Amanda Owen’s research during the last twenty years into the nature of receptivity and its link to manifestation led her to develop a system that helps people manifest the lives they want by developing their capacity to receive. She reports her findings in her latest book The Power of Receiving: A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve (Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, 2011).

Amanda has been presenting lectures and workshops since the mid-eighties on a variety of topics in the spirituality, empowerment and self-improvement genres. She works with individuals and groups, traveling throughout the United States and Canada and reaches an international audience through her tele-courses.

With a B.A. in Psychology, a background in social work and a twenty-five-year practice as a counselor and coach, Amanda’s passion is to help people create the life they desire. She counsels those looking for greater benefits from their self-improvement and spiritual studies, empty-nesters seeking to rediscover and reinvent themselves, women who have over-extended their giving and want to bring greater balance to their lives, and caregivers who need assistance tending to their own needs.

Recently, Amanda created a series of presentations for the staff of nonprofits, nurses and others in the helping professions to provide practical tools that will bring relief for those who dedicate their lives to helping others.
