She is a well-respected author and regularly contributes to national titles and is a member of the Guild of Health Writers.

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.

Always one to tread her own path, she swapped the screens for Ashram living in the Himalayas, studying Ayurvedic Medicine with a local doctor and studying yoga.

She has also had a stint in Mexico as an eco-journalist (a fluent Spanish speaker) and has a degree in Communications. She is a qualified Nutritional Therapist registered with the British Association (BANT) and studied under Dr Lawrence Plaskett.
