Hey, I’m Amanda. Writer, teacher, lover, mother.

Life & Relationship Coach. Yoga Teacher. 

Reinvention is my super power. Awakening and empowering others is my purpose.

If you are someone who wants to get from where you currently are to someplace else, I am for you. 

Because I believe in your transformation even before you know what it looks like.

I believe in the power of your mind.

And I believe that if you are willing to pause, to be with me, to finally face whatever it is you’ve been avoiding, that I can help usher you towards your dream life.

Not a perfect life. Because I smash fairy tales to smithereens.

But a real life.

An uncensored, deep, true, whole and healed expression of you.

Soulful. Switched-on. Sublime. You.

Here are 10 quick things about me:

1. I write. About life, death, love, current affairs, being a woman, motherhood, kids, education, relationships, health, wellness, spirituality.

2. I’m a yoga teacher and own Illuminate Yoga in Sydney’s south-west. I practise yoga to stay sane and I teach it as a way to experience embodiment, mindfulness, presence and personal power. I meditate to connect to the deep, vast, infinite peace and quiet within. It’s here that we are wisest, kindest and strongest.

3. I’m married to a man I adore. What we have overcome and what we are creating is one of my life’s greatest achievements. We love music, food, travel and being naked, preferably in the sun.

4. We have a blended family of three girls & two boys aged 7- 20 representing five nationalities and three religions. Becoming a mum at 21 was my biggest awakening. Our parenting style is high demand / high support. We are raising sovereign beings.

5. I’m a homebirthing advocate & birth doula (not practising). I’ve supported hundreds of women during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

6. I have degrees in journalism and primary education.

7. I’m a Life & Relationship Coach. I help people connect to themselves, their dreams and the people they love so they can feel the magic of being alive.

8. Stuff I’ve overcome includes childhood grief, domestic violence, disordered eating, perinatal anxiety, miscarriage, postnatal depression manifesting as obsessive compulsive intrusive thoughts, OCD, divorce, co-dependency, loving those with addictions as well as my own.

9. I value freedom, family, education, health, healing, truth and connection. I believe in humans, in God, nature, miracles and personal responsibility.

10. Stick around if you don’t mind real talk, if you love life, if you’re a free thinker, big feeler and deep lover who isn’t afraid of going into the dark because you know it means you get to touch the light.

With love,

AV xo
