Amanda was born and raised in Encinitas Ca, bought the house I was born and raised in from my parents. Married my high school sweetheart, we met at 16 in Washington DC when we were Pages for Congress. Married in 2000 and had our first of 4 children in 2009, our last baby was born 2014. I was a stay at home mom and it absolutely filled my heart and soul, and it was everything I needed.
Fast forward 5 years from my last baby’s birth and knew I needed to find something not only for my physical health, but mental health as well. Knowing that my last baby would be starting kindergarten gave me some serious feelings.
I walked into SBE June 2019, and was hooked. I’d done all the other workouts, Zumba, spin, step… nothing filled my heart, soul or gave me the workout and change in my body I was looking for. I took one barre class at SBE and literally never looked back. I went everyday. I completed my centurion status in 112 days. I was hooked
I knew pretty quickly in taking class that I would also love to teach. Fast forward to January 2020 and I auditioned and went into training.
I love taking class just as much as I love teaching. You’ll see me in the studio often, either teaching or taking. If you love a good themed class there’s a good chance I’ve got one planned for you.
There are two things I’m passionate about in life, first my family, second my Tribe at SBE and giving and getting the best workout ever.
- Beverage of choice: Any wine or champagne/prosecco

- Sunrise or Sunset: Sunrise girl through and through

- Describe your teaching style in one word: Passionate
