Hi, I’m Amanda, a well-established freelance composer, performer, piano teacher and hypnotherapist. In music my special areas of interest are in contemporary classical and world music genres. In music my special areas of interest are in contemporary classical and world music genres. My musical career led me into an exploration of the power of the unconscious mind in creativity, performance and teaching. I’m an active performer, and a composer with three CD releases. Many of the works from my large catalogue of scored compositions are published through Wirripang Pty Ltd.

 
Seductive, with a Spanish-tinge and a lot of grit.

As a teacher I have extensive experience spanning over four decades, and a long record of satisfied, successful students. My objectives are to awaken creativity, foster spontaneity and deepen artistry within all my students. My piano teaching practices at Penrith Conservatorium and my private studio in Katoomba, are thriving hives of creativity and learning activity.

My hypnotherapy practice - Mandala Hypnotherapy & NLP Coaching (est. 2020) - brings deep and lasting transformation to other musicians, as well as ordinary people with problems such as anxiety, insomnia, unhealthy habits and stress related ailments.

I’m also a dedicated and certified practitioner of BodyMinded - the Alexander Technique, which underpins every area in my music making, NLP coaching and hypnotherapy. The approach fosters healthy psycho-physical habits which optimises movement in cooperation with human design. Simultaneously, it deepens self-awareness in all areas of life.
