Testimonials
“I planned to earn accreditation to help clients unlock their full potential through this course, and I ended up unlocking the potential of my own life! Amy created a psychologically safe environment that allowed us to explore our darkness and light in a non-judgmental, unbiased way. It will change the way you engage with yourself, others, and your life in the most powerful, beautiful way.”
"I am so grateful to Amy for welcoming me into this program. My cohort was amazing I loved learning together and accepting the challenge of getting outside my comfort zone. It wasn’t easy, but I’m now prepared to truly be a transformational leader. Be prepared to be a better version of yourself!"
“The classroom learning offered space for so much dialogue and introspection which helped to imbed the learning. I was extremely impressed by the engaging speakers. Cohort offered ample opportunities for coaching and feedback. I believe this was able to happen because I felt emotionally safe with my teacher and group.”
“Amy, I will cherish the beautiful friendships and professional connections created for a lifetime. This experience has given me so much more confidence in my ability to be an effective coach, regardless of the topic. I am grateful for taking my coach skills to the next level.”
“I was blown away by all of the benefits I received by taking Amy’s training sessions. First, I met some amazing people who were in my training class that I will be lifelong friends with I am sure. I also learned a different way of helping people deal with their problems by being much more curious in my discussions. I think taking this course will greatly benefit me in my mediation practice and in all areas of my life.”
