About me

Gentle, supportive life coaching for the woman who is done over-giving to others while chronically under-serving herself
Because a life you adore doesn’t come from putting yourself last.

Let your shoulders drop, lovely.
This is a safe place where you can put down the weight you’ve been carrying and breathe a delicious, full exhale. Here you can just be you. There’s nothing to do and no one to be except entirely yourself.

Finding yourself again is closer than you think
But it starts with putting yourself back at the top of your to-do list.

I see you lovely. You've built a beautiful life for yourself, you've done the work and forged a path to the job, the home, the friends, the family, the life you deeply wanted. But now you're here something doesn't feel quite right, doesn't feel the way you thought it would….

Somewhere along the way you've lost yourself amongst all the should's and expectations, underneath the relentless pressure and pace of modern life... but it doesn't have to be this way.

The connected, present, vibrant, YOU that you feel so nostaligic for is closer than you think. The version of you who is nourished by and alive within your life, they're ready and waiting for you to say yes. Yes to yourself and to the life you really want to be living. Yes to choice and possibility and freedom. Let's reclaim it!

This is where empathy and compassion meet practicality and action.
​Let's bring more YOU into your life…starting right now.

I’m here to support you to build better habits, put yourself back at the heart of things and take authorship and ownership of your life again.
So you can start living a life that feels like yours, instead of one that doesn't quite fit. 

I know you know that your healthiest, happiest, most present and fulfilled self = your best self. But I also know that ten-step morning routines and relentless self-judgement aren’t helping you get there.

You’ve already achieved so much. You've built a beautiful life for yourself; you've done the work and forged a path to the job, the home, the friends, the family, the life you deeply wanted.

But there’s something else there too.

Maybe it's a loud feeling, maybe it's a gentle ache in your chest, or a racing you can't seem to escape from, a heaviness that doesn't seem to ease. You find yourself waking up with a sense of dread you can’t quite put your finger on, are hiding from your inbox, or catch yourself unbricking your phone, just one more time, in the hope it provides your already overloaded brain with a break.  

I see you lovely, and there’s no shame in feeling the way you do.  

What if the way you're feeling right now, isn't the end of the story? ….What if it’s simply a signal that you need to stop accidentally putting yourself last – and start intentionally making yourself a priority, every single day.

Between juggling careers, care, children, relationships, health and all the other shoulds and expectations that come with being a woman in her 30s and 40s and 50s, it’s no surprise self-care has fallen by the wayside, even with your best intentions. 

It’s my job to help you get back to the connected, present, vibrant, YOU that is nourished by and alive within your life. I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you dig into your real needs – leaning fully into the possibilities your wonderful life holds. Let's reclaim it.

If you're ready for change, then let's get back to you lovely, it's time. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between being there for others and being good to yourself. 

I believe that the most “coachable” people are those who are truly ready for change. They value themselves and know that in order to feel the way they want to in their lives, they need to build a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. So that's where we start.

I’m not here to therapise you or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to meet you where you’re at, provide a safe and compassionate space to unravel what’s going on, and make forming new habits and reshaping your identity feel a lot less overwhelming. I've got you every step of the way.

Meet your Coach: 

Hi I'm Amy,

The go-to Holistic Life and Wellbeing Coach for women who are getting shit done but are exhausted trying to be everything to everybody, who long for a day to themselves but then don’t know what to do with it, and are constantly questioning whether what they’re doing is really enough.  

I bring with me over a decade's worth of experience working in the world of wellness and mental health.  Over the years I have coached, mentored and advocated for people of all ages in statutory services, voluntary organisations and educational institutions, seeing incredible results and transformations. I combine both evidence based practice and intuition, to offer a unique approach which empowers you to bring your whole self to the table, and say YES to the life you choose.

I’ll never shame you for simply being where you’re at. It’s my job to offer deep support and gentle accountability, giving you permission to explore your relationship with yourself, and inviting you to actually include your needs in the conversation. I’ll meet you where you are and hold you safely as you begin to take the action you know you need to take to build your confidence, empower true self trust and meet those needs in a way that lifts the heavy weight you’ve been carrying, off your chest.

 I am a registered member of the Association for Coaching (MAC), an independently verified member of the Life Coach Directory and I hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Further information

Kind words from my clients: 

"My experience has been really positive! Amy not only creates a safe space to explore life’s challenges but works with you to find ways to approach these with confidence.I feel the sessions are non judgemental and therefore I feel extremely comfortable to discuss any issue and always come away a lot lighter knowing I’m gaining knowledge each time. I love how adaptable and supportive Amy has been - especially with a couple of crisis situations I faced during the course. For this I am truly grateful.

Reflecting on how the work is helping me, I can see a massive difference in my confidence and reduced anxiety. I feel I have come a long way since our first coaching session and I have noticed a real difference in how my confidence has grown to face info situations head on rather than run away. I have learnt different ways of approaching challenges but also the mind and body connection. I continue to enjoy my sessions and I 100% recommend Amy for life coach sessions. What are you waiting for? Take action and you’ll see the results!" -Annoymous-  


"Amy is one of the most gentle and non-judgemental people I’ve ever met. She created a safe, calm space where I felt truly supported. Her encouragement was steady and kind — like having a personal cheerleader who genuinely believes in you.

I loved that she let me go at my own pace and never rushed the process. She also gave me practical tools that actually helped in real life. If you’re looking for someone patient, insightful, and truly supportive, I can’t recommend Amy enough."   -Chloe-

"I sought life coaching this year after turning 40. I was feeling the need to be more intentional in how I approach life. Rather than just going through the motions, I wanted to discover how to get my energy back, how to find more joy in the day to day and how to raise my two children in an increasingly complicated world.

Amy supported me at every step of the way, always asking the right questions, giving me micro tools to try that were easy to implement in my busy life and adjusting each session according to what was going on at that time. She was available for me to email or voice note in between sessions and was happy to be adaptable when I went through an unexpected crisis at work.

I left each session feeling energised, with more clarity and most importantly the ability to gain perspective and direction on things. I felt a huge shift in some areas of my life that had been holding me back, and I have continued to use the tools Amy has given me in my daily life. I am so thankful for Amy’s support this year and will for sure be returning for her wisdom, intuition and coaching at other stages of life. She strikes the right balance of empathy and compassion with practicality and action. Thank you Amy!"   -Laura-

"Working with Amy has quite honestly been life changing. I questioned whether ‘working’ was the most appropriate descriptor, but yes, this stuff really can be hard work. It requires effort, it’s emotional, and exhausting at times, but it’s so liberating and freeing in ways I didn’t even think possible. Amy has a rare talent that words will struggle to describe. It’s like there’s a magic lens that looks straight into your soul, which empowers her to bury far beneath the rubbish we convince ourselves to be truth and get to the root of any issue; in essence, the root of you. She has guided and supported me through a journey of discovery and acceptance and helped shift a huge weight that I was carrying, unaware. I’ve never felt more aligned with my true self and heart."   - Jenny - 

"Amy's contribution and perspective is invaluable, especially in a setting like mine where things can become very focused on taking action and making things happen. Prompting people to step back, reflect and give themselves permission to do things in a way that works for them is something Amy does so well!"

"Honestly you've been such a huge help recently...you're a true healer"
