Amanda’s story.

As a Sports Kinesiologist and resilience trainer, Amanda believes through flexibility we can build and strengthen our resilience.

At the age of 24, Amanda was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A debilitating incurable disease that renders its sufferers prone to paralysis, nerve damage, and in some cases blindness.

Paralysed down the entire left-hand side of her body, unable to wash, walk or feed herself, Amanda was given only a 50% chance of ever walking again.

With no choice but to succeed, Amanda channeled her energy into a positive force. With a mountain of determination and a balanced approach to adopting eastern and western medicines, Amanda managed to walk & run again.

At age 29, Amanda discovered that a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters: our body’s ability to repair, how happy and resilient we are, and how connected we feel.

MS Ambassador.

As an MS Ambassador for MS Plus, Amanda’s volunteer role is to raise awareness about MS in the community and simply educate, motivate and advocate.

Amanda hope’s to make a difference in people’s lives and help others deal with managing the symptoms of MS.

She speaks at various events with the hope to inspire people with my story of loss and triumph, by spreading my message that living a happier healthy life is possible and creates magic in your life.

Since her recovery, bringing together informed thinking from the fields of neuroscience, positive psychology, the power of movement, nutrition & connection to create a portfolio of products and services that promote repair & performance through mindfulness and the art of bending like bamboo.

Amanda Campbell’s programs are designed to maximise performance and repair.
