Author, Teacher  & Speaker

As a scientist practitioner, I'm here to serve survivors both locally and globally. Based out of Pepin, WI, I'm available to teach or speak at your training or event. Although I've had the practical experience and advanced degrees to teach on relational trauma ministry, I'm also equipped with doctoral level teaching credentials.

I was the first to research the intersection of faith-based complementary therapies for adult survivors of complex and family trauma. As a veteran survivor myself, I specialize in grounding the advanced theories of attachment traumatology into the survivors lived experience using humor and addressing the practicality of their lived experience (ie: navigating family court, recovery concerns, or childhood trauma recovery). 

Hi, I'm dr. amanda

How can I help you?

I am a published, peer reviewed researcher, solopreneur of 10+ years, and veteran trauma survivor, here to support you. Select a pathway:

I've worked with hundreds of survivors & fellow practitioners to engineer cost efficient support.

I've been where you (or your clients) are -- navigating custody battles, surviving domestic violence and complex trauma, and building a life worth living beyond survival mode for me and my kids.

As a fellow traveler on the path of complex trauma recovery, I bring my personal recovery journey to my research expertise in complex, relational & attachment trauma. 

Whether you're a prospective client or fellow advocate/practitioner or solo entrepreneur, I've built a suite of offerings designed to get you faster results at a smaller expense. 

Dr. Amanda Brees Ministries is the umbrella for the various offerings to support survivors most effectively. Whether you're an attorney looking for paralegal or creative direction support, a survivor looking for holistic trauma recovery, or a holistic practitioner hoping to build a thriving practice, I'm here to support you.

Why do I call it a ministry? Because I truly believe in the power of this work to (finally) touch each of the seemingly unrelated pain points of the survivor. Whether you're reckoning with finally leaving that addict, rebuilding your life after divorce, or serving survivors as a practitioner, I offer comprehensive support.

If you are a church, yoga studio or victim advocate/legal professional, I'm also very happy to partner with you in building a trauma-informed practice.
