Healing Arts Background
Amanda Lux, BCPP, RPE, Ch, LMT, (she/ her pronouns)
I am a Board Certified Polarity Therapist, Registered Polarity Educator, BodyMind Bridge Hypnotherapist, Embodied Energy Medicine Coach, Author, Artist, Podcaster & Mother (of two amazing adult humans and step mother to three more). (Oh, and one adorable dog).
I have been practicing dreamwork, personal development and spiritual healing most of my life. I am trained in the arts of embodied intuitive healing, distance healing, dreamwork, energy/chakra/aura reading, and more.
I have offered many classes and workshops in person and online for empaths, massage therapists, energy practitioners and people of all walks who are interested in learning, healing and evolving in an embodied, holistic way.
I have been a massage, polarity, and craniosacral therapist offering energy-based bodywork and coaching professionally since 2004.
I have given over ten thousand private session over the past twenty years, and am incredibly grateful to be of service in this way. I have worked with people from so many walks of life and I strive to hold sacred space with diversity and inclusivity in mind.
No matter your race, sexual orientation or identification, I am committed to humbly showing up and to doing my best to understand your unique barriers, gifts and graces.
I am sincerely grateful for your interest and look forward to working with you if it feels aligned.
acknowledgment of lineage & privilege:
In an attempt to acknowledge and hopefully offset some the historical and current inequities that have affected many of the populations whose sacred work has been appropriated over time, much of which has been inherently woven in to some of what I teach at the Elevation Hive, I donate to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center each month. My hope is that as things grow, I can make an ever increasing impact and contribution not only financially but energetically, through sacred reciprocity and right relationship.
Education & professional experience:
I began my healing practice in 2003 in L.A. where I studied massage, Cranial Sacral Unwinding and Polarity Therapy at the Institute of Psycho Structural Balancing
I have run a thriving private healing practice in Olympia, WA since 2006. Experience has been by far my greatest education.
I studied behavioral medicine, yoga, cranial sacral therapy, somatic psychology and nutrition at the Evergreen State College.
I am a Board Certified Polarity Practitioner and Registered Polarity Educator through APTA having studied with The Life Energy Institute
I am a certified Transformational life coach through the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts
I have been a registered hypnotherapist in the state of WA since 2013 and a certified BodyMind Bridge practitioner through the BodyMind Bridge Institute
I studied with Robert Moss in his Active Dream Teacher training
I completed Aroma Yoga teacher training with Tracy Griffiths
I completed my Polarity Therapy ( and cranial sacral unwinding) Teacher Training with Gary Strauss at the Life Energy Institute.
I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga 4-6 days a week with the same certified Ashtanga teacher since 2010. Maintaining a consistent yoga practice has been an essential part of my training in human nature, discipline, mind and breath control, and body/energy awareness. I never go anywhere without my mat.
I opened the Elevation Hive School of Energy Medicine in 2018 where I taught in-person Polarity Therapy classes
2020-2022 I moved my school online and expanded it to include a forum for sharing dreams and offering monthly dream circles online
I wrote and published The SoulCare Workbook: A 33-Day Journey through your Chakras and Elements (purchase on Amazon here) which also comes with an online interactive video course.
I owe a great deal of gratitude to my mentor Tamra Karuna who is a gifted shamanic practitioner. She held impeccable space for me to do my own healing and to make sense of the conversations Spirit was engaging with me in, through the practice of conscious Dream Journey Work.
*Without her I don't know if I ever would have had the courage to teach.
