My Story

---

 Hello and Welcome

I am so glad that your journey has led you to cross my path.

Let me introduce myself:

My name is Amanda Sutter. I am a mother of 2 young men, and I live in rural Minnesota. I am the owner of this wonderful variety of services called Manda Bear Heart Healing.

Through the journey of my life; I have endured sexual abuse, emotional and verbal abuse, and a variety of traumatic experiences. I lost myself to society and my relationships along the way. I had no idea how much the abuse from my past was impacting my adult life and my decisions until it all fell apart after the death of my father. 

Having been a nurse for 15 years and a certified herbalist for 4 at the time of his terminal diagnosis, I was dismayed to find that the answer to his healing did not lie in any of the knowledge I had acquired working in these fields. After his passing I decided to go upstream and see if the cause of illness could be identified and preempted before a fatal diagnosis occurs.

Most of my research pointed to unhealed traumatic experiences stored within the body as the root cause of illness and ill health. 

So, I worked to find compassionate and useful tools to heal from my past unintegrated overwhelming experiences, uncover my authentic expression, as well as discover my calling. I have found my healing by testing out various alternative healing modalities on myself. This has lead me back to my true authentic self and a desire to help others with this same struggle along the way.

I have discovered my calling is to be a loving presence guiding others along their healing journey. I have spent a great deal of time cultivating my knowledge of healing trauma and joined a large community of peers who provide me with valuable learning and resources.

If you have been led here, I want to help you heal and find the answers to your questions. 

Through my experiences I have gained the confidence necessary to share my truth, knowledge, and resources in a way that I am certain will  help you on your own journey to healing and personal development. I offer you my services with genuine love and compassion.

 Once the traumas I experienced were cleared from my system, I found that my strong intuition and other spiritual gifts were able to shine through my being. These abilities had always been with me, but they were buried under layers of pain and disempowering beliefs picked up throughout my life.

You are able to choose whichever of my services best matches your beliefs and needs. I harbor no judgement, and do not impose any of views upon you. In 2019 The Completion Process created by Teal Swan, was the first modality of inner child healing I became certified in. The Compassion Key by Edward Mannix was the second modality I learned and became certified in. I have also went through training in Parts work and Internal Family systems therapy.  I am a level 2 Reiki practitioner as well. I used all of these helpful tools to further my own recovery, and have facilitated hundreds of sessions over the past 5 years with these tools. 

I do not consider myself to be your sage or guru, but rather a guide to join you on your path holding space for you to heal and rediscover yourself. I am a gentle a non judgmental presence who implements the tools I've learned to help you reclaim your own strength and inner peace. I believe everyone has these abilities within themselves; you may just need a compassionate experienced companion with you while finding your own way through healing.

I have come a long way since I began my journey, and have gained a lot of valuable information that I am willing to share with anyone who seeks my help, but I am not at the end as I continue to heal myself, grow, and evolve. Through my own self-discovery and healing, devotedly applying myself to learning and growth; I will be able to share an even deeper, wealth of knowledge, resources, and compassion. I offer a variety of services to help you along the way.

My sincere desire is for everyone to love themselves fully, work through any trauma that they have experienced, and help them find the clarity they need to continue to grow and live their true authentic expression. 

If this resonates with you, I would be honored to use my services to assist you and eagerly look forward to meeting you.
