instead embrace practices rooted in connection, intuition, and respect for the natural world. I create experiences — from cacao ceremonies to tarot gatherings and land-based practices — designed to support your growth, restore harmony, and reconnect you to yourself and the world around you.

Step into a space of calm, clarity, and empowerment — where your wellness journey meets the healing wisdom of nature and the practices that truly nourish body, mind, and spirit.

  • "I have had many energy treatments done by Amanda and she is wonderful! She has a very powerful, intuitive energy that she channels into the specific areas of the body that need healing the most. By far the best energy practitioner i've ever been too and i've seen a few! She is a lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Amanda and have to my yoga students looking for healing treatments."

  • “ I had never had an energy treatment before and was suffering from severe back pain in which I could not walk without a lot of pain. After the session with Amanda, I was feeling fresh, confident, and had an 85% reduction in pain. I am not sure if this was an expected result, but I was thoroughly impressed. The smudge really set the tone for relaxation.”
