Amanda – Founder & Head Coach

Amanda’s journey with handstands began at the age of 4 when she started Artistic Gymnastics, training and competing at a national level throughout her childhood. Her love for physical skill and creative movement later led her into Contemporary Dance and, eventually, the world of Contemporary Circus — where she found the perfect blend of athleticism and artistry.

In 2017, Amanda earned a Bachelor of Circus Arts from the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, specialising in Hand Balancing. During her studies, she trained handstands daily for three years under elite-level Russian technique, building a foundation of precision, strength, and control that few coaches can match.

Amanda has toured the world as a professional acrobat, performing with internationally renowned Contemporary Circus companies such as C!RCA Contemporary Circus and Gravity & Other Myths, and now serves as Director of the multi-award-winning Sound of Circus Australia. Her experience at the highest levels of performance gives her students access to elite-level handstand training techniques, previously reserved for professional acrobats.

Amanda is also a qualified Pilates instructor, using strength and mobility conditioning to ensure her own longevity in training — and to teach her students how to train safely, prevent injury, and progress sustainably.

Through Amble Coaching, Amanda has created a platform to make specialised handstand training accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Her gentle, empathetic approach ensures students feel confident, empowered, and supported, even through mistakes and wobbles — because she knows that mastery is built one step at a time.

If you’re ready to take your handstand practice to the next level with world-class, personalised coaching, Amanda is the guide you’ve been looking for.
