Meet Amanda

Amanda began her career massaging in Brisbane before moving to Sydney in 2001. It was here, working out of a Pilates studio, that she first discovered the incredible impact Pilates has on the body and completed the Comprehensive Polestar Pilates Studio Course.

Through working with the Australian Open Golf tournament, Amanda practiced with the tournament chiropractor and physio for 10 years, gaining insight into the effectiveness and benefit of the combination of regular treatment and exercise, and how injuries can be prevented long term.

This also instigated the journey into more work with the breath and feet - understanding the impact on the rest of the body when not operating at their optimum.

As a snowboarder, rock climber and surfer Amanda understands all too well the need to both respect the body’s limitations and also explore and challenge it’s capabilities!

About AR Movement Therapy

Amanda really knows her stuff! She didn't just treat the symptoms but worked on correcting the underlying movement patterns that were causing the issues. Thanks to her, I am now pain-free and moving better than I have in years. If you're serious about recovery and ready to put in the work, Amanda is the expert you need.

AR Movement Therapy has been a game-changer for me. The focused corrective movement therapy using clinical pilates and massage has helped me recover from my injury and manage my chronic pain effectively

Megan, Woollahra, NSW

I used to injure my back a lot until I started working with Amanda. She corrected my posture, and focused on improving my flexibility, core strength and movement range. She has undoubtedly improved my quality of life.

Cassandra, Kensington, NSW

Struggling with tennis elbow for about three months, I consulted Amanda, who's holistic and evidence-based approach made all the difference. Amanda is truly excellent. She is thoughtful and genuinely cares about her clients, often reaching out between sessions with personalised exercise or health suggestions. Her passion for movement and individualised care has made a significant impact on my well-being.

Nigel, Vaucluse, NSW

Amanda is a pilates instructor in a class of her own: she devises bespoke programs that compliment my physio and have allowed me to keep functioning comfortably despite a dodgy back for almost a decade.
