I was told I may never walk again. Here's what it taught me.
At 29, an MS attack left me unable to walk, and I was told I had a 50% chance of walking normally again. I had no choice but to stop, and in that stopping, I learned how to bend.
Along the way, I discovered kinesiology, and it changed the direction of my life and career. I've now been in remission for 16 years. Since then, I've built a kinesiology practice over 13 years, co-founded Nourissh, a meal delivery business, and walked through grief.
Every time, the same lesson held: strength isn't resisting. It's bending with deep roots. Today I help leaders and founders build the deep roots that let them bend without breaking.
I Was Told I'd Never Walk Again. This Is What It Taught Me.
At 29, MS stopped me in my tracks. Learning to bend changed everything, and it’s the foundation of how I work with leaders and founders today.

For founders and leaders.
Founders don't burn out from doing too much. They burn out from a nervous system that never gets to rest.
You solve problems all day. It's the job. Doing it well takes optimism, focus, clarity and connection, every single day. When your nervous system has been on high alert for too long, everything takes more effort.
Thrive is Amanda's 1:1 kinesiology and resilience coaching program for leaders and founders, including those living with burnout or autoimmune symptoms. Start with two focused months, or commit to six months to work deeper into how you lead, how you rest, and how you show up for the people you love.
Built on the BAMBOO Method: six pillars to help you build steadier foundations for how you feel, lead and live.
It's complementary support that works alongside your medical care.
