Testimonials

Amy has helped me in countless ways. She listens intently and I feel heard and understood. Amy is amazing at helping unearth resources I never knew existed. I have an autoimmune disease and hadn’t been feeling well even though my Dr. said everything looked fine. This had been going on for years. Amy connected me with a functional nutritionist which I had never heard of and for the first time in too long a time, I feel like I’m on the right path. I’ve had to change almost everything about my diet. I was upset and overwhelmed at first but Amy helps me break it down so it’s easier to understand and feels more doable. I’m so thankful that I found Amy and feel like she has truly helped me to make my life better.

Amy asked me “how I’d feel about doing a small experiment” and changed my whole life. I’ve had lifelong digestive issues. I’ve been to many doctors and specialists, all of whom found nothing wrong and played down my concerns. It turns out I have a dairy intolerance which we figured out with an elimination diet “experiment”. This might be TMI, but for the first time in my life I am going to the bathroom like a normal person. Discomfort that I had tried to convince myself was “normal” is completely gone. I’m in my late 50’s, I’ve been at this for a long time and Amy is the first person who took this seriously enough and agreed that there had to be something real that was causing my issues. I highly recommend working with Amy!

A friend suggested that I call Amy after being diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella and I’m so glad I did. She really helped me understand what my Doctor wanted me to do with diet, medication timing schedules and how to handle the treatments. She helped me advocate for myself and prepare for my Doctor appointments. Amy also helped my Husband who didn’t understand Lyme Disease and had no idea how to support me.

I’ve enjoyed working with Amy. I originally signed on for help with losing weight. My doctor had successfully scared me into making some changes to my diet and I was having a lot of trouble due to my picky eater family and my crazy busy life. Amy helped me understand why some of the things were important and gave me great ideas for the practical aspects that I still use. She asks questions that really make you think and shake you out of running your life on autopilot. I did lose the weight, my A1C went down and my doctor is happy!

Coaching with Amy is like a 1 on 1 snowboarding lesson. You can’t hide, it’s hard, sometimes it even hurts, and you end up leaving feeling confident, exhilarated, excited and really looking forward to the next time.

Amy helped me get through Lyme Disease and mold illness. I was a mess when I started with her. She helped me break down all of the protocols and all of the things I had to do into small steps that felt less overwhelming. She taught me about the autoimmune paleo diet and helped me to figure out how to do it in real life with 3 kids. This might have been the most important thing. This diet made me feel so much better. So many of my symptoms got better and I was very surprised at how much better my mood and stress level felt eating this way. I go back to that diet any time I’m feeling unwell and it seems to help every time. She taught me how to get through a herx reaction which I’ll never forget her for.

I have been on a diet roller coaster for most of my life. I’ve had extreme trouble losing weight. It’s been something that has bothered me for years and has made me very self-conscious. Amy was so supportive and understanding, asked so many questions and suggested that I rule a few things out with my doctors. She never for a second made me feel like it was my fault. It turns out I have insulin resistance which I didn’t know a thing about. I didn’t realize that this insulin resistance was causing other symptoms not even related to weight. With Amy’s help, I changed my diet, have lost significant weight and have kept it off! I stopped being terrified of fat and started eating only low glycemic carbs. I have a stressful unhealthy relationship with food and Amy helped me to come up with strategies to feel more in control. I find that I now ask myself the questions she used to ask me during our sessions and it has really helped me maintain everything we did together.

I first met Amy over 2 years ago when struggling with CRPS, Lyme, depression, stress and anxiety. After a decade of seeing several doctors, spending exorbitant amounts of money with no improvement, working with Amy was truly my saving grace. Amy spent the time and asked the right questions that got me to the root cause of my illnesses. She helped me create a path not only to better health, but to a life that is now full of vitality!. She is an abundance of knowledge, she’s wise, intuitive, sensitive and genuinely pours her heart and expertise into every session. She is so much more than a health coach extraordinaire! Her practice is holistic, always mindful of the juncture where the physical, emotional and one’s spirit intersects. Amy is non-judgemental, something I’ve found other providers lacking. I left every session feeling heard, respected and empowered. Amy taught me to take care of myself in a loving way with a new level of consciousness. I have an abundance of gratitude for her professionally and personally. I wholeheartedly think she was the missing piece not only in my journey to health, but my life.

I’ve been working with Amy for about 6 months. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been struggling to manage my condition for as long as I can remember. I’ve been to so many Doctors, weight loss clinics, therapists and found Amy’s approach to be completely different. She is so accepting and compassionate and really listens to me. She makes my feelings, worries and challenges feel important, always, no matter what the number on that scale says. In fact, Amy doesn’t even ask about what that scale says. Ever. I’ve learned about behavioral triggers, eating for satiety, controlling blood sugar and all of it has made a tremendous difference to me. I’ve lost weight, my A1c has come down but most importantly I’m no longer walking around feeling like a failure and like this struggle is a life sentence. I feel hopeful and so excited that I’m even thinking about becoming a coach myself! I have a long way to go, but for the first time that I can remember, I really feel on a deep level that I can do this!

I truly thought I’d only be happy once I was skinny. Food, exercise, clothing size etc used to shape every aspect of my life and add a level of underlying stress to every situation I was in. I used to joke around that I was a “calorie savant”, taking pride in knowing the calorie count of just about every food in existence. I started working with Amy for accountability in losing about 15 pounds and was fully prepared for more of the same calorie counting, starving myself and stress that had been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What I got, were strategies to silence my mean, harsh inner critic voice, an understanding about processed foods and eating for satiety, and a mindfulness practice about things that were emotionally triggering me to mindlessly eat. Amy gave me the tools to understand what is driving my emotional eating and for this I am eternally grateful. I now feel like I have power over this thing that has been a stressor in my life since childhood. I don’t feel like a failure and I’ve stopped beating myself up for overeating at times. Now I “celebrate my wins” and use mis-steps as learning opportunities and reminders for next time. I’m so thankful and would recommend working with Amy to anyone!

I’m so thankful for the time I spent working with Amy. I no longer spend half my day obsessing over food. I now realize that I was truly spending hours each day stressing out over eating, not eating, what to eat, what not to eat and endlessly beating myself up for making bad choices. I’ve learned so much about what healthy eating looks like but I’ve learned even more about myself. I have 2 daughters and am so thankful to feel that I have some tools and strategies for not passing on my food craziness to the next generation!
