About Me
I came across coaching when I myself was feeling stuck. A friend introduced me to a coaching program, where I found tools that really helped me look at my life in a new light and I realized I wanted to share what I had learned for myself with others. I started with some pro bono coaching, and quickly built up my roster of clients through referrals.
I believe in accessibility to coaching and I offer discounted rates to individuals who are in tight situations.
Fun facts about me: I recently returned to Canada after living overseas for 10 years - in Eswatini and Kenya. I have a portfolio career, and my past roles have ranged from private sector consulting, to birth doula, and many things in between. Currently - in addition to coaching - I work as a policy advisor with Immigration Canada.
I would love to hear from you, and to learn more about what changes you would like to make in your career and life. Get in touch!

VerifiedI have really been enjoying my coaching sessions with Amy . She is down to earth and really listens. I am learning a lot on how to net work and get my skills out into the public .

VerifiedI enjoyed all my sessions with Amy; first she is very generous with her time, and focuses on making sure you get the most out the session. I almost felt like I was in therapy at time because she really dig deep to help you learn and discover more about yourself and your potential and build up self confidence. I believe my coaching sessions with her mark a turning point in my career, and am forever grateful

I have really enjoyed working with Amy! She was able to draw me out and to help me see through my issues or challenges (personal and career-related) to long-lasting and effective solutions. As evidence of how effective her coaching style is, I have already managed to put to good use a lot of what we discussed and I look forward to utilising the rest of the tools and skills learned.

For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with my desire to consistently make the "right" decisions across my personal and professional lives. Amy's coaching helped me to examine what "right" means to me based on my work, lifestyle, and relationship goals, and then start making iterative changes in line with these goals rather than be overwhelmed by them. What I find particularly special about Amy's coaching is the way that she balanced creating a safe space for me to be vulnerable while also pushing me outside of my comfort zone to do the hard work needed for growth. Amy is an incredibly empathetic, perceptive, and inventive person which makes her coaching both productive and enjoyable; I highly recommend her as a coach if you are feeling stuck in any aspect of your life.

Amy helped me navigate through uncertainty and impostor syndrome as I was looking to make a career transition. She helped me challenge myself in ways I wouldn't have by myself. Those couple months ended up being some of the most rewarding months of personal and professional growth. I would highly recommend Amy if you are looking to grow or redesign your career/life!

My coaching sessions with Amy helped me unpack both my professional and personal life, understand where I currently was, where I was looking to go and ultimately what I needed to do to make the changes a reality. She created the space which allowed me to figure this out on my own, while also knowing I needed some structure to guide me into action. She is intuitive, genuine and supportive while also holding me accountable for my own development. Overall she helped me become more self aware, accepting of myself and equipped me with practical tools to build habits that created changes I needed to develop both in my personal and professional life.

Coaching with Amy was really valuable and a ton of fun. I started working with Amy when I was at a crossroads in both my career and personal life, looking for a thought partner to help me think through my next steps in terms of job and living location that align with my personal and professional goals and values. Amy did a great job of facilitating discussions around the different exercises, creating an environment where I could be open and honest, and challenging some of my old habits in how I think about myself in a really productive way. The exercises we worked through challenged me to think about different aspects of my life in new ways. The idea of prototyping has been particularly valuable to me - as someone who historically will sit with an idea for a long time until it's "perfect" in my head. The experience has enabled me to be much more intentional about my next steps and I'm now living in a new city and have a great job that supports my professional growth and personal life goals. I highly recommend working with Amy as a coach and thought partner to anyone who is looking to take a step back and identify big or small ways to improve their life.

Amy is an inspirational coach and mentor. She uses life and work experiences to bring practical perspectives while guiding you through a structured coaching process. I highly recommend Amy to anyone examining trying to understand what life's opportunities can bring!

Amy is a patient, thoughtful, and compassionate coach. I worked with Amy during a particularly busy time in my professional life and she helped me institute small changes to make each day more productive and enjoyable, while also helping me look at the big picture and generate ideas for larger changes in the future. I appreciated her flexibility when an exercise or approach wasn't working for me; she was always able to re-frame it or reconsider how we should engage. The one-on-one time was valuable, as was the small group work where I got to hear from others about my potential life plans and how to put them into action. I highly recommend coaching with Amy - while we worked together over a year ago, the coaching experience is paying dividends still.

I signed up for Amy's 6 session coaching package at a time that I felt work-life balance was a little off. Working fulltime and being a mom can sometimes be overwhelming and feel as being stuck in a high speed train without time to breathe and reflect. Amy helped me to reassess my values and the things that give me energy. In six sessions I was able to not only make some incremental changes that helped me feel more balanced (now and in the future), the sessions also opened my eyes to more substantial choices I needed to make and that without Amy's help I would not have dared to do. I highly recommend the 6 session course with Amy and even some additional sessions to keep the momentum.
