Amanda was introduced to Pilates exercises through physical therapy, post multiple knee surgeries, due to one fateful knee twisting skiing accident during college. The silver lining is that she found her career calling in the process. She is still going strong in this career that began with her STOTT PILATES® certification in 2005.

Conscious Education
Amanda Fletcher Rice created Conscious Education LLC to facilitate hosting STOTT PILATES® Training in Denver, Colorado. STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary approach to the original Pilates method based on modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation. Our signature STOTT PILATES education method is unparalleled in the industry for its thoroughness and quality. STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Lindsay and Moira Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine, and fitness professionals, have spent over three decades refining the acclaimed STOTT PILATES method of exercise. The refined method resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation — making it one of the safest and most effective methods available. STOTT PILATES is recognized as The Professional’s Choice™ by studios, fitness facilities, fitness professionals and the consumer market worldwide.
The training is currently held at the Colorado Athletic Club Inverness, a fully equipped Pilates studio in South Denver. Amanda also hosts onsite training at other Pilates studios, Physical Therapy practices and gyms throughout the western United States.
