Amanda's Story

My name is Amanda Struijck-Westlake and I was born in England in 1964. I remember I was always outside in the garden, looking for bugs under the stones and talking to animals. As a little girl I imagined I was a Native American, I loved to sing and wanted to discover the world.

When I was 5 years old our family emigrated to the Netherlands and I grew up in Apeldoorn. We still went to England every year for a month on holiday. After visiting family we usually went to special places and years later I realized that these were sacred sites. 

During my life in the Netherlands I wanted to fit in and went out of my way to achieve this. As I grew older I learned to recognize what others needed so well that I had forgotten what my needs were.

I went out with friends, met a nice boy, we lived together and later on got married. I worked for a large insurance company. This was okay for many years until our children were born and I discovered that I actually didn’t know myself at all. I was missing something essential and that left me sad and angry. It felt empty and full at the same time and I was depressed and went through two burn-outs and a lot of physical issues.

I wanted to go back to England to start over because I didn’t feel connected to life, I couldn’t feel my roots and felt as if I had left a piece of me behind in England. This was the start of my quest as to who I am and why I am here on Earth. I discovered my extra sense of sight, feeling and knowing things, but in the beginning that was more confusing than helpful.

I followed many courses and training in the field of spirituality, mindfulness and meditation, chakra teachings, intuitive massage, quantum touch, womens circles, Shambala MDH and reading/healing. At this time I also started to remember my past Shamanic lives and Celtic/Druid roots.

As my awareness grew I also remembered my connection to other dimensions and starsystems, DNA codes and symbols. Also my spirit guides and helpers appeared. To integrate all of this I needed to walk barefoot in nature. 

Nature is my great love, the peace to just ‘be’ and learn to understand her language. Everything in nature speaks to me and inspires me so much.

During my quest it also became clear that I am a ‘natural energy transmitter’, which led me to gridwork where I am called to go. More info about this you can find on Sacred Earth.

And now…many years later…I know that everything is part of my Earth Story and I’m still learning more every day.

As I am rewriting the chapters of my Earth Story I realize that by just being on Earth, even though I am only one person, I can make a difference in the world. It was and still is an adventure which I will never forget an which I am deeply grateful for.

If feel more balanced and at peace inside, and I allow myself to live more from my heart. I always have a choice in life and that feels good.

My compass is realigned with my Earth Story and from this firm foundation I offer my services for humanity and Mother Earth. With respect, love and passion I’d love to walk with you for a while, if you feel you need a helping hand or just someone who listens to your deepest revelations.  

Love Amanda
