Stop bracing for burnout. Start leading with flexibility and resilience — in 6 months.
Nervous system coaching for founders and entrepreneurs — with a founder who's led at the top and lived it.
Meet Amanda — the founder and former CEO who has been where you are.
As co-founder and former CEO of a startup, Amanda knows the compounding weight of leading at the top — the constant problem-solving, the responsibility that never switches off, and the toll it takes on the nervous system when the demands outpace the recovery. She's spent 13 years building the method that got her back — and gets her clients back too.
The THRIVE program is a 1:1 nervous system regulation and resilience journey for entrepreneurs and founders performing at the top — and quietly running on empty.
Designed to help you lead with the flexibility, resilience and clarity to meet anything — in 6 months.
We work on the right layer
Most approaches treat the strategy and the external.
THRIVE works with what's underneath: your nervous system.
When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, your body prioritises pushing over sustaining — no matter how disciplined your morning routine is, or how well you understand what you "should" be doing. THRIVE addresses those patterns directly, getting to the root cause of chronic stress and burnout.
That's why founders and entrepreneurs who've tried mindset coaching, executive coaching, and every biohack in the book often finally find results with THRIVE.

What to expect in 6 Months
Working with Amanda 1:1 — in person in Melbourne or on Zoom — most clients feel the first shift within a few weeks. Not just symptom relief. A whole-body reset, for a life that finally feels like yours again.
Weeks 1–3: More energy, clearer thinking, better sleep.
Weeks 4–6: A steadier energy, sharper focus, and the flexibility to meet whatever the day brings without breaking.
Weeks 7–8: A genuinely different relationship with your work, your body and your capacity - the resilience to lead sustainably - not survive.

Why people choose Amanda when nothing else has worked
-
As co-founder and former CEO of a startup, Amanda knows the specific weight of leading at the top — the constant problem-solving, the pressure to keep performing, and the toll it takes when the demands outpace the recovery. She isn't just your coach. She's a peer with a proven method.
-
Most approaches treat what's visible — Amanda works with what's underneath: the nervous system patterns and chronic stress responses that keep founders stuck in overdrive. When those shift, everything else shifts with them.
-
As a qualified Sports Kinesiologist, Amanda has spent over a decade working with founders, leaders and high performers whose nervous systems were holding them back. Her clinical experience means she works at the level where burnout actually lives — not the surface.
-
The BAMBOO Method is a repeatable, science-informed framework that integrates nervous system regulation, somatic performance science, mindset, and sustainable lifestyle design. It's structured enough to be measurable, and personalised enough to work for your specific situation as a founder or entrepreneur.

What is kinesiology, and why does it work when other things haven't?
Think of it this way: your body holds the answers. Kinesiology helps us to ask the right questions.
No diagnosis required. We work with what your body and your leadership are experiencing right now.
Addresses the nervous system, mindset, emotions and performance patterns together — not in isolation.
Complements executive coaching, therapy and your existing team of advisors. It doesn't replace them.
Many founders notice shifts — in sleep, focus and clarity — within the very first session.
Melbourne's Founder Burnout & Nervous System Specialist
Your nervous system is ready to lead. Let's remove what's in the way.
Whether you're a founder feeling the edge of burnout, an entrepreneur running on adrenaline for too long, or a leader who knows the way you're operating isn't sustainable — there's a root cause.
And it can be addressed.
Why is Amanda different?
She’s been the patient, the practitioner and the CEO.
-
At 29, Amanda woke up unable to move her legs after an MS attack. Given a 50% chance of walking again, she used the same methods she now brings to her clients — and has been in full remission for 16+ years.
-
As a co-founder and former CEO of Nourish, Amanda understands the compounding pressure of high performance and chronic stress on the body, and exactly how that pressure manifests as physical symptoms over time.
-
With 13+ years of clinical experience as a Sports Kinesiologist and specialist in autoimmune conditions, Amanda has helped hundreds of people resolve symptoms that doctors couldn't explain or treat.
Not sure if this is right for you?
That's exactly what the free Clarity Call is for. 15 minutes to talk through where you're at and whether HEAL is the right next step.

THRIVE addresses the physiological drivers of burnout — not just the mindset. While executive coaches focus on strategy, decisions and behaviour change, we work at the level where burnout actually lives: the nervous system. Because you can't out-strategise a nervous system stuck in overdrive. When your physiology shifts, your leadership shifts with it — sustainably.
-
Most approaches treat pieces in isolation. THRIVE integrates your nervous system, your body, your mindset, and your daily performance patterns simultaneously. When these work together rather than separately, your body finally has the environment it needs to sustain high performance without burning out. Many founders discover the exhaustion they thought was mental was actually somatic — and had never been properly addressed
-
Many founders notice shifts in sleep, energy and clarity within the first few sessions. Significant improvements in resilience, focus and sustainable performance typically emerge by the 2–3 month mark as your nervous system recalibrates. By 6 months, most clients describe a genuinely different relationship with their work, their body and their capacity
-
Absolutely. THRIVE works with whatever your body and your leadership are experiencing right now — chronic stress, burnout, overwhelm, reactive decision-making, the sense that you're operating on borrowed capacity. We address the underlying patterns creating those experiences, regardless of the label
-
No. THRIVE complements the work you're already doing — it doesn't replace it. We work alongside your existing team of advisors and support to address the somatic and physiological aspects of high performance that most other approaches miss. Nervous system regulation is a specialist layer, not a substitute
-
This is exactly why THRIVE is designed around a 6-month journey with flexibility built in. Sessions can be delivered in person in Melbourne or on Zoom, and can be rescheduled when your calendar demands it. We design your program to work with the reality of leading a business — not against it. Your transformation happens at the pace that's right for your life.
