Hi, cool cat, I'm Amy.

I'm here to uplift and inspire you - to move, think and live freely, sprinkling the fun wherever I go, in London & beyond.

If you're looking for an outgoing MC who brings authenticity and heart, or a keynote speaker who really "edutains", you're in the right place.

By day, I teach yoga & movement and help people overcome their health, pain & relationship stress through keynote speeches and 1-2-1 coaching.

And by night... I bring it all together performing as a compere and circus artist.

Whether you want to escape your miserable existence, understand it and yourself better, or tackle it head on, all while having a laugh, I've got you covered.

Book me to host your show or event, deliver mind-expanding keynote talks to inspire, or directly coach you through your health & relationship stress.

Let Me Entertain You

KEYNOTE TALKS & COACHING

Transformation For Mind and Body

Relationships, mind-body health, overcoming adversity and creating a life you don't need to escape from are where my expertise lie.

I offer keynote speeches, workshops and coaching to help people:

Change how they see challenges and turn them into opportunities
overcome relationship stress & increase connection
take the emotional strain out of pain & illness, and tap into the body's innate ability to heal

It might sound impossible now but wait 'til you hear me talk about it. Or head to my blog and give yourself a head start.

Drawing on my murky past as an osteopath, life coach and yoga teacher, and personal challenges from losing my sister, long term illness, relationship dramas, feeling stuck and being too afraid to pursue my dream, I'm all about reframing challenges, transforming stress and turning shit to gold. It's alchemy, but not as you know it.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Sally Richardson

"Amy's talk was truly eye-opening—she reframed challenges in a way that was both inspiring and practical, and fun to listen to!"

Jade Francis, Channing School

"A real edutainer!"

Georgia D.C

"The grief process genuinely helped, I feel a lot of relief, relief that I can stop feeling the pain and it's ok. It's not disrespectful and he'd probably want me to do exactly this."

Dreading Christmas? Part 1

Dreading Christmas - Part 2: Loneliness.

From Osteopathy to Epiphany: Embracing Pain, Passion, and Purpose

If it wasn’t already obvious, movement is the thing I love most in the world.
Getting lost in the flow [state] is sublime, and for me, it happens through continuous, smooth and fluid movement, and having to be hyper focused on what I’m doing when performing a big skill. The mind goes quiet as the body takes over. Free to feel, to move, to express.

When I teach movement (which we might call yoga) I endeavour to facilitate this experience in my students. I provide the framework and you take it from there. Rules are likely to be broken. I forget my sequencing all the time - usually I’m making it up as I go along, because I’m feeding off the feel of the room. Constantly assessing how much to challenge my students in this moment and hoping it works out.

Call it shoddy, or slapdash or lazy, that’s fine by me. It’s all true😉.

If you love to move, to flow, to feel, to be challenged I dare you to try my classes:

Dynamic flow Fridays 12.30-1.30 & Saturdays 9am @thelifecentre Notting Hill
Yin flow Sundays 6-7pm @yogariselondon Queens Park

Not this week though, as I’m in Bali. Back Friday 2nd.

This is a snippet of a 25 minute improv - music on, no thinking, just moving. It was fun.

Coming to a stage near you this April with a shiny new act and everything!

When you’re minding your own business doing handstand practice and the itchy bites start itchin’.

What am I going to wear to host an awards ceremony this weekend?

Vote for your fave! I’ll be wearing 2 - which ones???

Uh oh, insta only allows 4 options in the poll. Drop a ‘5’ in the comments if you think it should be the last one.

We can’t control anything outside of ourselves, like the weather, other people’s actions, what happens in other countries and things we hear about on the news.

But we CAN change our perceptions of them, and how we respond and act in accordance to them.

We often allow ourselves to get swept up & worked up about things we have no influence over, which can make us unnecessarily stressed. But you can bring yourself greater peace of mind by training your mind to let go of things that you cannot control, or plan for the worst possible outcome so that if the shit hits the fan you’re ready for it, and change how you see the problems.

Comparisonitis is real. You make yourself feel shit about your own life when you compare it to other people’s. But their lives are full of problems too. No one has a problem-free life.

The more you open your eyes to the problems other people have in their so-called wonderful existence, the more you realise that they don’t have it better than you and that you’d much rather have your own problems than theirs. There’s no getting away from problems, just encountering different ones. Hows that for a bit of optimism in cold, dark January?😆

Dance of The Sugar Bum Fairy. SOUND ON!
Whatever you do today, do it with a little fairy dust.

Heaven forbid, whatever annoys us about other people is a reflection of something we dislike or disown in ourselves. Ouch, that’s an uncomfortable idea.

The Holidays are the perfect storm for potential irritation and triggers.

And triggers are phenomenal teachers. As fun as it is to get wound up and lash out at people, we can instead use triggers as an opportunity to resolve old wounds, confront our bullshit and go forth and multiply more calm and fulfilling life experiences.

Feeling good is nice n’ everything but there’s nothing like feeling so shit that you have no choice but to turn your life around.

Do I still teach yoga? Yep! (You know what they say - don’t give up the day job!)

You can join any of these wonderful classes where we move seamlessly and fluidly, flow like water.

NB - Equinox classes are members only.

And I still do life coaching too if you need help navigating difficult relationships, coming to terms with a health problem or feel lost. DM me if that’s you.

Sunday 6th October 12-1pm.
I’m delighted to be sharing The Way of The Growth Mindset - what it is, why it’s useful, what happens if you don’t have one, and most importantly how to cultivate one.

If you keep encountering the same difficulties or have people, memories or circumstances you wish were different, this could make a huge difference.

It’s part of a full weekend of incredible speakers delivering talks, workshops & coaching sessions on all things personal development.

Head to @exhalehub for booking info.

The circus needs a ringmaster? Say no more…

The evolution of a jacket. 7,438 hours condensed into 38 seconds.

What you don’t see: the hours spent on Pinterest, Etsy, Amazon, overthinking, traipsing fabric shops to match the jacket, the cutting, re-cutting, more re-cutting, stitching, unstitching, attendance at the School of YouTube, phone calls to mother and more overthinking.

All week, every spare minute was spent on this. I was going to bed at midnight, waking up (unintentionally) at 5.30 thinking about it and what I was going to say at The Show, in the ‘workshop’ at 6.

You could say I take my role as RingMistress a little too seriously…

There’s only one thing in my flying trapeze that has improvised this summer, and it’s my returns from catcher to platform. I have made a thoroughly conscious effort every catch to listen to instructions, keep my knees straight and legs together (my mother would be so proud😉).

So while some tricks remain frustratingly crap (I’m talking about you, Layout), progress has been in other aspects of my flying. And that’s how things go in life as well - when one area of life seems like it’s doing badly, it often makes us overlook the areas that are going well, which makes us unduly miserable.

So whenever you feel like you’re experiencing a setback, a) see how you can milk it and turn it into an epic opportunity and b) look for the areas of your life that ARE progressing. You might need to be creative and think beyond the obvious. But when you do, you see the higher order in it all and feel a sense of knowing that everything is perfect as it is.

Massive thanks to the legends who caught me and threw me so high I could have touched the sky @alitan11 @corentinslz @pablolandeta , the lovely people who so expertly dropped return bars and @gorillacircus_fts for having 2 rigs within easy reach of my house 😉.

The Zombie Lift. Last attempted in 2014.
Shocked that I managed it first time, but I had given myself a solid warm up… and ten years to get stronger.

If there’s something you haven’t tried for a while, maybe give it a go and see what happens….

This move is going to be part of my next act, which I’m creating for a Halloween special show with @shenaniganscabaretuk on 29th October. Will I be able to pike press by then? We’ll have to wait and seeee!

If anyone has any tips, please SEND HELP!

If you’re not having fun, what the hell are you doing?

Some well timed shots by @felixdlcvisuals from last week’s show with @eyefullcabaret

What a treat.

**ANNOUNCEMENT**
Some of you already know, (and most of you won’t care) that, after 10 years I have decided to leave Virgin Active.

It has been a phenomenal place to grow, learn and develop, and the one class I refused to give up after lockdown despite the long travel and low pay, because of YOU, the wonderful people who showed up every week and put up with my madness, bad jokes and forgetting my sequences.

You have been an absolute joy and pleasure to teach, get to know and see progress. You have fed my soul and allowed me to flourish and be myself. That is priceless. THAAAAAAANNNK YOUUUUU.

Now the time has come to say goodbye, and this Sunday will be my last class. So come along for one last hurrah. It will of course be epic.

What’s next? Stay tuned…

I love it when I’m doing handstand practice and Spotify throws out some juicy choons. Music makes such a difference to life, right?

The exit move at the end I tried at least 18 times before I got it semi right. Fails might go in my stories.

And tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be….
RINGMISTRESS BARBIE!!

Once again, an absolute honour, privilege and pleasure to present a @gorillacircus_fts flying trapeze show. THANK YOUUUUU!

We went big for this one with a Barbie theme, and since I love circuses and Barbie, I went all out on my costume. I started on Wednesday and finished at 1am last night. (Only to be woken by a shouty cat at 6.30😤)

The show was great, with some great tricks and a fantastic audience!

Total hours spent making costume: 34 (I have all the gear and absolutely no idea).

As such, I have every intention of using this costume again, so if you have an event/party/show that requires a pink ringmistress, glide into my DMs…

(Other costumes are available).

We are gathered here today to observe a selection of my failed flying trapeze catches this summer.
Except there’s NO FAILURE, there’s ONLY FEEDBACK.

Every miss, mishap and misdemeanour gives us something new to learn, a new way to adapt, build resilience, know we’re ok if things don’t go to plan, reorganise, reconfigure or even reconsider our life choices. It’s often only through failure that we learn. (Don’t believe me? Ask @matthewsyedauthor who wrote a book all about it).

Massive thanks to the poor souls who dangled before me this summer and endeavoured to catch some dodgy tricks. And especially thank you to the incredibly talented people on lines for keeping me & my mad friends alive and our spines in 33 pieces. Pulling lines is an underrated skill and I appreciate you enormously.

So remember: NO FAILURE, ONLY FEEDBACK.

And also remember the show we’re doing tomorrow- Sunday 18th Aug 5.30pm Regents Park Outer Circle. I’m hosting. People will probably get caught. See you there!

@gorillacircus_fts @alitan11 @corentinslz @pablolandeta @kimmelanson10 @pedro_pelanda @srshanksalot

Edinburgh Fringe: 4 days, 23 shows watched, and a selection of outfits.
Which is your favourite?

No sooner did I step off a cruise ship than I jump straight into a show, still swaying, just trying to stay upright at @cabaret_volt_air produced by the gorgeous @scarlettwhispersburlesque

Thoroughly enjoyable night with a stellar cast. An honour to be part of it! Thank you!!!

For anyone who’s feeling a bit rubbish at the moment…
Remember that someone is working as a lifeguard at the Olympics (not my joke). And channel that feeling to help you do something truly meaningful to YOU because that is where you will thrive, in your own form.

Snippets of yoga on the ship.

In case you missed it, I’ve just spent 2 weeks on a cruise ship performing with a magician. It was awesome.

On the ship I took the opportunity for a bit of yoga improv - no plan, no thinking, just me & some music, in the zone, feeling intuitively what to do next.

Some of this might appear in a class near you soon…

Speaking of which, NEW CLASSES start soon:
*Tuesdays 6.30-7.30pm vinyasa @yogariselondon *
Fridays 12.30-1.30pm vinyasa @thelifecentre
Sundays 10-11am dynamic @ Virgin Active Clapham
Sundays 7-8.15pm yin @yogariselondon

One wrong move and my tits go flying. I haven’t felt so exposed since that time I got caught selling nuclear arms to Iran.

Getting a feel for my sea arms.
Actually not bad… especially considering we’re not moving😉

In case you missed my stories - I’m on a cruise ship to perform with a magician!

And talk about mind-body madness - 5 mins after embarking, I started to feel like I was swaying, as if on a boat… except the ship was perfectly still; not even bobbing a millimetre. Just an example of how our perceptions can influence sensations in the body. Mad, right?

That doesn’t mean we can’t change the things we don’t like, but we cause our own suffering when we hold onto the idea that things (or people) should be different and hope they’ll change.

But we can reduce our suffering when we look for the lessons and benefits to us of things being the way they are. And this can take different forms. For example, I recently decided to walk away from something that has become more of a burden than a joy and push myself out of my comfort zone and pursue something bigger (which will come with its own problems and challenges of course - more details in due course).

Embracing its shitness prompted me to make the change. But when there are things we can’t change (like someone else’s behaviour) our best bet is to see how they’re helping us to do/be/have more of what is fulfilling for us, even if at first that seems impossible.

Happy Monday!😉
