Amanda Lambert —
your advocate
in the Sault.
Amanda founded Strong Minds in 2017 with a simple belief: everyone deserves to live a happy, fulfilling life — both mentally and physically. As a Registered Health & Exercise Practitioner with a Bachelor of Science in Education, she brings a uniquely holistic lens to care, using physical activity as a gateway to mental health recovery.
Her work is rooted in community. From hospital wellness committees to PrideFest, Amanda is deeply embedded in Sault Ste. Marie — and that shows in how she cares for every single client.
Real people.
Real change.
The most powerful testament to what's possible when you take that first step.
Strong Minds changed the way I think about my recovery. Amanda doesn't just help you get moving — she helps you believe you can. I've never felt so supported.
As a caregiver, I was running on empty. The respite relief gave me space to breathe and come back stronger for my family. It felt like someone finally saw me too.
I was nervous to start but the classes made everything feel so natural. The combination of movement and coaching helped me find confidence I didn't know I had.

Run for Change.
Strong Minds is more than a practice — it's a movement. Join us for our annual community event that brings Sault Ste. Marie together to raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health.
This is one of the many ways we support our community.
