A year ago, I closed the doors to Lumière.

A few years ago, life cracked me open in ways I never expected. And then again this fall and winter, when our son lost his vision and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Life created so much change in our world.

For a long time, I felt myself slowing down. Not because I had nothing inside me, but because my body was trying to keep up with everything life was asking me to hold.

And now here I am in spring.Full of ideas again. Inspiration returning. Feeling excitement and creativity moving back through me.

At the same time, my body is still asking for slow.

And instead of fighting that, I’m learning to honor it.

I’m learning to move with life differently than I ever have before. To go with the flow instead of forcing myself to keep up with older versions of myself.

Because the truth is, the soul can hold so much vision and desire to create… but the body is the vessel carrying it all. If the body is not grounded, nourished, and cared for, eventually it speaks louder.

And I think this season has changed the way I hold people too.

Softer. Slower. More intentional. Less rushing. More listening.

Maybe that’s why opening this new private studio feels so significant to me.

Not because it’s flashy or big. But because it was built from this chapter. From slowing down. From reevaluating everything. From wanting something quieter, more intentional, more human.

A sacred little space where I can meet with people one on one.For hair. For conversation. For quiet. For care. For reconnection.

It feels vulnerable opening my doors again in a new way. But it also feels deeply right.

So if life has been asking you to slow down too, whether from something personal, collective or both… this is your reminder to listen.

Our bodies are not inconveniences. They are the vessels carrying us through this life. We cannot bypass them and expect to stay whole.

With love,
Amanda

I’ve been feeling a quiet pull toward this work…
and today it became real.

First set of loc extensions on this beautiful woman.

This isn’t just about adding hair.
it’s about creating something that feels like you’ve always had it…
something that settles in naturally, not forced.

If you’ve been feeling the pull, you can message me or book a consult through my website.
Available at all locations.

My moment of breath and sort of stillness with Luna this morning.

Are you breathing? Not the automatic kind I mean being aware of your breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
The kind of breath that you relax your face, your shoulders in, the breath down to your toes, the exhale out letting the worlds, the personal, the neighbors, the work stuff go.

You are allowed to do this.

May this be your reminder, it’s okay to pause and let it all go to just breathe and be. ❤️

This is what I hold space for.

A few updates from my space.

I’ve just relaunched a new website, which shares more about the work I’m doing and the different ways people can come in for sessions.

There are also a few offerings that have quietly taken shape:

The Landing — a quiet hands-on session focused on nervous system settling and energetic support.

Embodied Arrival — private small group experiences that can include head spa and facial treatments.

I’m also now offering Head Spa sessions in Williston on Tuesdays.

After a quieter season for group work, I’ll be opening my first small gathering of the year under the April Pink Moon.

🌕 Pink Moon Gathering
April 2
Lyndonville
6:00–7:00 pm
$33

These gatherings are simple,a place to slow down, breathe, and settle together while I move through the room offering intuitive touch, energetic support, and presence.

Sometimes sound moves through the space as well.

Nothing forced.
Just a place to land.

If you’d like to join, just message me.

You can also explore the new site here: https://www.amandaduffy.life

Trust. Surrender and allow.

Something new unfolded in the room today.

A slower, hands-on session where we begin with breath and grounding through the back and shoulders, allowing the body to settle. From there the session moves intuitively, sometimes through the neck and scalp, sometimes through the hands or feet, simply following what the body needs in the moment.

This session is dry (no water) and focuses on breath, touch, energy and intuitive guidance to help the nervous system settle and the body land.

It’s not massage.It’s not a reading.

Just a space to land.

This offering is on the menu as The Landing, 60-minute hands-on session.

If your body is craving something slower, quieter and deeply regulating, it’s now available to book.

A year ago, I stepped back from group gatherings.

I needed quiet.
I needed simplicity.
I needed to let what wasn’t aligned fall away.

And now, I feel ready to open the door again.

What was once called Goddess Day has become Embodied Arrival.

A small circle of 3–4 women.
Each woman receives her own individual head spa session.
We close the day gathered together in circle.

Slow. Intentional. Intimate.

On select dates, Embodied Arrival can also include optional facials with Molly of Lovely Esthetics, depending on availability.

Circle-only gatherings will be announced soon.

If you’re feeling called to book an Embodied Arrival for your group, reach out directly.

With Love,
Amanda

you’re allowed to soften here.

There’s a moment before the water.

Before the turning.
Before the breath deepens.

I’ve been honoring that space more intentionally.

You’ll now see the option to add sustained warmth and slower upper back work to Deep Arrival.

It’s subtle.
But powerful.

A little more time for the nervous system to settle before we move forward.

Not something new.
Just something more complete.
