Amanda Tolchard

I am deeply passionate about exploring, healing and expanding in all aspects of the human experience, whether it's pain in the physical body or emotional, mental or spiritual dis-ease in the mind and heart.

As an Intuitive Coach & Energy Healer my speciality is working with the Inner Child, Past Lives,  Ancestral Healing and Grief.  My own spiritual and emotional journey started in my early 20's recovering from addictions and eating disorders,  I remain sober after 28 years and have learned how to love, care for and accept my body, which I previously desperately wanted to change. Understanding these were symptoms of a much deeper rooted 'soul sickness' has brought me to discover many aspects of healing and awakening.  My belief is healing happens from the inside-out and my role as your coach is to guide, support and hold the process for your transformation with compassion, understanding, intuition and love.

I initially worked as a Personal Trainer and Health Coach  whilst also training for half-marathons and triathlons.  After having my children and returning to my training, I was experiencing recurring lower back pain and realised I had been pushing my body too hard and wasn't training with awareness and kindness towards my body's needs. This is what led me to discover the Clinical Pilates Method which was initially developed for physiotherapists to support their clients physical recovery.  Training with the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) enabled me to introduce these methods with my private clients and in group Pilates classes.  I was amazed to see how much my back pain improved and loved being able to share this with my clients, coaching them to remember 'less is more' and to work with their bodies from the inside-out.

I also started practising yoga after my body became tired and injured with all the high energy exercise I had been doing. It was wonderful to feel how much I relaxed and connected to myself on a deeper level.  After completing my Yoga Teacher Training I loved discovering how movement and breath could further improve my emotional and spiritual wellbeing. For me this was the bridge to combining all aspects of personal development; physical, emotional and spiritual and I found great joy in weaving some of this magic into my classes and private sessions.

In total, my experience spans over 25+ years - from Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, Health & Wellbeing Coach, Clinical Pilates teacher and as an Intuitive Coach using the Transformational Healing Process.  All of which allows me to deeply understand my clients and tailor my approach to meet their unique needs with the ultimate goal of helping them to be the best version of themselves and truly love all aspects of who they are.
