Introducing my latest Inspiring Sister – the beautiful Amanda Rootsey.
Every day Amanda is living her passion as an eco-model, gentle-living coach, writer & passionate educator – a far cry from her past life as a jet-setting fashion model for the likes of Salvatore Ferragamo, Myer, Alex Perry and Cartier.
It was after a 2-year battle with cancer, that Amanda swapped a demanding model lifestyle for the beautiful Sunshine Coast on the East Coast of Australia. Being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma changed her perspective on life and inspired her to go vegan, start meditating, enjoy each moment and encourage others to find their balance and joy in life. She blogs about simple living, natural beauty, wellness, eco-fashion & more over at her blog – amandarootsey.com.au.
Amanda presents a fresh and inspiring take on personal development training through her soul centred business – Shine From Within. She places a strong emphasis on self-love, compassion for others and healthy living. Her zest for life and positive, yet calming attitude is infectious and nothing gives her greater pleasure than to see her students SHINE bright & realize their full potential.
Still modelling, she now works exclusively with eco-friendly and ethical brands who share her values, often with more of an Ambassadorship focus.
