Treatment Areas of Interest Amanda has a background in aerial arts performance where an injury could mean lost work or have other serious consequences. Pilates became a daily practice of focus and embodied connection that prolonged her career.
Empowering others through purposeful movement brings her joy, and she is grateful to have learned from a diverse range of individual bodies over the years. Her latest obsession is the spine and how all biomechanics seem to lead back to this intricate central structure.
