We live in a culture that tells us to hustle harder, chase goals no matter the cost, and constantly prove our worth. We're bombarded with quick fixes—tips, tricks, and so-called secrets to success—but they rarely get to the root of what’s really going on. Over time, this pressure can leave us feeling exhausted, stuck, unmotivated, and wondering where our sense of purpose has gone.
There is a way forward!
Whole Person Coaching is a thoughtful, integrative approach built on the belief that when you truly know, accept, and express all parts of yourself, you create the foundation to thrive—in work, relationships, and life as a whole. By focusing on you before the goal, this method supports lasting resilience, helps you align your decisions with your core values, reconnects you with your inner voice, and empowers you to choose your own path forward with clarity and confidence.

Coaching for Life Beyond Chronic Stress
Move Beyond Survival—Step Into Your Life
As a Trauma-Informed Whole Person Coach, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the lasting impact of chronic stress and trauma. My approach is rooted in understanding how these experiences impact the whole person: mentally, physically, emotionally, and relationally. Together we explore what’s keeping you stuck, as you reconnect with all aspects of yourself, so you are able to make empowered choices about how to move forward.
In many spaces, including personal development, there’s often pressure to push through discomfort, stay productive, and keep going at any cost. But, pushing through doesn’t make stress go away. It can become chronic and impact us much like trauma does—it can change how we think, how we relate to others, and how we see ourselves. Over time, it can show up as lack of motivation, unfinished projects, difficulty making decisions, unhealthy habits, physical symptoms, a feeling of undefined life purpose, and more.
​
Though coaching is often associated with goals, accountability, and progress, that pressure to push through doesn't exist in our work together. Those are valuable—but I believe the most profound truth in coaching is this: you already have within you everything you need to chart your path, define your purpose, and build the life you want—even after chronic stress or trauma. My role is to be a resource, hold a powerfully safe space for exploration, reflect back your strengths, and remind you of that truth whenever you forget it.

Letting Go of ‘Should’ and Finding What’s True
Stepping into your whole self can feel scary—I know, because I’ve walked that path myself. I was the classic overachiever. I didn’t just join teams—I led them. I achieved every goal I set, no matter the cost to my physical, mental, or emotional well-being. I was praised for my resilience—while inside, I was quietly unraveling. My health was deteriorating, my passion was slipping away, and every victory felt hollow. I even poured myself into social justice work, hoping to find meaning—but still felt adrift.
​
What shifted wasn’t a grand epiphany from any 5-step process or secret to success, but a series of small, honest moments: slowing down, embracing who I really am at my core, listening to what I truly needed, giving myself space to feel deeply, and letting go of what I thought I should do and who I should be. Bit by bit, I redefined success on my own terms, learned to release long held shame, and discovered sustainable resilience rooted in compassion. That’s the journey I now walk alongside others: helping you reconnect with who you really are, and find your own clarity, courage, and strength.
You've got this, and I'm in your corner!

Client Testimonial
“I was having a difficult time sorting out what I wanted out of my life, and the career I wanted to take. My experience shifted when I began to realize that I no longer had to carry shame that other people gave, or continue to give, me. I discovered tools to get through difficult situations. It gave me time to fully reflect and dig deep into what I wanted. I gained so much clarity that the plans of my career have more direction and purpose than before. If you're thinking of working with Amanda, I would say that you might not get all the answers right away, but they will build and stack up to each other. Amanda asks the right questions, like forming a bridge of your thoughts and emotions, and uses her knowledge in mental health to help you form a connection to better yourself. The sessions are helpful in bringing the light out within you, after it has been buried by fear or trauma.”

Coaching and Therapy
Healing Together, Moving Forward with Confidence
While coaching is not a substitute for therapy when it comes to navigating the affects of chronic stress or trauma, it can be a powerful complement. With both a coach and a therapist in your corner, you can heal old wounds while building momentum toward the future—on your terms, at your pace.
​
Ultimately, whether you choose to also engage a therapist to support you as you move forward on your journey, or not, is up to you—and the choice will always be available to you even after starting coaching. You're in the driver's seat.
