Dr. Eric Holsapple

Founder

Dr. Eric J. Holsapple, best selling author and business leader, has realized the value of mindfulness as not only a path to personal success, but as a sound business strategy.

Mindfulness can increase company productivity, reduce healthcare costs, and give businesses a competitive edge. It also creates an opportunity for far-reaching influence and impact. When shared within an organization, mindfulness produces a ripple effect that can not only transform company culture but also expand the happiness and well-being of its employees, their families and communities, and essentially the world.

In addition to providing leadership at Living in the Gap, Eric has been a successful developer, entrepreneur, CEO, university lecturer, yoga and meditation practitioner and teacher, and philanthropist. He holds an MBA and a Ph.D. in economics.

Amanda Pombar

Facilitator

Amanda has worked as a peer mentor for those living with mental health challenges, co-owned and operated a boutique gym, and worked as a life skills coordinator for moms and children from domestic violent homes. She is a certified Self Soul Spirit Facilitator by the Center of Creative Choice and a Nature-Connected guide through the Earth Based Institute located in Boulder, Colorado. 

Amanda enjoys being outside and has found it to be a way of working with people through transitions: divorce, becoming a new parent, dating, adulting, death and grief, and others. She facilitates awareness in her clients so they can live a Soul-directed life. 

Always choosing experiences to grow and learn led her to Living in the Gap and being certified as a mindful leader. She is a facilitator for the program and supports participants as they practice mindfulness, create a vision for their life, and take steps towards Soul-directed living.
