The word Mandara reflects part of my own personal name Amanda, in fact my close family and friends would often call me "Mand", but notably the name Mandara I learnt, has Indian origins and is used in the Sanskrit language, meaning Coral Tree. It also refers to Mount Mandara, central to the Hindu mythical story of the "churning of the ocean" used to create the elixir of immortality. This mythological connection has symbolic meanings of strength, stability and the pursuit of higher goals.

In English, Japanese, Hawaiian and other cultures, the Mandara Flower, otherwise known as the HIBISCUS has further spiritual significance symbolising Beauty, Purity, Love, Friendship and Healing, whilst offering the sacred Hibiscus Flowers to the Gods, is said to bring blessings and good fortune. 

Personally I love the Flower but also Hibiscus Tea, that is believed to be beneficial for heart health by helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and it is rich in antioxidants that protect against cell damage.

 I believe strongly in supporting, nurturing, balancing and protecting the body, mind and spirit through naturally derived sources that our Earth provides whenever possible and have always opted for natural therapies, solutions and remedies for my own well-being in the first instance.

 My aim is to provide you with a high standard of service and professionalism, whilst offering a positive, warm, empathetic and friendly approach to service, so whatever life-journey you are on, it ensures that the focus is about helping you to feel valued, happy, relaxed and treated as the wonderful beautiful soul that you are.  Often we need reminding!
