Mind-Body, non-diet health coaching
Hey, I’m Amy! I’m a HAES-aligned health coach who specializes in healing relationships with food, body image and movement from an inside-out approach. That means you can look forward to more freedom and fun, and say buh-bye to stress and shame. More details below…
Tell me if any of this resonates:
You go back and forth between obsessing over health and completely ditching it. There’s no in-between.
You have trouble doing things you don’t like or aren’t perfect at.
Your brain sabotages you when you try to work out or eat healthy.
Your mental health affects your motivation and consistency and no one’s taught you how to work WITH it (Neurospiciness applies here, too).
If any of that hits you in the feels, you're in the right space. My life's work is helping people just like you remodel their thought patterns and feel good around food, in their bodies and with movement, no matter how bad it’s gotten. There is a way to be healthy without punishing or shaming yourself into it, and–if you’re looking for a guide–I’ll happily be your Huckleberry.
Food Freedom
Being able to eat without shame or panic in amounts that feel good to your body.
Body Connection
Being able to recognize your body’s needs and states, and know how to give it what it needs.
Body Neutrality
The state in which one’s worth and happiness is independent from how much or little they like their body.
Emotional Balance
A feeling of stability, resilience and empowerment in day-to-day life, and confidence in your ability to achieve it no matter the emotion.
Here are some of the techniques and methods I use to help you develop true health inside and out:
Just a heads up: while you will do work along with me on our coaching calls, most of the life-changing work will be done on your own with specific, actionable homework that I give you. Coaching with me requires a commitment to do work on your own time.
This is the real meat of it where I get to see you face-to-face (er…screen-to-face?) and coach you how I coach best. All our calls are hosted on video so I can gauge your energy. Plus, each call will be recorded so ditch the notes, dude!
You're not in this alone anymore, babe. Between calls, we'll check in over email or chat to keep you on track and supported... and curb any freak outs. (Full Monthly Coaching Packages only)
I'm not leavin' you in the dark, boo! As part of your homework, you'll get personalized tools that you'll be able to use for. ev. errrrr. (Full Monthly Coaching Packages only)
Why Amy, tho?
Besides being OBSESSED with certifications and ongoing training in this space I’ve worked in for over 15 years, I have lived experience with eating disorders, neurodivergence and mental health struggles that allow me to relate with clients in a unique way.
What the world sees at first glance:
I'm an elite fitness trainer for Cyberobics - over 150 gyms across Europe, SkyTV and the Cyberobics App feature my workout videos. I also teach my mantra-based bootcamp at retreats and events across the world.
I'm a motivational speaker, having spoken for To Write Love On Her Arms, The National Alliance on Mental Illness and The Marine Corps.
I'm the force behind Strong Inside Out and The 30x30 Project, a 30-city tour to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention charity.
What the world doesn't see:
The clinical depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, trauma and eating disorders that I've overcome through this very work.
There was a time when getting out of bed was my win for the day. I sincerely could not even imagine being mentally stable let alone effing HAPPY!
I hurt myself trying to make my body look "good enough," exhausted myself by hustling my ass off to be "successful enough," and compromised my values by sucking up my own needs to be "lovable enough."
I finally got fed up trying to be enough for the world, and through that revolt, I realized I already was.
Now, I’m a bomb ass mom, recovered disordered eater, and balanced movement-lover. I’m living and breathing what I teach to others every. freaking. DAY.
It took years of trying and failing to find what worked for me, but it all came down to exactly what I hope to teach you: how to build an individual version of Health that feels RIGHT.
If you'd like to read more about my story, you can do so here.
I work with a broad range of clients and have become especially adept at coaching people with:
If you’re Autistic, have ADHD, OCD, Tourettes, PTSD or trauma (or suspect you might be in that realm), your brain is different so your coaching should be, too.
People in recovery from eating disorders/disordered eating, I’ve been through the ringer with it myself and know how to guide you into body-based health without tossing you back into harmful coping skills.
Mood disorders affect our physical health, motivation and cognition. Learning how to meet yourself where you are–episode or no–is key for sustainable practices you’ll stick to for life.

*I am not a mental health professional. Where therapists go after the trauma directly, this training taught me how to address the current effects you experience from trauma. I help you with the current feels and patterns; therapists help you process the event.
If you are looking for a coach that gets it, that has done and is doing the "work", and will shower you with exactly what you need, work with Amy.
When I first met Amy, I was steeped in diet culture, internalized fatphobia, engaging in multiple disordered eating behaviors, depressed, anxious, and on and on. I hated that I couldn't just stop "emotional eating."
She helped me recognize the ways that fatphobia was affecting me and that I was weaponizing fatphobia against myself. She did something revolutionary to me, and connected me with people with lived experience in a larger body, body liberation resources and friends. And she stuck with me through the process.
She just kept listening and centering my experience. And that was so healing on a level that I didn't know I needed. I'm so grateful.
I used to be consumed with counting calories, restricting, binging and hating my body. Amy really saw me.
From the moment we had our first call I felt seen, heard and so supported. Every call and every check in was a bright light in my journey of tears, dark moments and positive breakthroughs. She was able to deeply empathize with how I felt, help me understand it and direct me in processing through it. I felt her presence on every call, as if she were holding me when I was in tears and hugging me when I had a happy day.
I’m forever grateful for her support and love in helping me overcome my relationship with food, start the process of releasing trauma and open myself to body acceptance and self love.
Amy is a special human soul and the work she is doing is life changing. It was life changing for me. Thank you for being you.
I am grateful for the coaching work I have done with Amy. She is a great listener and holds a beautiful, clear, non-judgmental container.
She stays very present with your process and offers a seemingly endless amount of tools to get through the challenges that life offers.
Last night, I drank and ate food I would have previously judged as *bad*. In the past I would have woken up tired, more than lethargic actually. Beating up on myself and making promises that today would be better. Instead, I woke up open hearted, happy, proud and went skinny dipping in my pool and went on a gorgeous hike in nature. Self love had me choose nourishing foods today. It made me realize, I'm tired and I needed extra self care.
This new way of being is from Amy's coaching. I hadn't even realized how mean I was to myself for what I was eating. Amy spotted it and gently taught me a new way. I'm so grateful!
Before I started working with Amy, my body was a constant source of anxiety for me. I was convinced that someday, if I were only thin enough, everything in my life would fall into place - but no matter the extremes I went to, it was never, ever enough.
Amy changed everything for me. She gave me the tools and support to start believing that I’m enough just as I am, and the accountability to act on that belief by living my very best life.
Thanks to Amy, I’ve learned how to be my own hero.
I’m not here to f around, babe. I pour my heart and soul into each and every coaching client. I devote hours of my time strategizing how to help you in the best, most fluid way I can. I care. A LOT. I pride myself on helping people make real, long-lasting change happen.
