This is where overwhelm ends…
and true joyful resilience begins.
I believe
Hi, I’m Amy and I Believe Alignment is Key to Everything You Want In Life.
I absolutely LOVE the work I get to do. I truly get to change the lives of women with my programs and coaching. Then those women show up differently at home and it indirectly changes the lives of their kids…. This is everything to me.
As a corporate executive, MBA, and founder of a franchise, I considered myself to be smart and powerful.
Yet I found myself in a narcissistic relationship. The relationship didn’t start that way. At first, it was so sweet and magical; nice dinners out, fun trips together, he was so charismatic. I thought I had found the one.
Slowly, without even noticing, I stopped asking for what I needed and defaulted to him in most decisions. I could feel that I was allowing my voice to be dimmed. But I didn’t know how to change it or where to start.
Though I couldn’t name it or see it clearly at the time, even though I was so accomplished in my work, I never truly took the time to get to know myself, to learn what it meant to be in integrity with who I was and what my wants and needs were.
If I’m being truly honest, I didn’t even know who I was.
I experienced full on anxiety attacks, but was too afraid to get professional help. I wasn’t sure if they would take my son away if I admitted how I was actually feeling. I just continued pushing down my emotions with an evening bottle of wine just to get through the life I was living.
But it wasn’t always this way for me.
I knew things had to change.
Finally, during a business trip, I ended up in the hospital. There were no rooms available, so I was placed in the hallway like an afterthought. It was such a great reflection of how I felt on the inside.
I sat there thinking; I’m on a f*@king business trip, AWAY from my son, trying to keep my sh*t together. How the heck did I get here?
In that moment, I knew things had to change.
I took a few conventional routes to healing. I tried talk therapy and I had even been to a local women's program but… what really began to shift things for me (and saved my life) was walking in nature.
It was a place I felt free in my body. I felt like I could gain some control. And most importantly, the emotions which I had stuffed deep down for so long began rolling from my eyes with each step I took on the trail.
Each time I put on my runners and went into nature I was saying YES to myself. I created a mantra for myself, ‘Amy you are strong and powerful’. I said it over and over and over until I actually started to believe it and LIVE it.
I stopped giving my power away and for the first time in a long time, I felt true joy. I felt proud of myself for overcoming such a dark time in my life.
Everyone in my life even said I looked different. They could see that I sparkled from the inside and not just going through the motions in survival mode.
I got my autoimmune disease under control, (which can happen during periods of intense stress) and even lost weight… from being HAPPY!
I made a promise to myself, I won’t let someone control my emotions like that ever again.
I knew that I had to show up differently.
Finally, or maybe for the first time, I felt WHOLE, ENOUGH, and STRONG.
I know my power.
The work that I get to do with women just like you matters more than ever. You are raising the future generation and are the pillar of your family.
I want you to feel empowered, know your truth, to feel JOY because not only will that change your life, it will change the life of your kids too.
For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion to build community and empower women.
On a personal level, I know movement SAVED my life and I want to help other women heal through walking + nature.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. I hope this is just the beginning of our relationship.

Now a bit about you
I want you to know that anyone can join a “learn-to-run” program. They are everywhere and pretty inexpensive. However, Movement and Mantras™ is not just about the act of simply running. It’s the act of healing through movement that is at the core of what I live and teach.
The mindset workbook I share with you, will take you through the important life changing work like setting boundaries, uncovering and reframing your self-limiting beliefs. Once you learn the tools, you will have them to use forever. Because as you know life will always have challenges, it’s how you navigate them that matters.
If you’re ready to step on the trail with me, CLICK HERE to get started. I’m lacing up my runners now and I’ll see you there.
I am ready.

Mentally, I had a lot on my plate and didn’t realize how badly I needed support
Afterward, I thought, wow, this program changed my life! I was a lot calmer, and I even slept better. I doubted myself at first, but with Amy’s guidance, I learned that I can trust my body, step by step.”
