Amanda Durham

Diploma Clinical Pilates, Cert 1V Pilates, Cert 1V Fitness, Cert 1V Allied Health Assistance, I was a registered Nurse for some 35 years when I took a big side step into exercise. I began teaching Pilates about 14 years ago and love seeing exercise transform people. My initial certification was with STOTT Pilates. Inspired by the legacy of Joseph Pilates, who was able to observe people and create a movement to give energy, health and vitality - I have a passion to facilitate this in the studio. When people get stronger, and do full movements, they grow in resilience, fearless movement, and gain courage. Most recently I have studied through Breathe Education: all Australian, nationally accredited Pilates courses, based on the current science and data and applied to the whole body exercise of Pilates.

Bachelor Nursing, Graduate Certificate Paediatrics, Cert 4 Training and Assessment,

Cert 4 Pilates -

For the past 30+ years I have worked in many different areas of Nursing such as Adults ICU, Surgical, Paediatrics, Community and teaching nursing students at both Diploma and Bachelor level.

I was living in Broome, WA when I first discovered Pilates. Due to a sporting injury, my physio had recommended I try Pilates for rehab. That was 10years ago now and Pilates has been a part of my life since.

Health has always been a passion for me and working as a Pilates instructor is an extension of this. I get great enjoyment facilitating clients to reach their movement goals as well as watching clients grow in both strength and confidence.
