Amanda Held is a Founder, CEO, Horse & Human Potential Practitioner, Healing Facilitator, Published Author, and Air Force First Sergeant. Through decades of studying horse and human behavior, Amanda has developed powerful insights and evidence-based solutions that help both horses and humans actualize their full potential. Amanda's passion is to deliver powerful workshops and retreats that create a clear path for participants to access deep levels of awareness and move into self-mastery. Amanda has earned a place in the 2022 Success Magazine's "125 People of Influence" by spending over a decade empowering veterans, equestrians, mental health practitioners, facilitators, executives, and businesses, from grassroots to Fortune 50, gain the clarity and confidence necessary to obtain their high-level goals with ease.
Amanda has also developed The Equine Wisdom Integration Method™ and Reflection-Based Horsemanship™, in which she teaches other equine-assisted facilitators and equestrians who are seeking a deeper understanding of and connection with both themselves and their equine partners.
