Planted Life

I’m Amanda, and welcome to my Planted Life — a space shaped by my love of movement, plant-based food, nature and the beautiful, messy experience of being human.

I believe moving through nature can be about so much more than moving the body; it can create space to listen, notice, breathe and develop an inner awareness that shapes who we are and who we wish to become.

Through my work, I offer personalised run coaching and meditation classes, creating opportunities to explore both sensing and feeling becoming more aware of the body, the breath, the mind and the world around us.

Life comes in chapters, and while some may close unexpectedly or before we are ready, each one leaves something behind a lesson, a memory, a strength, a new perspective that becomes part of the story still waiting to unfold.

I’m here to embrace the chapters, stay curious, keep moving, find nourishment in the everyday and become a little more grounded and accepting along the way.

Come join me on this Planted Life.
