Amanda's life....

...sees her living with her husband and growing family of two step-children, five year old daughter and baby son, on the coast to the east of Edinburgh.

An outdoor lover, she needs no excuse to and head to the hills on foot or mountain bike and enjoys Ashtanga yoga since her days studying it over in India.

A recent convert to backcountry ski touring she is a regular visitor to the Alps over winter.

But certainly not flawless...

...always one to believe in living a life, rather than obsessing about it, she tailors her work to achieve for quick results and balanced long-term advice. In other words, have your chocolate cake and eat it!

Amanda's C.V. stretches from the sublime to the ridiculous. Her media career was kick started reading the TV news in Aspen, a ski bunny sideline that stayed the course.
