Supporting people in transforming difficult life transitions to uncover, discover & recover your true SELF.
Uncover
What’s standing in your way?
Reveal the hidden blocks that keep you from living with daily joy,
peace, and ease. Often, it’s not what’s happening around you—
it’s what’s buried within.
Discover
What are you ready to let go of?
Release the negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, and emotional
patterns that keep you trapped in cycles of self-judgment,
criticism, and sabotage.
Recover
Who were you before the world told you who to be?
Reconnect with your true self—the part of you buried under
years of conditioning and silenced by that inner voice saying,
"You're not enough."
"You don't matter."
"You don't deserve better."
These are not your truths. They're blocks you’re ready to release..
Finally, feel free to be the authentic YOU.
Because you’ve always been enough—now it’s time to live like it!
Why Life Coaching?
Have you ever wanted a guide-by-your-side to help you navigate life's journeys - the forks in the road, the U-turns and the dead-ends? Life coaching is a powerful way to clear what's blocking you from realizing your dream life.
I help people uncover the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck—like people-pleasing, self-sabotage, self-doubt and perfectionism—and guide them through a process of emotional healing, self-discovery, and personal empowerment. Through coaching, we work to release limiting beliefs, reclaim lost parts of the self, and reconnect with who you truly are and want to be —beyond the roles and expectations. It’s about no longer just surviving but truly thriving as your most authentic self.
SELF-Exploration
Transformation begins with awareness. When you pause to notice your negative thought patterns—how you react, stories you tell yourself, and loops where old beliefs still hold power—you step into choice instead of autopilot. SELF-Awareness becomes the foundation for every other change.
SELF-Care
Healing requires nourishment. By tending to your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, you create the stability and energy needed to move forward. The basics of healthy nourishment, exercise, sleep and stress-relief are the building blocks for a healthy emotional state. SELF-Care isn’t indulgence—it’s essential to honoring your body’s needs and refilling your cup.
SELF-Determination
Freedom comes from consistency. Through grounded daily practices, accountability, and commitment, SELF-Discipline builds the structure that supports your growth. It’s the willingness and the presence of mind to respond differently than your conditioned, default mode, often doing the opposite of what you would usually do.
Six Pillars of SELF-Recovery
SELF-Compassion
Lasting change doesn’t come from judgment or shame. SELF-Compassion is the courage to meet yourself with kindness, patience, and forgiveness at every stage of the journey—even when you slip back into old patterns. It softens the inner critic and nurtures a voice of understanding, encouragement, and hope. Through self-forgiveness, you create space for healing and allow yourself to grow without the weight of the past.
SELF-Expression
SELF-Expression is the key to recovering and empowering your authenticity. No more hiding or people-pleasing. By learning to communicate openly and honestly, you create deeper connection and emotional safety in relationships. Expression becomes the bridge between your inner truth and outer connection.
SELF-Trust
The deepest freedom comes from letting go. SELF-Trust is the willingness to release control, surrender outcomes, and developing your ability to hear and listen to your intuition. Choosing faith over fear and relinquishing control over people and outcomes frees you up to control the only thing you can: yourself. Trusting yourself—and life—creates space for clarity, healing, and peace.

Working with Guide By Your Side has changed the way I navigate through life. Through Somatic practices and releases, Amy has guided me through letting go of limiting beliefs and conditioning that have held me back my entire life. I am finding my true self outside of family and society's domestication. I am finding MY truth and living in that with more joy, confidence and groundedness.

With the benefit of Amy's guidance and coaching I've been able to not only navigate some difficult times, but also learn about myself and grow as a person. She showed me that I can love myself without judgement, which for many of us can be a very difficult thing. Her gentle and humanistic approach to life guidance is just what I needed to help find peace, beauty and dignity in this often chaotic and confusing world.
