About
TrueHeart’s Founder
Psychic medium and spiritual healing guide Amanda Staab created TrueHeart Healing to make alternative methods more accessible. She also aims to help her clients learn how to use those methods to awaken and develop their spirituality and become their own healers.
Amanda has been studying and practicing core shamanism and spiritual healing for 10+ years. She completed the two-year Ravens Drum program led by shamanic practitioner and author Julie Lange Groth in 2019.
More recently, Amanda was accepted into world-renowned expert Sandra Ingerman’s one-year Advanced Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training in 2024.
Amanda also has had the privilege of studying traditional Native American medicine one-on-one with a Lenape tribe healer, who initially introduced her to alternative healing a decade ago.
Her signature method has evolved to blend what she has learned from all her teachers as well as experienced while serving clients. Through her work, Amanda honors her teachers and their ways, which she has been granted permission to practice, share and teach.
Amanda also has been certified as a psychic medium. She studied at the College of Psychic Studies in the UK and other institutions and is continuously working to develop her skills.
Amanda also is currently working toward becoming a certified hypnotherapist. She is very excited about sharing this new modality with her clients in the near future.
Previously, Amanda was an award-winning journalist and earned her master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.

Through my desire to share what has helped me heal with others who might be suffering or feeling lost, TrueHeart Healing was born.
From TrueHeart’s Founder
Because early life experiences taught me what it’s like to feel helpless and invisible, my focus as an adult has been to help and support others.
As a journalist, I dedicated my career to seeking out and listening to the voices that had often been ignored or disregarded but had important things to say. I told the stories of everyday people and helped a disabled woman finally get a designated parking spot in front of her urban home, a financially challenged grandmother find a surgeon willing to remove her life-threatening aneurysm free of charge, a distraught father raise much-needed funds for research on his son’s degenerative disease — and many others like them. I garnered the reputation as a journalist who cared.
An innate knowing
One day, I received an email from a member of a local Native American tribe. He wrote that he was desperate for someone to shed light on his story. He’d already reached out to dozens of reporters in the New York metropolitan area, but no one responded. I scheduled a meeting with him and started investigating.
I spent a year interviewing different tribal members, listening to their individual stories as well as their shared history and ways. So much of what they had to say resonated deep within me and touched on what I innately knew as a child but had been told was ridiculous or not true. At one point during an interview, I heard my heart say, ‘This is what I have been trying to tell you.’ I was finally listening and determined to continue listening. That’s when my journey began.
A desire to help
I sought the alternative healing methods that had been described to me. After the first soul retrieval I received, I felt like a different person, like the volume had been turned down on my anxiety. I felt more grounded and wondered why more people didn’t know about this.
After getting to know me and sensing my genuine desire to help people, one of the tribe’s healers offered to teach me. As soon as, I started studying, other teachers in other modalities came into my life. My focus shifted to core shamanism, a practice of ancient, universal healing techniques that have been adapted by many different people and cultures around the world.
A way to share
Knowing that these ways can be controversial — despite feeling natural and being helpful — I kept my practice private for years. I had no intention of offering spiritual healing sessions to anyone beyond my immediate family and closest friends.
But when one of my beloved teachers became ill and asked if she could refer clients to me, I decided to trust her guidance and open up to others.
Around the same time, I discovered I am a natural medium and decided to develop those skills as another way to offer healing to people — by helping them connect with their loved ones in spirit and receive their messages.
Through my desire to share what has helped me heal with others who might be suffering or feeling lost, TrueHeart Healing was born.
My practice is in honor of everything and everyone who came before me, all of my teachers and their ways, which I have sought and been granted permission to practice, share and teach. My own method blends what they taught me as well as what has resonated with my clients.
A path forward
TrueHeart Healing is dedicated to helping people tap into the wisdom and compassion of the spirit realm to gain the insights and guidance they need to heal themselves and transform their lives.
