My Story - Your Story
Let's start the Journey
Welcome to Anchor to Life! I'm Amanda Curd, and I'm thrilled to embark on a transformative journey with you through the power of Pilates and Nutrition.
I commit to utilizing Pilates alongside my two decades of experience as a physical therapist, serving as a steadfast anchor to empower you in navigating life with confidence and grace. Whether it's ascending steps, conquering mountains, embracing time with your grandchildren, enjoying a round of golf, or rediscovering your passions, together we'll pave the path to your goals. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Leveraging my Food and Nutrition enables me to assess your requirements and tailor food as fuel for your desired activities. Tired of battling with your food choices? Let's shift the narrative by emphasizing how food can energize both your body and your pursuits. Through my guidance, clients establish a robust foundation of strength and balance, both in physical movement and nutrition, leading to enhanced quality of life.
​
I believe in a world where everyone is 85-90 and still going strong, playing golf, hiking, enjoying the most out of life because their body hasn't failed them, because they took the steps to prevent it along the way. I want my clients to exude confidence in their bodies because they know the power of what their body can do with the power of their mind and determination.
​
My clients establish a solid groundwork of strength and balance in both movement and nutrition, resulting in an enriched quality of life. Discovering the equilibrium between strength and nutrition awaits you through our collaboration at Anchor Pilates and Nutrition. I aspire for you to experience this transformation, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing your progress! Get ready to embrace a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant version of yourself at Anchor to Life.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a holistic methodology that emphasizes the coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this approach incorporates various equipment such as the reformer, Cadillac, chair, and barrels, commonly found in Pilates studios today. Joseph Pilates designed this system of exercises with the intention of developing the body uniformly, correcting poor posture, restoring physical vitality, invigorating the mind, and elevating the spirit, as mentioned in his book "Pilates: Return to Life Through Contrology."
​
Throughout Pilates exercises, six principles are employed: Breath, Concentration, Centering, Control, Precision, and Flow. At Anchor to Life, we integrate these principles to target strength, posture, and balance, enabling you to navigate through life with confidence and ease.

My journey!
"I have worked with Amanda for over a year and she has amazing energy, knowledge of body movement, and insight as to how to motivate her clients. Proficient in Pilates and also a trained PT, she has helped me with balance, mobility, and flexibility. She is the best Pilates teacher that I have had and I am married to a fellow Pilates instructor, who recommended her in the first place."

Amanda, my Pilates teacher, is an exceptional person, very professional and knows how to explain the exercises in detail. During the lesson she is always very kind, attentive to what I do and always ready to correct me when the exercise is not done correctly. I really like to do Pilates with her .

I have had the pleasure of being under the guidance of Amanda for more then 3 months now , and I can confidently say that she is nothing short of exceptional. As someone who has struggled with shoulder issues, finding a fitness regimen that not only addresses my concerns but also aids in strengthening has been a challenge. However, with Amanda, I've not only found a solution but also experienced remarkable progress. Her depth of knowledge in Pilates is evident, and she approaches each session with a tailored plan that suits my specific needs and goals. What sets her apart is her keen attention to detail and her ability to adapt exercises to accommodate any limitations or challenges. With her guidance, I never feel overwhelmed or pushed beyond my capabilities, yet I always leave feeling challenged and accomplished.
