Amanda Owen

Amanda Owen, a consultant, author and lecturer, has been presenting lectures and workshops since the mid-eighties on spirituality, empowerment and self-improvement. She began exploring the themes of receiving and giving in the mid-nineties, working with clients and presenting lectures on this subject. This ultimately led Amanda to create a series of seminars, courses and workshops on the link between manifestation and receptivity. Her work has reached a world-wide audience. She recently completed a manuscript Receive! You Know How to Give, Now Learn How to Receive which follows the format of her five-week Receive and Manifest course.

Amanda reaches an international audience conducting tele-courses as well as lectures and seminars on the material of Receive! These presentations are helping people to manifest their dreams and goals by developing and strengthening their capacity to receive them.

Amanda’s varied professions have a common denominator: to serve, educate and contribute. With a BA in Psychology and as a coach, counselor and consultant, she has worked in fields as diverse as social work, auto mechanics and celestial mechanics (astrology). Yet, the through-thread is the same: providing support, diagnosis, strategies, problem-solving, and tune-ups whether for cars, people or organizations.

Amanda’s first book Lucky Stars, (Three Rivers Press, 2001), has sold over 12,000 copies and is currently in its third printing. Amanda wrote Lucky Stars to help teenagers and young adults develop confidence and gain self-knowledge through the lens of their Sun sign. Lucky Stars received excellent reviews and praise from well-known astrologers, including Michael Lutin and Kelli Fox. It was also lauded by Christiane Northrup, MD, bestselling author of several books,  including Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Creating a Legacy of Emotional and Physical Health (Bantam, 2005), and Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder of the Omega Institute and author of The Seeker's Guide (Villard, 2000).

Amanda has been a published writer since 1994. Her writing credits include numerous articles and website content for the astrology market including current content for the largest international site for astrology, www.astrology.com, and publications including Horoscope Guide, American Astrology and Mountain Astrologer. She has also written articles and website content for CosmoGIRL.
