Who is Amanda Russo?
Amanda Russo, The Breathing Goddess, is a Breathwork Detox facilitator, transformative mindset coach, and host of the podcast “Manders Mindset.” Her study of mindset and empowerment began by working with children in group homes and at daycares. She then worked in family law and helped people to de-escalate the challenging circumstances and emotions of divorce. She overcame her weight and health challenges during this time through strength training, meditation, yoga, reiki, and plant medicine. She works with moms and men. Moms who feel like they are running on fumes want to become more attuned to their bodies, breath, and needs. Men who are stressed wish to understand their mind, body, and the power of their breath. Amanda brings a fun, friendly, and empowering energy to her sessions but can also crack the whip. After just a few sessions, her clients experience more calmness, clarity, and level-headedness, and they glow them. They learn to love their bodies and effectively cope with emotions. They become peaceful, and all their relationships benefit. They become the best version of themselves. She lives in Dartmouth, MA, and holds sessions virtually and in person in Swansea, MA. She travels to New England, holds breathwork events at yoga studios, and runs a group program called “Breath & Flex, " combining Breathwork Detox with circuit training fitness classes. She also runs a program for couples who want to create more love and harmony within themselves and their relationship. Outside work, she enjoys lifting, walking, movement, yoga, listening to podcasts, animals, and being in nature.
