Hey there! Nice to meet you.

I’m Amanda.
I am a mother.
I am a trainer.
I am a coach who listens

to more than muscle.

I created MOVE Like a Mother because strength isn’t one-size-fits-all—and motherhood is never a setback.

I’ve spent years in movement spaces—studying, teaching, lifting, learning.
Always asking: What do women really need to feel strong again?

Not just strong for the stroller, the stairs, or the never-ending laundry—
But strong in themselves.
In their breath.
In their boundaries.
In their next chapter.

That’s why I’m here. To offer you a space where movement feels like you—where it builds, restores, and honors the whole woman you are. A space to move unapologetically, forward.

Why Work with Me?

I break rules, not science. I combine Pilates, strength & breath work for women whose core and pelvic floor need more than cookie cutter classes. I train the mind and the body. I have a unique ability to help your brain reconnect with muscles that have been forgotten or left offline. Whether it’s waking up a dormant core or breaking through compensation patterns, I’ll help you rebuild strength where it matters most—without compromise.

I care about you. Your progress, your challenges, your next chapter.

I’m deeply invested in getting you the results

you deserve.

When we work together, you’re learning how to move with purpose, how to listen to your body, and how to truly reclaim your power. The transformation you experience is a shift in how you feel, how you show up, and how you take control of your own strength.

Let’s move forward together—boldly, unapologetically, and with results you can feel.
