HOLISTIC WELLNESS FOR OPTMAL HEALTH •
You know when something’s not right.
When the pressures of your career, your family, and life take over, it can feel like you’re drowning. You have a demanding job and the challenges from taking work home, following through on commitments, and living up to your own high standards has left you feeling physically exhausted and emotionally depleted.
It may be hard to remember a time when you felt in control of your time, free from the mental weight of always being “on” and available for others. And if we’re being honest, work/life balance seems like a distant dream.
Yet how often do you choose to ignore your intuition, ignore the need for rest, and instead find yourself:
Doing everything because it’s quicker, easier, or because only you know how; yet feeling burnt out and resentful because of it?
Saying yes to all requests because you’re worried about what others will think of you if you don’t… and ending up overcommitting, overworking, and having no work/life balance?
Feeling exhausted from the mental load you carry, the unrealistic expectations you place upon yourself, and a racing mind that prevents you from sleeping?
Ignoring your needs- for rest, for connection, for nourishment or hydration?
Never having time for yourself; no time to exercise, plan meals, or just take a break? Perhaps even the words “self-care” provoke anxiety!
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
There are myriad reasons why you are chronically stressed and burnt out. From societal expectations to gender stereotypes to inequalities in the workplace, you feel pressured to push yourself to the brink of exhaustion every. single. day.

How Does Holistic Mental Health Coaching Work?
“Amy, I’ve heard this before. You’re going to wave a magic wand, and everything will be perfect—right?”
I know, I know—the internet is full of hollow promises.
Let me tell you why this isn’t one of them >>>
-
Our time together is a confidential and judgment-free zone where you are safe to share your deepest struggles and biggest dreams. I help you gain clarity around your goals for work-life integration, wellness, and self-care, then guide you through a process of self-discovery as you identify what’s most important in you life. Along the way, I’ll provide you with tips, tricks, and tools to facilitate the changes needed to reach your goals.
-
I’ll be honest with you, there are many puzzle pieces involved in bringing life back into balance. You’ll be spinning your wheels for the long haul unless you find and address the root causes of your current challenges. So together, we’ll uncover those causes, and create a focused action plan to restore balance to your body, your mind, and your life.

My coaching program is based on the evidence-based principles of functional medicine, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy. As a Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and School Psychologist, I’m experienced and qualified in helping people apply these techniques, work through challenges, and build on their successes to keep moving forward.
My coach approach is:
Holistic Mental Health Coaching is not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution.
It’s an opportunity to take a deep dive into your own life and not only figure out what’s not working for you anymore—but what you can do differently, right now.
“I met Amy at a particularly challenging point in my life, as I was clawing my way back to baseline after finishing treatment for life-threatening cancer and losing my home to a wildfire. My confidence and motivation were both very low. I was in survival mode. I found that her gentle, encouraging, and insightful coaching helped me to set achievable goals and to stop berating myself if I fell short- a powerful combination that enabled me to dust myself off and try again- until I got a bit stronger and set another manageable goal. Amy is a natural-born coach and will help many people achieve their health goals, one step at a time.”

The interdependent Dimensions of wellness
The Fundamentals of Balanced Wellness
In Functional Medicine, wellness is made up of multiple dimensions. These dimensions are interdependent—which means they rely on each other. If one dimension is out of balance, the other dimensions will be, too. And in order to feel energized and overcome burnout- we need to address each of them.
01. Nutrition
Make simple dietary changes to naturally support mental and physical health by adding what heals and removing what harms.
02. Sleep / Rest
Improve sleep quantity and quality, sleep hygiene and intentional daytime rest. Learn how to truly take a break and feel comfortable with downtime.
03. Stress Transformation
Learn the difference between acute and chronic stress, identify your stressors, and transform your stress response by shifting your mindset.
04. Movement & Exercise
Integrate regular movement into your day even if you don’t have time for exercise with non-exercise physical activity.
05. Emotional Resilience
Handle day to day stressors with ease by cultivating resilience with positive coping strategies and a growth mindset.
06. Connection & Supportive Relationships
Set and maintain healthy boundaries, learn effective communication skills, advocate for yourself, and develop strategies for dealing with conflict.
07. Mindfulness
Strengthen your ability to be grounded in the present moment, free from a racing mind, overthinking, rumination or worry.
Case Study: Coaching Works!
A client I’ll call B. initiated coaching with me to enhance their relationships and broaden their social connections. Within the first three sessions, they recognized the fundamental importance of prioritizing self-care for building meaningful connections. Our discussions explored actionable strategies, leading them to express their intention to join a local wellness center. Shortly after our third session, I received this uplifting message:
“Hello Amy! I have great news! After work today, I visited the Sports and Wellness Center and joined as a member. I'm excited about working out, maybe trying new classes, and going into the hottub. The Sports and Wellness center also has adult swimming classes which I want to do.”
