A lifelong dancer turned wellness entrepreneur, Amanda has always been driven by a deep passion for movement. With a background in classical ballet, modern, and Latin and ballroom dance, she was naturally drawn to the transformative power of Pilates. After experiencing injuries to her back and shoulder, she turned to Pilates for rehabilitation and quickly realized its ability not just to heal, but to empower. From that moment on, she knew she wanted to guide others through that same transformation.

What began as a way to support her own body evolved into a calling. Amanda immersed herself in Pilates education, earning her certifications and building a practice rooted in thoughtful, intentional movement.

Today, her work spans a wide range of clients - from dancers and athletes to prenatal and postpartum women, as well as individuals navigating injuries, scoliosis, osteoporosis, and beyond. Her approach is inclusive at its core - Amanda welcomes anyBODY and everyBODY to experience the strength, connection, and confidence that Pilates can offer.

Her dedication to holistic wellness has led her to explore and integrate additional modalities including the Alexander Technique, Gyrotonics, Feldenkrais, Body Rolling, and Fascial Stretch Therapy. Inspired by her own journey into motherhood, she also became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, expanding her work beyond movement to support overall well-being.

Now, as a Bergen County resident raising her two children, opening Elevate Norwood is especially meaningful. This studio is a true full-circle moment - bringing the community, care, and elevated experience she built in Hoboken into the place she calls home.
