Amanda Hilton - Dancing Between Science & Intuition

Amanda makes personal development simple so we can prioritize inner + outer wellbeing in the day-to-day.

She has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a certification from the Spirituality Mind-Body Institute at Columbia University, as well as Bachelor’s Degrees in Education and Psychology.

She’s merged her interests in Personal Development and Community Care to form The Simply Well — exploring the intersections between Personal Development (growing in the ways that are meaningful to you) and Community Care (supporting the earth and your local and global neighbors) — to make life and the world just a little bit better.

She’s also a licensed teacher, a reiki practitioner, and Registered Yoga Teacher.
