Meet Amanda
Clinical Yoga Therapist
Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner
500hr Yoga Teacher
Hello! I'm Amanda. I'm a firm believer in our innate ability to embody well-being through whole-person connectivity and restoration. Yoga therapy is a scientific and spiritual method of prioritizing a person as a whole, not just individual symptoms to be treated. The body responds to the environment of the mind and vice versa and through whole-person care, we can curate personalized practices for anyone to become embodied and to feel well, even through tough and trying times in life.
In my work, I infuse neuroscience, somatic therapy, traditional yoga teachings, Thai yoga bodywork and more to hold space for my clients, to listen and hear their needs, and to help them feel healthier and more connected through a myriad of practices such as movement, breath work, reflection, and meditation. I guide my clients to cultivate confidence and embodiment, to release and relax, to give and to receive, and to explore the dynamic flow of life while maintaining a calm center.

More about Thai Yoga Bodywork - This is a delightful experience of relaxation for the body and mind that cultivates an overall sense of well-being. It is a floor-based, fully clothed bodywork session that incorporates elements of Thai massage, restorative yoga, assisted stretching, compression, and energy work. Benefits include increased flexibility, mobility, and relaxation, and a decrease in tension, stress, and pain. It's often referred to as "lazy human's yoga" - if that resonates with you, reach out to book a session!
