About
Meet Amanda – Awareness Insight Meditation Teacher & Retreat Facilitator
Amanda was introduced to meditation after the birth of her second child. Sleep deprived, starting the return to work and navigating some personal challenges left her feeling depleted and in search for a tangible tool to support her mental wellbeing. Amanda’s search eventually led to learning Awareness Insight Meditation with the guidance of a teacher and a consistent daily practice began. Her mindset began to shift through regular self-observation, she gained better physical and emotional regulation and found a deeper sense of compassion towards herself and others. Moreover these positive transformations had a ripple effect on those closest to her.
​
With a natural interest in human nature and an ever evolving meditation practice, Amanda eventually partook in an extensive 14 month teacher training at The School of Modern Meditation with teacher Claire Robbie. Amanda teaches the Awareness Insight Meditation foundational course to groups, individuals and whilst on retreats, both in Auckland and around New Zealand. She also teaches internationally online.
The perfect remedy for living in this modern, faced paced world.
In early 2023, Inner Insight Retreats took flight, bringing together Amanda’s ten years of global experience in the hospitality and tourism industry and another decade in the wellness field teaching classical pilates from her boutique studio House of Pilates.
