About
Something moved in me.
I’ve spent 25 years learning how to help it
move in you.
Amanda’s story.
She trained in holistic therapies and stress management with a
clear purpose: to build a business around helping people feel
better. For years, her work was about understanding the body
– its patterns, its tensions, its relationship with everything the
mind was carrying.
Then, about 10 years in, something found her.
She wasn’t looking for it. But when she encountered Margaret
Morris Movement she felt its effects in her own body almost
immediately. She qualified, and began sharing it with the
clients she was already working with.
Conscious movement and dance had been part of her life for
years by the time she went on to train in Dance of Awareness and
embodied movement practice — drawn by the same conviction
that had guided her from the beginning: that movement, mood
and holistic wellbeing are inseparable.
25 years of working with people in their bodies has taken her on
quite a journey.
She is not a guru. Not simply an instructor. Not a therapist in the
clinical sense. She is a guide who has made the journey herself
— which means that when a student says “it’s all right for you,”
Amanda can say, without performing it: I have been exactly where
you are. If you could do it already, you wouldn’t be here.
Why this...
Creating a class that everyone can enjoy fills me with joy.
There’s something special about seeing people develop individually while creating
something greater together – it feels like being a conductor, shaping something beautiful.
I love seeing people start to truly express themselves. Encouraging them to move in ways
they haven’t before, gently pushing them out of their comfort zones, making them laugh,
helping them feel good and strong.
After 25 years working with bodies – in stillness and in movement – I’ve learned that
pain rarely stays where it starts. A physical restriction can carry an emotional weight.
An emotional experience can lodge in the body as tension that doesn’t seem to have a
physical cause at all. The work became about both.
And that is why this feels like the right thing to do. It feels natural. It feels necessary.”

The hisotry
Margaret Morris Movement.
Over 100 years of movement.
Margaret Morris was born in London in 1891. From an early age she trained in dance and
the arts — and from an early age she questioned what she was being taught.
She rejected the unnatural positions and rigid conventions of classical training, and set
about creating her own range of movements: ones that worked with the body, not against
it, bringing motion into harmony with health and wellbeing.
She opened her first school in London in 1910. By the 1920s her work had drawn the atten-
tion of the medical community — most significantly Dr Auguste Rollier, the Swiss pioneer
of heliotherapy, who invited her to Leysin in 1926. There the method adapted and deep-
ened, finding new application in rehabilitation, breathing, mobility and balance. Margaret
Morris also developed Danscript — her own system of movement notation — so that what
she had discovered could be passed on precisely and permanently.
She went on to work with artists, physiotherapists, doctors and dancers across Europe.
Her method was recognised not as an alternative to medical care, but as something that
worked alongside it — addressing the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.
Margaret Morris died in 1980, leaving behind a major artistic, educational and therapeutic
legacy. Her method continues to be taught and practised around the world today.
“I give you the basic movements, and you build from there.”
— Margaret Morris
The method Amanda teaches today is that same method – structured, graded, and built
on over a century of refinement. It is not a trend. It is not a fitness programme.
It is a practice with genuine heritage and depth, and for the right people, the beginning of
something they might build a life around.
