COACHING STYLE

When I'm not at work
Away from work Amanda loves all things 'water-related'. When time allows Amanda will gravitate towards the nearest coast, river or lake, knowing this will lift her spirits and put a smile on her face. Amanda believes in remembering the simple pleasures that made you happy from a young age and in being sure to fit these into today's life to boost emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Amanda has a busy family life but makes time to be near the water whenever she can.
