A journey of remembering...

My Truth. My Reclamation. My Why.
I'm Amanda Mae, founder of FreeBird Healing.
For as long as I can remember, I've carried an intuitive knowing I didn't always understand—and spent many years trying to hide. It was a quiet voice within me, something I felt long before I had the words to explain it. A calling of my soul to be here now, in this moment.
THE BEGINNING
Much like the rest of humanity, my journey began in a childhood marked by trauma, uncertainty, and experiences no child should have to navigate alone.
At just eight years old, I found the courage to tell my mother what had happened to me. Something shifted within me that day. Even then, deep in my soul, I carried a knowing that I was here to change the narrative.
But knowing your truth and learning how to live it are two very different things.
My early years were complicated. I struggled to find my place in the world, left high school, and became a mother as a teenager. At seventeen, I gave birth to my eldest son, who became a beacon of light in my life—a thread connecting me to something deeper within myself, even when I had lost sight of who I was. A few years later, my youngest son came into my life and thus sparked a deeper love of life.
Through the years, life asked more of me than I always knew how to give. I spent twenty-five years in a trauma bonded marriage, and with so much respect to my ex-husband, we were kids when we met and weren't always our most healed selves. I wish him nothing but love & happiness. None the less... navigating the responsibilities, expectations, and experiences that shaped me has allowed me to see beyond the veil of illusion and learn to step into the highest version of myself.
Somewhere along the way, I began to lose touch with the parts of myself that had always felt the most authentic.
My intuition.
My sensitivity.
My inner knowing.
The parts of me that felt different, yet somehow understood there was more to this life than what I could see on the surface.
For years, I lived in survival mode, putting the needs of others before my own, carrying the weight of my past, and slowly disconnecting from the woman I knew existed somewhere beneath it all.
But even in the darkest chapters, something inside me refused to give up.
I didn't know it then, but the journey back to myself had already begun.
My Journey of Awakening
THE REMEMBERING
Then plant medicine entered my life.
For me, it became a catalyst for looking inward, questioning old narratives, and reconnecting with parts of myself I had buried beneath years of survival.
It opened the door to reflection and helped me begin asking questions I had carried for much of my life:
Who am I beneath everything I've been through?
What parts of myself have I abandoned along the way?
And what might become possible if I stopped hiding?
I began to remember—not that I needed to become someone new, but that there were parts of me waiting to be acknowledged, understood, and welcomed home.
What followed wasn't an overnight transformation or a perfectly straight path to healing. It was a process of reclaiming my voice, honoring my intuition, and learning to meet myself beyond the identities, expectations, and experiences that had defined so much of my life.
And that reclamation wasn't just emotional or spiritual. It was physical, too.
Over the course of three years, I naturally lost 160 pounds.
No shortcuts.
No overnight miracles.
Just a journey of learning to show up for myself, one decision at a time.
But the greatest transformation wasn't the number on the scale.
It was the relationship I began rebuilding with myself.
I started recognizing that caring for my body wasn't about punishment, shame, or becoming someone more worthy of love. It was about honoring the body that had carried me through every chapter of my life.
It was about choosing myself.
Learning to listen to my needs. Learning that I was allowed to take up space, establish boundaries, and build a life that felt aligned with who I truly was.
I began to understand that reclamation wasn't about erasing my past. It was about recognizing that my past could be part of my story without having to dictate every chapter that followed.
I didn't need to become someone else.
I needed to reconnect with the woman I had spent so many years trying to hide.
That realization became part of the heart of FreeBird Healing.
MY WHY
Today, my passion lies in plant medicine education, spiritual exploration, and creating space for reflection, understanding, and personal empowerment.
But my why goes deeper than a business, a title, or a calling.
My why is rooted in love.
The love I have for my boys. The love that has carried me through some of the most difficult moments of my life. The love that has challenged me to grow, to look inward, and to become more intentional about the example I set.
Being a mother has been one of my greatest gifts and teachers.
My boys have given me reasons to keep going when life felt impossibly heavy. They've reminded me of the importance of compassion, accountability, forgiveness, and, at my core, a deep unconditional love.
I want them to know that their stories do not have to be defined by their struggles. That strength isn't about never falling down, but about finding the courage to rise again.
I want them to understand that vulnerability is not weakness, that asking for help takes courage, and that they are worthy of love exactly as they are. And perhaps most importantly, I want them to see that it's never too late to change the narrative.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can teach our children is what it looks like to choose healing for ourselves.
My love for them is woven into everything I do, everything I continue to learn, and the legacy I hope to leave behind.
I believe knowledge matters. I believe meaningful experiences deserve thoughtful integration. And I believe each person's journey is uniquely their own.
I don't believe healing means pretending the past never happened.
I believe it means learning to honor our experiences without allowing them to define everything we become. To make peace with our past and strive for a better future.
It means making room for curiosity, self-compassion, personal responsibility, and the possibility of seeing ourselves—and our lives—with new understanding.
FreeBird Healing was born from my desire to create a compassionate, judgment-free space where people can ask questions, explore their experiences, deepen their understanding, and reconnect with themselves at their own pace.
I share my story not because I have every answer, but because I know what it feels like to lose touch with yourself.
I know what it can mean to begin questioning the narratives you've carried, to find the courage to look inward, and to take those first steps toward finding your way back.
For years, I hid the parts of myself that made me who I am.
Today, I want to help create space for others to discover, honor, and embrace the parts of themselves they may have forgotten, silenced, or never fully understood.
Not by telling anyone who they should be, but by supporting them as they explore who they are for themselves.
A story of survival, awakening, and reclamation—but above all, a reminder that our stories are still unfolding.
We can honor where we've been while remaining open to who we are becoming.
If something within you is calling you toward deeper understanding, spiritual exploration, or a more authentic connection with yourself, there is a place for you here.
You don't need to have it all figured out.
You don't need to arrive with all the right words.
You only need the willingness to begin where you are.
