Program Description
Bend Like Bamboo Business offers a transformative in-person monthly workshop series for forward-thinking leaders and executives at Central House Toorak, Melbourne.
Led by Melbourne's well-known Kinesiologist, Former CEO of Nourissh and Founder of Bend Like Bamboo, these interactive sessions blend cutting-edge mind-body techniques with practical leadership strategies.
In today's high-pressure business environment, leaders face unprecedented challenges that impact both performance and well-being. Our unique methodology addresses this reality by teaching leaders to be like bamboo—strong, flexible, and resilient even in the strongest storms.
Each monthly session creates a powerful space where leaders can:

Build a community of like-minded professionals committed to sustainable excellence

Implement practical tools that bridge the gap between personal well-being and professional success
Drawing from extensive experience working with executives across industries, Amanda brings a unique dual perspective as both a trusted advisor and a successful entrepreneur. Having built multiple start-ups from the ground up, secured investor funding, and led teams as CEO, she intimately understands the pressures and challenges leaders face daily. This rare combination of clinical expertise and hands-on business leadership allows her to address both the visible and invisible barriers to excellence with authentic, tested strategies that resonate with executives at all levels.

Note: This leadership program is designed to complement, not replace, professional business coaching or organisational consulting. While our approach addresses the mind-body connection in leadership, we recommend working with relevant advisors on specific business strategy, legal, or financial matters about your organisation.
Why this program and how can I help?
After my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at age 24 and overcoming a left-hand side body paralysis at age 29, I discovered that stress impacts our ability to repair and heal.
Helping others now I discovered that a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters: our body’s ability to repair, adapt and perform.
Drawing from my roles as a CEO, business owner, a practitioner and also the patient, I offer a unique perspective rooted in personal experience.
My approach blends practical strategies with compassionate support, empowering you and your team towards lasting positive change with the art of bending like bamboo.
At Bend Like Bamboo, I help individuals overcome stress and limiting beliefs to optimise healing, reducing symptoms from Autoimmune Disease.
As a Coach, Author and keynote speaker, I help individuals overcome stress and burnout, uncovering blind spots to achieve their personal and professional goals. It is my passion to help individuals re-imagine possibility in their minds, bodies and lives.
My goal for this program is to empower you to move at your own pace as you navigate setbacks and break free from unhelpful habits, patterns, and behaviours. Together, we'll shift your mindset from closed to growth-oriented, enabling you to embrace new possibilities and foster lasting change.
I believe this is the best environment to promote growth and repair in our minds and bodies to heal.
Join us on this transformative journey and unlock your potential for healing and personal growth!
