personality
Amanda grew up in Edmonton as a ball of energy that needed an outlet. She found her passion young, starting with tap, jazz, lyrical, and eventually leaving home at 15 to study at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. She danced in Pittsburgh before becoming a full-time dancer for Ballet Victoria. She danced professionally for 5 years before retiring from an injury that allowed her to discover her next passion in life; physiotherapy. Amanda is an adamant foodie and now spends her time with her husband and equally rambunctious daughter. Amanda loves helping people reach their full potential in their rehabilitation journey.
