Amanda – Founder & Head Coach
Amanda’s handstand journey began at age four with Artistic Gymnastics, competing nationally throughout her childhood. Her passion for physical skill and creative movement later led her to Contemporary Dance and ultimately Contemporary Circus — a discipline that blends athleticism with artistry.
In 2017, she earned a Bachelor of Circus Arts from the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in Melbourne, specialising in Hand Balancing. During her studies, she trained handstands daily for three years under elite Russian technique, developing a foundation of precision, strength, and control rarely found in coaching.
Amanda has performed internationally with renowned companies including C!RCA Contemporary Circus and Gravity & Other Myths, and currently directs the multi-award-winning Sound of Circus Australia. A qualified Pilates instructor, she integrates strength and mobility conditioning into her coaching, ensuring safe, sustainable progress for her students.
Today, Amanda brings her world-class expertise to the next generation of circus artists as the Handstand Coach for NICA’s Bachelor program, guiding students with elite-level techniques that have shaped her own professional career.
Through Amble Coaching, Amanda makes specialised handstand training accessible worldwide. Her empathetic, detail-oriented approach empowers students to feel confident, supported, and motivated — embracing mistakes and wobbles as essential steps toward mastery.
