Dr. Amanda Stanec was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada where she attended and played soccer for St. Francis Xavier University. Through these years, she developed a strong work ethic to accompany her active lifestyle, physical activities, and positive outlook on life.
Upon moving to the US, she attended Virginia Commonwealth University where she attained a Masters of Science with an emphasis in Physical Education and Sport Psychology. Completely devoted to her field, she enrolled in a PhD program in Kinesiology within the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia where she was recognized as the outstanding doctoral student in her graduating year (2006). Since that time Amanda has also become a certified power vinyasa yoga teacher in Colorado, and a certified holistic health coach.
