Welcome to 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. Which chapter are you exploring right now?

Who Has the Harder Job: The Runner or the Support Crew?

September 21, 2026 By amanda

Behind many successful runners are people who willingly sacrifice their own comfort so someone else can pursue a goal. I have been fortunate enough to have some remarkable support teams around me over the years.

Just Breathe | My Aalto Community Experience

September 11, 2026 By amanda

The wellness space is vast. If you are willing to explore what is being promoted as beneficial for the human body, then by all means, do so. Whether it becomes a long-term ritual is another question entirely.

(Trying to) Age Gracefully

August 28, 2026 By amanda

I’m at ease with ageing; it’s both a privilege and a curse. It took me many years of looking in the mirror to find this ease with what is fundamentally inevitable; to move with ageing as opposed to against it. To resist is like resisting a new day dawning; despite your deepest wishes and desires its going to happen regardless.

Friends recently sent me photos from their holidays. Not because they thought I’d be impressed by where they were, but because something about the view reminded them of me. 

A winding trail, a quiet beach, a mountain in the distance. Whatever it is, those messages always make me smile. 

I’ve realised it’s less about sharing the destination and more about saying, you’d love this place. It’s a reminder that people pay attention to the things that light you up, the places you’d linger, the views that would make you stop and breathe it in. 

To be thought of in a place you’ve never stood, by someone who knows you well enough to imagine you there. 

What a gift that is.

Let go of what you cannot control 
Breathe through what cannot be changed 
Trust yourself through what is yet to make sense 

This is a mantra for life. Really understanding it changes your relationship with life. 

Welcome to your Planted Life.

S H O W  Y O U R  C O L O U R S 

Time to show your colours this weekend, wear the scarf, pull out the guernsey, paint the face or let your food do the talking. 

The menu can be more than pies, hotdogs and burgers as you sit down for a pre game feast. 

And if football isn’t your thing, discover the culinary delights of the Adelaide Hills by visiting @verte.kitchen 

Eat local. Support local. Eat planted. 

And remember….its all fun and games until the siren goes! 😉

After completing the @citybayfunrun and watching our crew stress about traffic, parking and seeing us cross the finish line it got me thinking...who has the harder task when it comes to races, the runners or the support crew?
