Empowering adults 55+ across Northeast Ohio to stay active, confident on their feet, and independent through 1-on-1 in-home coaching, neighborhood pods, and local community classes.

B.S. in Human Development & Family Studies (Kent State) • NASM Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) & Senior Fitness Specialist (NASM-SFS) • Member, Ohio Injury Prevention Partnership (OIPP)
Amanda founded The Release Ritual with a passionate conviction that every aging adult deserves to stay active, strong, and moving with confidence. Having navigated Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) since her early twenties, Amanda knows firsthand how intentional, intelligent movement unlocks joint freedom and preserves lifelong energy. She built The Release Ritual for relatively healthy aging adults who want to stay that way—whether you want to build the strength to get down on the floor and back up with ease, or prefer Seated and Chair-Supported options.
Based in Stow, Ohio, Amanda leads 1-on-1 in-home coaching, neighborhood pods, and local community classes across Summit, Cuyahoga, Portage, and Medina counties.

Our 3 Core Movement Principles
Every Release Ritual session is built around three principles designed to keep active adults moving comfortably, building real strength, and enjoying every session.
1. Proactive Strength, Balance & Floor-to-Stand Confidence
We help active adults build real leg power, core stability, and ankle agility for walking the Cuyahoga Valley Towpath, gardening, golf, and getting down on the floor and back up with ease—while always offering Seated and Chair-Hold options.
2. Three Welcoming Levels in Every Session
Whether you're feeling energetic for Level 3 (Free Standing & Floor-to-Stand) or want extra joint support with Level 1 (Seated) or Level 2 (Chair-Supported), every exercise is coached across all three levels simultaneously.
3. Brain-and-Body Dual-Task Vitality
Real-life balance requires thinking while moving. We pair upbeat music and movement with fun visual-tracking and reaction games that keep your mind and stepping reflexes sharp.
1-on-1 Coaching, Group Pods & Local Partner Classes
