Author, Teacher  & Speaker

As a scientist-practitioner and contemplative neurotheologian, I serve survivors locally and globally. Based in Pepin, WI, I’m available to teach or speak at trainings and events. I bring both practical field experience and advanced graduate work in relational trauma care, alongside doctoral-level teaching credentials.

I was the first to research the intersection of interfaith, faith-aware complementary therapies for adult survivors of complex and family trauma. As a veteran survivor, I translate advanced attachment traumatology into everyday reality—with humor and clear, practical support for the lived challenges survivors face, including family court navigation, recovery concerns, and healing from childhood trauma.

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 rebuilding a life beyond survival mode for me and my kids.

As a fellow traveler in complex trauma recovery, I pair lived experience with research expertise in complex, relational, and attachment trauma.

Whether you’re a prospective client, advocate/practitioner, or solo entrepreneur, I’ve built offerings that deliver clearer results at a lower lift and cost.

I lead with a Christian‑mystic lens—contemplative, justice‑minded, Jesus‑curious—and I also serve in an interfaith, 12‑step‑friendly, and transpersonal psychology‑informed way. Whether you’re an attorney seeking trauma‑informed advocacy or creative direction, a survivor pursuing holistic recovery, or a holistic practitioner building a thriving practice—I’m here to help.

This work meets the whole person—body, mind, spirit, and daily life—without dogma or spiritual bypass by appealing to the sanity of a higher power in both interfaith & faith-based contexts. Whether you’re leaving an addict, rebuilding after divorce, or serving survivors yourself, you’ll find comprehensive, coordinated care here.

If you’re a community leader, yoga studio, recovery group, or legal professional/advocate, I’m available to partner with you to build trauma‑informed, interfaith‑aligned practice.

Dr. Brees is a pioneering scientist-practitioner in family trauma.
