We're here to make insurance feel less like a headache.
Insurance is a lot more bearable when someone's actually in your corner.
I know nobody gets excited about buying insurance.
But I got into this work because I genuinely like people, and I wanted to be the kind of agent who makes a necessary thing feel a lot less painful.
Insurance coverage lives in the fine print
Every policy I recommend gets read, not just sold. Shopping across carriers means I'm never locked into one option - always looking for the best fit for your specific situation. Mountain properties, older roofs, teenage drivers - those aren't problems here, they're just part of finding the right match.
Hi, I’m Amanda Mancuso
I was born and raised in Northern Colorado, pretty much all those years spent in Fort Collins. I went to Dunn Elementary, Blevins (at the time it was Junior High), Rocky High, and CSU. I have 3 children - Curtis, Lilaina, and Myla. My husband Dave is a Greeley firefighter. We are pretty plugged into our community and love all things FoCo: biking, hiking, paddleboarding... beer!
Before I became an independent insurance agent, I spent over a decade in social work and public health. I love working with people, building relationships, and solving problems. The decision to work in the insurance industry came out of much contemplation about combining what I care about with what I am good at! With a passion for helping people and my commitment to providing a high quality, customer experience, my business was born.

Liz Stageberg
Hi, I’m Liz Stageberg, I live in Loveland Colorado and call NOCO home with my husband and two dogs (Schatzi and Saoirse). I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead Minnesota and quickly returned to the mountain lifestyle. I’m an avid outdoorsman and enjoy spending my weekends hiking, gardening, skiing, horseback riding, and at the archery range. I’m also a certified barre and yoga teacher and can often be found leading a flow at my local studio.
Peace of mind, literally
Shanti is the Sanskrit word for peace. I've practiced yoga for 25 years, and the word has meant a lot to me long before I started this company.
When it came time to name the business, it felt right. Good insurance coverage should give you peace of mind - you shouldn't have to lie awake wondering if you're covered. We’re here to make sure you have exactly what you need.
