I create spaces where people unleash their passions and are rewarded for it.

 

My life heading, my purpose, is creating spaces that cultivate connection and worth so that everyone can unleash their unique ideas and talents in the world and be rewarded for it.

In my daily life, I look for joy in movement, preferably in the outdoors, and ways to grow and deepen my connection with my VIPs. I am working on my tendency to overdo it, so above all else, I strive for a balance between doing, being, and feeling.

My start in coaching came in the world of martial arts. Today, I teach clients to leverage those same mindful, purposeful ways of being and doing to transform their futures, including their health, well-being, finances, and relationships. Since 2020, in my holistic life and transformation coaching work, I have helped groups and clients leverage the disruptive gift of the pandemic and its aftereffects to shake up the systems that were holding them back from greater impact and fulfillment. I believe that each person’s unique, cumulative life experiences are the exact building blocks of their most well-lived, meaning-filled future. 

I love that teaching gigs find me wherever I go, and I love getting to offer support and guidance in my areas of expertise borne of living, striving, and struggling. This includes 20+ years as a successful entrepreneur and a diverse academic background in Business and Women’s and Gender Studies. On the regular, I teach Marketing in the University of Montana College of Business as well as martial arts and Empowerment Self-Defense.

I’m most excited about my newest project, The I’m Feeling That Podcast, which aims to build stronger bonds in the community by sharing my recorded conversations with folks who are self-actualizing through idea actualization. I’m Feelin’ That taps on the heartstrings by highlighting the messy struggle of scrappy doers on their way up and up.

I want to help every person I work with name, hone, and be valued for bringing their ideas to life. Our best way of working together might be in a coaching relationship, accountability partnership, or at-your-own pacing courses. It all starts with a conversation. Let’s chat!

Amanda helped me gain traction by providing direction on steps I could take to get moving forward . She also boosted my confidence by sharing resources, listening and empathizing with me, and generally being an awesome coach who showed me my innate value, even when I couldn't see it myself.

I felt like we were personal friends because she always remembered and linked in details about the business I'm forming. Nothing was generic; it was all specific to my needs. I appreciate that! You tend to trust someone you know is listening.

Amanda has been a terrific ally in helping me get my business launched. She's extremely knowledgeable in the nuts and bolts of general business management and has helped me get past some deep-seated emotional hurdles. Also, her rates are more than fair. I truly can't recommend her more
