LiFE stands for Live Fully and Excel - which is what I strive to support you to do through my coaching services!
As a behavior change expert with over 10 years of experience supporting social and behavioral change in others and myself, I know how to support you to achieve your goal - that is, if you are willing to commit to the process! We are going to meet you where you are at currently and support you to make small, sustainable changes that will allow you to not only achieve your goal - may that be to destress, achieve weightloss, or perhaps is more career or skill focused - but sustain it for life. My ultimate goal is to support you to live your best life, fully.
Regardless of what your goal may be or which coaching service you feel is best for you, we will use a “whole-life” approach that is both trauma informed and sensitive throughout the coaching sessions. This means that we are not going to look at your goals in a siloed manner, but ensure that all aspects of your life, including career, lifestyle, beliefs and values, relationships, and health are considered in achieving your goals in the best way for you that acknowledges and works through any potential triggers you may have due to past trauma and or difficulties.
What is LiFE?
Hi, I’m Amanda!
I am a social and behavior change expert with over 10 years experience working in global health and broader
international development, including coaching professionals across all levels of the global health system to improve
social and behavioral outcomes, patient advocacy and rights, human centered care, and gender equity and social
inclusion.
In my early 30s, I burnt out. But to be honest, the signs of burnout had already started almost 10 years earlier.
Instead of listening to my body, I pushed harder - in work, exercise, socializing, and more. This resulted in a crash - a
big one. My body shut down, my brain short circuited, and for over a year I could focus on nothing more than my
healing and recovery. It was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me.
Once I reached rock bottom, I realized I needed to change and to do so I had to set some tough boundaries (for
others but mostly for myself), re-evaluate and define my self, values, what truly brings me joy, and the life I wanted
to live. In order to live fully and excel, I needed to change and in order to change, I needed to take my time, start
small and see the growth and change over time. I had to deal with my past, beliefs, traumas, values, and own self-
worth.
Throughout my recovery journey, I felt frustrated by the lack of knowledge and resources available surrounding
fitness, nutrition, stress, burnout, and trauma - and I decided I wanted to bridge those gaps with my life coaching
services that focus on mind and body. As a trauma survivor, my coaching services are trauma-sensitive and informed
so that we minimize stress and anxiety throughout the experience.
I designed Live Fully and Excel (LiFE) coaching services to utilize on a ‘whole-life’ approach, meaning that we will
look at your goal through a wide lens, ensuring that we factor in all the realities of your current life, lifestyle, mental
and physical health, social network, and more to identify and navigate the best path to achieving your goal.
