The Bend Like Bamboo
Resilience Courses.
When we are tired, stressed, and anxious we become stuck. We become stuck in our heads overthinking the past and overanalysing the future, living on autopilot. This impacts our ability to be at our best, at home, at work, and within our relationships.
It is a mindset. And when you are in the middle of this type of stress response you may think there is no way out. The truth is, right now you have no idea how adaptable you are.
Discover your ability and learn how to master your mindset and re-imagine your future possibility with my results-driven online courses.
Why this program?
After my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at age 24 and overcoming a left-hand side body paralysis at age 29, I discovered that stress impacts our ability to repair and heal.
Helping others now I discovered that a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters: our body’s ability to repair, adapt and perform.
Drawing from my roles as a CEO, business owner, a practitioner and also the patient, I offer a unique perspective rooted in personal experience.
My approach blends practical strategies with compassionate support, empowering you and your team towards lasting positive change with the art of bending like bamboo.
At Bend Like Bamboo, I help individuals overcome stress and limiting beliefs to optimise healing, reducing symptoms from Autoimmune Disease.
As a Coach, Author and keynote speaker, I help individuals overcome stress and burnout, uncovering blind spots to achieve their personal and professional goals. It is my passion to help individuals re-imagine possibility in their minds, bodies and lives.
My intention for the online course is to empower you at your own pace, to overcome any setback that are you faced with, to overcome redundant habits, patterns, and behaviours and shift from a closed mindset into a growth one.
Come on this journey with me and give yourself the best environment to optimise repair, happiness, and possibility.
6 Pillars | The Bend Like Bamboo Method.
Before we grow, we root. This introduction to the Bend Like Bamboo Method sets the foundation — exploring the science and the art of resilience, and what it truly means to bend under pressure without breaking.
Through the introduction, you'll explore:
Why self-belief is the bedrock of resilience — and how to start building it
The bamboo philosophy — how flexibility, not rigidity, is the key to navigating change
The principles of a growth mindset and how to apply them in everyday life
The shift from surviving to thriving — and what becomes possible on the other side
Movement is medicine — and the Happy Body program is designed to make it accessible, restorative and deeply effective. Using functional stretches and mindful exercises, Amanda guides you through a daily practice that shifts your physiology, supports emotional release and creates the conditions for genuine repair.
In this program, you'll learn:
A simple, restorative daily mind-body workout
How movement directly impacts your mental health and emotional regulation
How to use movement to detoxify, destress and restore balance
The difference between strength-based and restorative movement — and how to use both strategically
The food you eat is in constant conversation with your cells, your mood and your energy. When you nourish your body intentionally, you activate your natural capacity to repair, rebalance and thrive — from the inside out.
In this program, you'll learn:
How to approach every meal as an opportunity to renew and restore
The foods that actively support your body's repair and healing pathways
How to nourish yourself on a cellular level for lasting energy and resilience
How to bring it all to life with over 625 wellness recipes designed to delight and nourish
Your mindset shapes everything — your body's ability to repair, your emotional resilience, and how connected you feel to yourself and others. In Happy Mind, Amanda explores how awareness and flexibility of thought can quietly transform the way you experience stress, change and challenge.
Through Happy Mind, you'll explore:
The powerful connection between your mind and body — and why it matters more than you think
Your brain's remarkable ability to rewire, adapt and grow at any age
How to navigate change and find flexibility when life's storms arrive
How to lead, perform and show up through setbacks without losing yourself in the process
Connection is one of the most profound gifts we can offer ourselves. When we feel truly connected — to our own inner world and to those around us — we create the conditions our nervous system needs to switch off the stress response, restore calm and open up to growth, creativity and repair.
Through Connection, you'll learn:
The transformative power of meditation and how a consistent practice changes everything
How to quieten mental noise and create genuine stillness within
How to use visualisation as a tool to consciously shape the life you want to create
How to deepen your connection to yourself and nurture the relationships that matter most
Journaling is one of the simplest and most transformative practices you can build into your day. Through morning and evening rituals, you'll learn to set clear intentions, close the mental tabs that keep you stuck, and gently release the old stories and limiting beliefs that have been quietly running in the background — making space for the life you actually want to create.
Through the Journal module, you'll become empowered to:
Identify and dissolve the blind spots and stress patterns keeping you stuck
Rewire your mindset to be more positive, resilient and solution-focused
Harness the power of gratitude and intention to consciously create your life
