Hello, I’m amanda.
Thank you for being here!
Does your health routine need CPR? Is your posture in mega slouching mode? What is holding you back from thriving? We all get stuck in ruts sometimes.
I hear you.
I’ve had two ACL knee surgeries. They were a doozy to recover from, with a heavy dose of patience and determination. Injuries tend to force you in the uncomfortable zone— to the max. But that’s brought me to you! My own experiences and health hurdles have shown me what’s important in health CARE. And that’s quality one-on-one CARE. Because you’re special. You’re unique. I work exclusively with you. I treat world-renown snowboarders, surfers, and skateboarders to broadway performers. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a professional elite athlete, or an olympic medalist.
Whatever your jam— we are in this together!
I’m a doctor of physical therapy, yoga educator, health stylist, and writer. I combine my specialized services to craft your ideal program. Health to me is healing. It’s the core of the word. And healing is a continual journey to thrive in life. I offer a fresh approach to defining what health means to you to navigate your wellness path.
One of my favorite poets and quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson is “The first wealth is health.”
I 100% agree! Did you know the global wellness market is now valued at 4.75 TRILLION? Seriously, we are all a part of this planetary health movement! It is our wealth! That’s where my heart is and I love sharing my knowledge through writing health related articles, publications and spotlight interviews with acclaimed professional athletes and inspirational humans. I assist the sports medical team at World Surf League contests as well as other action sports events. I’m also an instructor at MiraCosta College in the kinesiology department for various courses as well as for the 200- hour and 300- Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher Training programs. A Philadelphia native, now living between New Jersey and California, I’m forever an Eagles fan and in my free time you’ll find me surfing, snowboarding, hiking, or on my yoga mat.
