FAQs

  • I’ll be honest, what happens here is that all the secret parts of yourself, those pieces no one knows about? We dig into those. This leadership and relationship coaching isn’t for the faint of heart. The results will vary, but one thing I know to be true is that our working together may take time but it will be time that expedites a feeling of deep fulfillment, meaningful connections, success, joy, love, and greater influence in your life and work. 

    It’s here that you get to be all of you. Even the parts of yourself that are costing you a true feeling of wholeness, embodiment, and what you deeply desire. No more holding back what matters to you most. The Belonging and Freedom that you have been seeking that feel just out of reach…we’ve got you.

    In our coaching, I bring my 20 years of expertise as a psychotherapist with a mix of trauma and attachment-informed somatic practices, mindset tools, presence, humility, humor, and intuition. Think of me as the Hermione to your Harry or an Alchemist. I hold the lantern as you unearth what you’ve been hiding from you in the dark: your worth, inner knowing, desires, wants, embodiment, and alive self. No matter if we work virtually or in person at a retreat, I’m in it with you!

  • This is not a flash in the pan solution to what’s troubling you.

    I can’t make you a Google Doc and tell you what to do.

    This time we spend together, whether it’s 90 minutes or years, it’s time that will produce dramatic exponential results and will help you deepen your relationship with yourself but also will enable you to impact the community and relationships you have around you. You won’t believe how you’ve created the live and work you are leading and living until you are!

  • As long as you’re willing, I’m in. With 20 years of experience, I know when clients are a match for this Leadership and Relationship Coaching or House Therapy Coaching with me. I hold high standards for my integrity with this work, and I don’t work with everyone. I will make a recommendation or offer a resource for those who aren’t well matched for my skill set or offerings.

    I coach all humans: women, men, trans, binary, non-binary, and a binary folk.

    My leadership, relationship, space, and land knowledge base is wide and deep. No topics, skills, strategies, or questions are off of the table. This list is just the beginning!

    When we are a match for working together, I know you are ready for next-level radical upgrades in love, relationships, and life.

    You may have no idea what they are, or maybe you are crystal clear but don’t know how to get there or fix it.

    You are ready for something bigger in your relationship(s) and life.

    You may be thinking…who am I to want this?

    Will people leave me if I’m happier or more successful?

    Will I burn my life down if I go for my dreams?

    Can I let love in safely and consciously without drama?

    Can dramatically shift how I love, appreciate and respect the people I already have in my life?

    Can I really have it all…success, impact, love, connection, and belonging?

    Or you may even secretly think….maybe most people can have it, but it won’t happen for me.

    What if I go for this, and I fail?

    You may be here after scouring over my website and possibly Instagram, watching a few hundred of my lives.

    You are thorough and make sure that when you invest there is integrity on both sides of the service and agreement.

    You know that you’re ready to coach with me when you are willing to want more than you have or know is possible.

    You also know you are ready to book in with me when you feel a Whole Bodied YES or f*ck YES.

    If your YES isn’t strong and clear, we most likely aren’t a match.

  • If only we could hand out a to-do list to solve our struggles! There’s no google doc that I can give you in place of deep change work but if you’re willing to be open, after a time, our transformational leadership and relationship coaching container and/or house therapy experience will feel like the to-do list that gets the results you’ve been searching for your whole life. 

    If this was a matter of willpower, badassery, self-study, or getting it done, you would have already seen the results you seek through reading books, listening to podcasts, and you name it. 

    You’re a complex person with many things you do well and kick ass at, but the places that are more challenging (relationships or unparalleled joy, etc.) may just seem off-limits. Why? 

    Because asking for help, allowing the help in, learning to trust yourself, and the faith that it will change is f*ing scary and vulnerable.  

    There are no to-do lists, books, or podcasts that get you through this messy feeling. You might even think that nothing has worked for this stagnant part of your life, so why bother trying yet another thing?

    Here’s what you need to know: 

    I stand for you and all you are in your most aligned, embodied, and meaningful life, relationships, and work. 

    Your deepest longings inform the internal process of the transformational relationship work we do together. 

    Think about it this way - you wouldn’t give a mentee or colleague, who has immense untapped potential Cliff’s Notes version of success. You know the value in your relationship and see them discover their untapped potential through tips and real-time support. 

    This is me for you. 

    I see your limitless potential, and I can help you extract that potential and release the wounds, beliefs, intergenerational patterns, and old ways that hold you back with immense support (including your ancestors if that feels right for you). This is the next level of epigenetic healing and transformation. This is what 20 years of expertise with gentleness and solid results bring to you in this transformational relationship coaching. 

    This process aligns you with the rest of your life and relationships as the epic human that you are.

  • I know, I know. Group work is the last thing you would ever do on Earth. If we’re honest, likely not even then. 

    If you could do it alone or even pay quadruple the cost to avoid a group, you would (and likely already have). 

    Here’s the hard truth: if you’ve done the 1:1 therapy or tried all the self-help books, listened to podcasts while cleaning, and you’re still stuck in relationships, saying yes to working in a circle or on retreat (aka group work) with me will bring you to the crossroads of everything I’ve known to work and be true and uncertainty and no guarantees (good old vulnerability). 

    I hold the highest fidelity with each client and group that I work with - I know what’s on the line for you to be a yes to a group, retreat, and work with other people. 

    Confidentiality is an essential part of agreeing to this work - what’s said in the group stays in the group - and everyone in that group has the same amount of skin in the game. 

    Your privacy is sacred, as is your sense of safety. This is not compromised and we have very clear guidelines around confidentiality that we revisit in writing and discussion.

    Plus, I’m really good at boundaries, and anyone who has met me knows, I don’t mess around with this.

  • Even if you’ve done 1:1 work, you still likely struggle with intimacy in your life. This is common for many folks who have had therapy before. 

    Coaching groups, masterminds and retreats create the opportunity to deal with family patterns, as well as repeated relational patterns. It allows you to work out the dynamic you had with your mother/father/primary caregiver and sisterhood wounds beyond your 1:1 therapy because in a group you receive mirroring and support around the complexities of family/group/community dynamics. 

    This is where most of your fear and hurt can live and, as a result, hold you back from giving and receiving healthy love, connection, belonging, thriving, and boundaries. 

    In 1:1 work, we can work on your family dynamics, but as a coach, guide, and healer, I can’t represent your entire family. 

    Never thought about that way before, did you?

  • Many clients have tried talk therapy and traditional coaching without significant results. 

    They leave those transactions feeling like they have just listened to themselves talk for an hour, disconnected from their bodies and True Selves, and/or unclear about how to move forward in a clear way (let alone with energy and aliveness).

    In my process, you’re invited into work that supports you to make contact with all of you, not just your thoughts or words. I bring my 20 years of expertise as a psychotherapist, somatic expert, NLP mindset coach, and intuitive - in these sessions there’s an immense capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. Much of our deepest longings have a felt sense of physicality to them beyond words. 

    Similarly, some of our deepest hurt or the stories that we tell ourselves or the fears that these stories are TRUE also live in a place in us beyond words and often have epigenetic roots.  We may talk in this work, but we are communicating with the physical body, organs, cells, DNA, energy body, psyche, and soul, not just the ego alone.

    I believe in you and don’t believe that anyone is broken or terminally unique.

    When we seek radical aliveness, transformation, and conscious leadership and relationships, it is important to notice that healing is one aspect of the process.  In wisdom traditions and cultures, it is the role of the wise woman, the sage, the healer, the witch, and the alchemist to support the healing process.  We can't heal in a vacuum. 

    During your transformation process, my role is one of the coach. I am a witness, guide, and mirror for you in this space.  You are a self-led person who chooses this path of evolution beyond your wildest dreams.

    Asking for help with relationships means you are leading yourself to the next step on your path.  There are no one-size fits all approach that will integrate your healing and evolution through the messy middle en route to your aliveness and transformation.

    In these contexts and in the context of being witnessed by others, it’s here that you will begin to build the capacity for the feelings you’re carrying and shift the vibration of your aliveness to meet life itself! You will know when to wait and how to build your momentum for your unshakeable desires and vision. You will trust you and your discernment and your YES and NO. Nothing will be off of the table.

  • You can try. 

    Just kidding. 

    My guess is that when the going gets tough you quit (perhaps out of high reactivity) because you don’t want to move past the next step. This is a pattern you employ. It’s uncomfortable and you walk away, burn it down, shut down, tell white lies, or people please. 

    Instead, I invite you to come in with the mindset that you’ll keep going even in the discomfort. Discomfort allows for growth - quitting and your old ways have kept you where you are - isn’t it time to stick with yourself in order to fully heal and alchemize your full potential? My work invites you to step into your personal power.You become a No Matter What, rather than someone who only thrives through circumstantial power.In my coaching containers, integrity is one of my highest values and offering coaching from this context creates potency. Commitment: to you, your process and evolution is how transformation unfolds and integrates.

    COMPLETE & CONTINUEI offer 1:1 coaching to adults including those that identify as trans, non-binary and/or male.”I met Amy when I was at my lowest. I was 2 days sober and living a life without direction or purpose. I kept telling myself that I had a pretty good life - good paying job, great partner, lots of travel - I just needed to kick this alcoholism thing.

    Almost 5-years later, I can honestly say I don't recognize the man that walked into Amy's office. I learned that getting sober was the tip of the iceberg of what was possible. Getting to the genesis of why I became an addict in the first place was challenging to say the least. I learned the importance of vulnerability and the strength of speaking your truth.

    There are so many things I have accomplished these last few years that I never thought possible. Amy came into my life unexpectedly --- a beacon of truth when I thought I already knew the truth. I now have the opportunity to pay it forward. I am a leader in my field, in a job I love. I know how placing value on those who think they are unworthy, can change the dynamic of someone's life. This is what Amy did for me, and what I will continue to do." -Global Leader (Testimonial)

  • If you’re here, it’s likely because a friend has referred you, and you trust them enough to check things out. This same friend may have also referred you to a realtor, stylist, esthetician, coach, trainer, or a gym. Things that you’re already investing in monthly. 

    I’d encourage you to think about your ability to choose in your transformational private coaching or group work in the same vein. It’s an investment in your outward self and your inner self so that you transform how you feel on the inside to match your outward accomplishments and success.

    As you think about creating space for this type of next-level work, it’s important to note that not only is it a financial investment. It’s an investment of time and energy that will help you to make meaning of what no longer serves you and live a more meaningful and fulling life with healthy relationships and aligned impact in the outside world. Your intention matters.Your commitment matters.You word matters.You matter.

    An individual session is $900.

    Packages for 1:1 Coaching begin at $1,200 per month.

    One day Intensives begin at $5,000.

    Each package is curated around how we agree to work together.My rates are based on my 20 years of expertise with consistent mind-blowing outcomes and intentionality to be anti-racist in my pricing.

    I offer equity based pricing for group work.

    All of my 1:1 equity based coaching spaces are full.
