About
A teacher, a healer, a keeper of small quiet rooms.
Amanda Smith is a Reiki practitioner and yoga teacher based in the Cotswolds, offering unhurried time, real warmth, and rooms lit by candles.

My story
My path to this work began with movement, literal and otherwise. Having grown up grounded in the English countryside, I went on to live in Jersey, Panama, and Florida. Through all that motion, I started noticing how closely my body and emotions followed the rhythm of the moon. That noticing became a practice, and that practice became a calling.
My degree in philosophy shaped the way I saw the world before life led me toward energy work. I learned Reiki from Luz Duque, a curandero and wise woman. Losing my mother at a young age reshaped how I understand connection to the universe, to nature, and to the people I now work with.
Since then, I've trained in Yoga and Yoga Nidra, with specialisms in deep rest, grief work, menopause, and trauma-informed practice. I work with groups, individuals and with people living with dementia, and I bring this same care into corporate wellbeing settings.
