Does this sound familiar?

You're the one everyone leans on. So who holds you?

You solve problems all day. It's the job, and you're good at it. But rest feels like falling behind, and asking for support feels harder than doing it yourself. You know something needs to change, but slowing down feels impossible.

How it works

Regulation before strategy

Using gentle muscle monitoring, Amanda explores how stress shows up in your body, in layers: physical, emotional, nourishment and energetic. She combines kinesiology with nervous system regulation and resilience coaching through the BAMBOO Method, so each session leads to practical tools you can use in a busy week.

  • No diagnosis needed. Amanda works with what you're experiencing right now.
  • The whole picture. Body, mind, emotions and energy, worked on together.
  • Alongside your medical care. Amanda doesn't diagnose or treat medical conditions, and the work never replaces the care your doctors provide.
  • Gentle and non-invasive. Sessions in Brighton, McCrae or on Zoom.

The practitioner. The patient. The CEO.

I learned to bend the hard way

I was diagnosed with MS at 24. At 29, an MS attack left me unable to walk, and I was told I had a 50% chance of walking normally again. I had no choice but to stop, and in that stopping I learned how to bend.

With my medical team, I walked again. Along the way I discovered kinesiology, and it changed the direction of my life and career. I've been in remission for 16 years. What I learned became the foundation of how I work with leaders and founders.

Bend, don't break.
