About Amanda

After many years in a high pressure career I decided to change my lifestyle and wanted to do something that would benefit others in a meaningful way. I selected Pilates as I had been doing classes for some time and found them very beneficial in improving my posture and to de-stress.

 

With my years of corporate training experience I retrained to teach Pilates with the Pilates Foundation.
