About me
I understand and appreciate that reaching out to a Life Coach can be intimidating and scary but due to many time wasters, I will now have to charge £20 for a 30 min discovery call. If you book a 2nd session, there will be a £20 reduction for the 2nd session. Thanks for understanding.
I am a highly intuitive Coach who is able to pick up on things beyond what's being said in the session but I will always work in a way that honours and respects you as an individual. For some, it may feel invasive but I will work to your comfort level. I will take a couple of days after the session and email you with a session summary and anything else I may have intuitively picked up on that we didn't discuss in the session, as well as tips and resources to move forward. This will be done after each session.
For the past 15 years, I have been managing my own Health and Wellbeing business, providing remedial Sports Massage to the TV, Theatre and Music industry. It’s led me to be in rooms I never thought I would be in. I provided massage for high profile tours such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, The Prodigy, Dolly Parton and have had the pleasure of touring with Riverdance for 10 years. All it takes is self belief and perseverance. Life can be a wondrous world of discovery if you allow it. You can literally create the life you want. Don’t just take my word for it.
I am now looking for others wanting to step out of the 9-5 existence. You may want to start a business, you may want to travel more, you may want to work and travel. If you have a desire for a change of life, please get in touch. We can sort through any limiting beliefs you may have that’s stopping you from getting the life you want. I would never suggest you leave a secure job without having a contingency plan in place first.
I also have a particular interest in Women’s health and being able to, not only manage your health, but to thrive in the midst of it. As an Endometriosis sufferer (warrior) I know it all too well. I am a firm believer in the mind/body connection and have followed Dr David Hamilton’s work as well Psychotherapist Benjamin Fry’s, both who I have met and attended seminars with.
I have travelled widely and have spent time living and working in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and China. I believe in carving out your own life and moulding it in a way that works for you. I feel I can’t advise or help people, if I have not also walked the walk so I am happy to share my experiences and personal insights if I feel it will be of use. A lot of us walk the line of safety, with a secure job that pays the bills, but what if we want more…I am happy to talk through your plans and thoughts and offer an external unbiased perspective.
I am also a member of the LGBT+ community. ALL are welcome
I believe living an authentic life can give you freedom but in contrast, also stability. This has led me to being mortgage free by the age of 35 and now at the age of 45, I have a deeper understanding of how our thoughts can create our reality. Are your thoughts one of positivity? Or are you stuck in a spiral of negative self talk? I truly believe if you work on your inner dialogue, it changes the external and your life starts fitting into place.
Some recent Google reviews:
"If ever you have thought about booking a coaching session like this, stop thinking about it and just do it. Even if you just try one session.
Mandy makes you feel at ease before you’ve set a foot through the door, with introductions and interest about what YOU are looking for. No pre dispositions or guesswork, a tailored and personalised, professional service.
I really look forward to meeting Mandy again. Thank you"
"I highly recommend Amanda Edwards as a Life Coaching Supervisor. Her guidance is truly exceptional, and the support she provides is insightful, personalised, and transformative.
What truly sets Amanda apart is her profound ability to listen and understand exactly who she is speaking to. She doesn't apply a generic framework; instead, she quickly grasps individual needs and tailors her supervision perfectly to the unique challenges and opportunities I face. This personalised approach makes every session immediately relevant and incredibly valuable.
Amanda is exceptionally good at helping me think outside the box. When I’ve felt stuck in routine patterns, she offers refreshingly insightful perspectives and provides excellent, creative suggestions that get right to the root of the matter. Her ability to identify non-obvious solutions has been instrumental in my professional growth and confidence as a coach
If you are looking for a supervisor who is genuinely helpful, deeply insightful, and offers the clarity needed to elevate your practice, Amanda Edwards is the one."

Further information
I don't follow the same format as other Coaches. You won't get some watered down formal version of me. I will fully be myself and hope that would also help you feel more comfortable to be yourself. For the nervous people who want all the answers straight away and want a strategic action plan, I do not work in this way. I am highly intuitive and allow the sessions to flow freely. I do not believe in the 'one size fits all' approach so I don't want sessions to be restrictive. A plan and ways forward will develop naturally.
With the initial free 30 min call/video chat, we can come up with some areas we could work on together and then hone in on each one. Remember, it's also what you do between each call, to put what we have talked about into action. I can talk at you all day long or listen all day long, but we are here to put one step in front of the other. There is no rush. Sometimes its 3 steps forward, 5 steps back, but the greatest gift you can ever give yourself, is to know yourself well. If you do, the sky is the limit. You have to create the grounding first. Once that is set, you are on your way.
