About Amy
Giving yourself to others, either as an educator or caregiver, can have a serious impact on your personal wellness. Partnering with a Life Coach can help you recharge, rebuild, and move forward.
As a licensed school social worker in the Milwaukee area for nearly 15 years, I worked tirelessly in both public and private schools. Throughout my career, a strong desire to break down barriers to learning and to empower students, parents, and families motivated me. Whether facilitating parent workshops, partnering with teachers on potential interventions for students, or working one-on-one with youth, I strived to have collaborative relationships to facilitate change. I worked with others and strived to give my all to everyone everyday. I grew weary.
Then, I had kids! My girls were my world and again I worked tirelessly to be the best mom I could be. Insert the usual daily grind, a side of mom-guilt, a professional work ethic that had me running on fumes, and I was in a losing race.
I was exhausted and burning out on all fronts.
I finally realized that I needed take better care of myself. This led me to explore and experience Life Coaching. Inspired by how coaching helped guide my own self-care journey, I enrolled in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Certified Professional Coach Program in Fall 2019. I received my Certified Professional Coach credentials in May of 2020 and am now licensed by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
