Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Player.
Hi Amanda, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always been an independent woman—driven, determined, and willing to work hard for everything I have. But it wasn’t until my early thirties, while walking through some of life’s hardest seasons, that I truly discovered what healing meant.
I began exploring holistic practices and writing in a journal that soon became my sanctuary—a safe space filled with methods that nourished my mind, body, and spirit. Through those pages, I found peace, clarity, and a sense of wholeness I hadn’t felt before. That’s when I knew I wanted to share this light with others.
I turned my words into a healing journal, had it beautifully designed, and printed 200 copies. I started small—selling at holistic fairs, meeting people, and sharing my story. Alongside the journals, I created handmade essential oil sprays and other metaphysical products infused with intention and love. Each one was made to help others feel calm, centered, and connected to themselves again.
My passion grew into purpose. I became a certified yoga teacher, a Reiki Master after three dedicated years of study, and a sound healing practitioner. Every step brought me closer to my dream: to create a space that offered complete healing for the soul—a place where others could restore balance, find inner peace, and remember their own power.
I knew I wanted this for my hometown Pleasant Hill, a small town just south of Kansas City. I was led to a building in historic downtown and began transforming it- room by room—into the perfect escape!
Now, my dream is alive in a space that blends holistic healing with complete beauty and wellness services. Here, we offer a variety of spa treatments alongside energy work, yoga, sound healing, and all-natural handmade products—everything designed to bring harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. It’s a place where self-care becomes sacred and where beauty radiates from the inside out.
It wasn’t always easy; there were tears, moments of doubt, and times I almost gave up. But my faith and my calling kept me moving forward.
Now, nearly two years since opening in April 2025, I look around and see what once lived only in my imagination—a space born from healing, and hope. I still work full-time managing a dental office, and love everything about my patients and job, but my soul work happens here—teaching, creating, and helping others rediscover their light and enhancing their natural beauty.
What we built isn’t just a spa—it’s a reflection of a journey. It’s self-made, spirit-led, and rooted deeply in love. Our mission is simple: to help people heal, to remind them they are worthy of peace, and to show that true beauty and wholeness begin within.
This is just the beginning , and I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Absolutely not — my journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced countless hardships along the way: loss of friends, family, and painful separations that tested my strength and faith. Yet through every trial, I’ve learned, grown, and continued to move forward with purpose. Each challenge has shaped who I am today — stronger, wiser, and more grounded in gratitude and faith.”
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m truly proud of how far I’ve come — balancing a full-time job while building my own business and sharing my holistic healing methods with others. There were moments of doubt, but I never let fear take the lead. I held on to faith, trusting that even the smallest beginnings can grow into something meaningful.
In a small town where change isn’t always embraced, I chose to walk a different path — one led by purpose, healing, and the belief that self-care can transform lives. My hope has always been to help others open their hearts and minds to new ways of healing, to remind them that peace and balance are possible, no matter where they are in life.
This journey hasn’t just been about building a business; it’s been about giving others a place where they can feel complete again.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been so worth it. Every challenge has strengthened my faith and reminded me that God is always by my side. Through it all, I’ve learned the beauty of trusting the process and finding peace in the journey.
At Divine Om Spa, we look forward to welcoming you with open arms. Come relax, unwind, and let us take care of you. You deserve to feel restored, balanced, and at peace — inside and out.”* #takecareofyou
