Meet Amanda Higgins

We recently connected with Amanda Higgins and have shared our conversation below.

Amanda , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I found my purpose after I felt like my life was falling “apart”. Looking back, it was the pieces of me that no longer served me being chipped away, leaving a stronger, new me. The outside noises -whether it was the opinions of others or the lack of confidence in myself- had dispersed.
I knew I had a path of peace to follow and along this path, I learned that so many have never felt safe in their own body; often times, due to trauma or mental illness. I had found my passion, helping others find the peace and safety in their own body, as I had.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am the owner of Breath of Life Spa located in Mayfield, KY. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2020! My goal for every session with the individual client is for him/her to feel welcomed and relaxed as they walk into our space. During the treatment, to alleviate any pain that causes daily struggles and to have a safe space to open up about their daily lives or to have a safe space to hit the “reset button” and rest the mind. After every session, the best feeling is seeing the natural glow of relaxation over the clients face.

I specialize in craniosacral therapy and deep tissue massage. I am always looking to expand my practice by offering different approaches to the session for the specific clients needs. I enjoy offering more relaxing techniques such as hot oil scalp massage, Swedish massage and body scrubs.

As the owner of the spa, we also offer services such as: facials, lymphatic drainage, life coaching, headspa, waxings, and eyelash extensions!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Communication, yearning for more, and passion are the three top qualities that have brought me to where I am today. I have a way to make people feel welcomed, wanted and seen while they are in my facility or on my table. I am always looking for ways to improve my techniques to better help my clients. My passion for my work is what keeps me driven to continue in my line of work without having a “burn out” stage.

My advice to anyone in field of massage therapy is to find your niche. There are many types of massage therapy you can offer. Find a technique that intrigues you to get you excited to work on your clients and see the progress of the technique.

What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?

Over the past 12 months, my body physically has undergone so much change due to having my son, Ryker. This was a huge adjustment in my everyday routine, especially with work. I had to adjust my stances during my sessions, had to cut down on how many clients I could see in a day, etc.

It was a huge eye opener for me, specifically for how much a woman’s body changes during this stage of her life. I had to learn to take life at a much slower pace.
