“In just a few short months of working with Amber, I have experienced what I can only describe as exponential internal growth. Amber’s unique insight, her attention to the not so obvious, lends to her overall spirit and excellence as a life coach. I am blessed our paths have crossed. She is indeed exceptional.”

Leslie Stephenson, Business Owner, New York, NY

“Amber changed my life! She is an amazing life and career coach! I went to her when I was trying to transition from a job to a job in a new field that I was passionate about (Product Manager @ a B2B company to a PM at a B2C company). Switching jobs is not easy, switching jobs to a different field is DEFINITELY NOT EASY.

Amber met me where I was and gave me support via meditation techniques, networking techniques and frameworks to make my transition. She is an expert in time and energy management (which is a term she taught me!). I successfully made my transition, I got an offer from my dream company (Getaround). I ended up turning them down and started my own business instead & I still use techniques that Amber taught me. She is kind, understanding but still kept me very accountable. Thank you Amber!”

Sunny Dulay, Product Manager, San Francisco, CA

“I worked with Amber to address challenges I was facing as a working mother seeking a life transition. She brought a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me set goals, clarify my values, and explore avenues right away. I appreciate Amber’s versatility as a thought partner, ally, and coach. Our sessions were productive and efficiently run, which is perfect for someone who is juggling many priorities! Amber brings great communication, professionalism and quality to her work.”

Dorian Luey, Associate Director of Philanthropy and mother of two, San Francisco, CA

“After working with Amber over the past year, I was able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself and define my priorities to achieve greater work/life balance, which was having a significant impact on other aspects of my life. With Amber’s supportive coaching style, I was able to gain the confidence and made a significant career move that was long overdue. I’m not sure I would have made the transition without Amber’s know-how, encouragement, and support. Amber is able to span the personal & professional spectrums so seamlessly, it’s like getting two coaches for the price of one. She’s great at understanding the whole person and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to make changes in their life for greater overall satisfaction.”

Corinne Meulrath, Regional Director, Sonoma County Office of Education, Mother of Three, Petaluma, CA

“My experience with Amber was a huge success! I was able to easily identify the areas I wanted to work on and incorporate strategies to feel empowered and move forward. Amber helped me to identify a new mental framework for relationships where I can express what I need without feeling guilty. I feel so much more free! Thanks, Amber. I’m so grateful for your expertise and sensitivity. Thanks also for not letting me off the hook until I reached my goals. You’re the best personal coach out there.”

Christina Smith, Program Specialist Technician, Sonoma County Office of Education, Mother of Four, Santa Rosa, CA

“I’ve been working with Amber for several years now and as a hands-on single father and business owner, I can honestly say that she has added so much to my life. We have worked on all aspects, from being in business with family members to building healthy relationships with my children and my wife-to-be. My communication skills have improved tremendously as well as my self-worth. She gives me perspective on what I’m doing and has helped me understand that I am on a journey to be my true self. I’m grateful for her and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her help and guidance and of course my willingness to try hard.”

Jason Rittenbach, Business Owner, Father of Three, Oakland, CA

“Amber has helped me establish a rhythm in my personal and professional life that I did not know possible. Our sessions are productive, restorative, and incredibly worthwhile. We tackle specific challenges all while keeping in mind my broader goals. I truly feel accomplished after every single call thanks to Amber’s effort to manage our time in the most effective way. Above all, Amber’s ability to connect is why I recommend her wholeheartedly. I can honestly say that I laugh during every session and genuinely look forward to the next. Thank you for your continued support and guidance, Amber!”

Monique Osborne, Restaurant Owner and Mother of Two, San Francisco

“Amber is an exceptional life and career coach. She is a joy to work with due to her professional manner, exceptional communication skills and knowledge about industries. I highly recommend her.”

Neil Shevlin, Senior Solutions Consultant, San Francisco, CA

“I’ve been working with Amber for nine months now. With Amber’s help, I have been able to advocate for my self-worth, gain a work-life balance, and figure out a self-fulfilling career that matches my core values. More importantly, I gained self-confidence. Every day I wake up grateful in every aspect of my life. I have been able to use my intuition, perspective and attitude to navigate through life’s different situations. With Amber’s guidance, I have learned that happiness is a choice that takes a lot of work.”

Elaine Cartas, Fundraising Professional, Los Angeles, CA

“I worked with Amber for over 2 years, first as an executive coach and then as a life/transition coach. I found her to be equally adept in both roles. Amber was particularly effective at adapting to my needs. She used coaching tools when appropriate while always providing a safe place for me to work through challenges and circumstances. She is professional, knowledgeable, respectful, flexible, and a pleasure to work with.”

Dave Medvidofsky CPCU, CRM, CIC, board member, consultant, mentor, community volunteer, Jacksonville, FL

“I’m at a loss for words as to how much you’ve impacted my life, my career and my relationships. You are so worthy of your weight in gold. You’ve given me confidence, clarity and tools. I tell everyone I come across, THIS is what a coach should do. I so look forward to and enjoy our conversations that I’m having a hard time saying goodbye.”

Brenna S., Communications Professional, San Francisco, CA

“I highly recommend Amber as a life and career coach. In our work together focusing on career transition, she’s provided exceptional value in her ability to assess situations quickly and offer concrete tools, processes and plans of action to enable successful growth, change and resilience.”

Tracy Wiseman, Technical/Business Consultant, San Jose, CA

“Working with Amber was a life changing experience. She helped me to reach new heights in my career and to finally succeed at long-standing personal goals. She is extremely personable and has the ability to connect with her clients quickly and to begin work with them at whatever stage they’re in at the time. She is trustworthy, always encouraging, and a patient and insightful guide through life experiences in pursuit of goals and dreams. She also offers good value and high integrity.”

Nanette Mickelson, Business Analyst, San Jose, CA

“I worked with Amber for the past year after struggling to find the next step in my career and to explore the possibility of living abroad. Amber was fantastic. We set objectives for what I wanted to accomplish, identified my values, tackled current work issues and explored future career ideas.  I was so pleased at the structure and focus of each session.  A year later, I can honestly say that I have work/life balance, better non-defensive communication skills, plus I’m on my way to live in Europe.  I highly recommend Amber. She’s the complete package: focused, reflective, practical, productive, and supportive.”

Kerry Philp, Marketing Manager, San Francisco/Rome

“I reached back out to Amber in 2020 when I began contemplating whether it was time for a career change, and received the same high-quality service. She provided multiple resources to explore career options, while simultaneously helping me focus on work-life balance techniques. I’m now well on my way to getting the education and experience needed for my new career, and Amber’s guidance was critical.”

Kerry Philp, Marketing Manager, San Francisco/Rome

“Amber is an amazing life coach. She is very empathic and professional. My sessions with her helped me truly move forward with life. She has a versatile tool box that can help anyone gain clarity, make great change, and create next steps while having a supportive ear by your side.”

Kimberly A., Project Manager, Clayton, CA

“I had 3 sessions with Amber during a time when I had to make an extremely challenging life decision. She helped me weigh all my options and we narrowed in on my strengths and core values to ensure that I incorporated these into my decision as well. She also helped me with my resume and within one day of changing it and applying for a new job, I was immediately asked to come in for an interview, and offered the job the next day.”

Alison B, Customer Support, Mountain View, CA

“After working with Amber, I finally found the job I was waiting for for so long!  They made me a great offer and all of my “non-negotiables” and values were respected and my expectations were exceeded.  Our sessions really helped me to focus on what was important and definitely contributed to me finding a fantastic position.”

Ana Schuster, Research Scientist, San Francisco, CA

“I worked with Amber to discover my leadership style and how I want to show up at work. She is an excellent listener and hones in on key words from my descriptions. Amber gives excellent perspective on work situations, and offers alternative ways to view things. Every session was actionable, and she kept me accountable by assigning homework in which I had to practice using different tools in specific work situations. One particularly impactful session, Amber walked me through a visualization exercise in which I was able to see myself in 6 months, and that gave me a lot of understanding on what I need to do, and how I was going to accomplish my goals. I’ve worked with coaches previously, and none of them came close to the kind of impact that Amber had on me during our time together. Best of all, I didn’t feel like I was talking to a therapist, I felt I was talking to a wise and funny friend. She was completely down to earth, and approachable and I look forward to working with her again.”

Cherie G., Senior UX Designer, San Francisco, CA

“Working with Amber for 8 months was life changing. Going into my mid 40’s I came to her to seek help in building the next chapter in my career. What I didn’t expect is that I needed guidance in my personal life as well. Every session was therapeutic and eye opening, however I had to work at it everyday to see the results and improvements. The homework Amber assigned during each session were relevant to push me forward, to get me to the place I needed to be and feel positive. Amber has a gift to closely listen, she’s able to tap into your inner thoughts and formulate the root cause and suggest ways to work through difficulties. I’ve grown spiritually and healed mentally from our sessions. I’m a better person today through Amber’s dedication and willingness to push me forward even on days I was struggling. Words and expression on this review does not serve justice to what I learned and experienced and to take away permanent positive changes and apply it to my daily life. In addition, Amber helped recreate my cover letter, referral letter, resume and update my LinkedIn page. I was ready and willing to make changes in my life – Amber was there to guide me in the right direction. She impacted my life in ways I did not expect, she provided knowledge and skills her website did not describe; ultimately the sessions were above and beyond my expectations. Amber will be a part of my life as I continue to grow as a person.”

Angela F., Director of Asset Management, Dublin, CA

“I highly recommend Amber for life and career coaching! I was considering a very difficult career decision that involved a lot of risks, and she helped me to organize my thinking and make the right decision for the right reasons. Once I moved out of my old job, she was right there to help me with a variety of different things pertaining to my next career move. She gave me solid advice about resume and cover letter writing, business planning and development, and communication strategies for both job applications and marketing a small business. I am very happy with where I am now, and if (and when) I need coaching again, I will definitely reach out to Amber. I spent significant time shopping for a life and career coach, and I settled on Amber because she seemed to have the most experience and an approach that worked well for me. I would highly recommend her!”

Sam C., San Francisco, CA, Recreation Officer

“I had just 3 sessions with Amber but learned a tremendous amount of skills, techniques and great resources from her for my career development and general work/life balance goals. Amber is reliable, friendly, professional, a great listener, very inquisitive, and really puts you at ease. I enjoyed working with her and look forward to continuing to put everything I learned to practice! I definitely would recommend Amber to anyone.”

Sukhdip P. , Research Associate, Fairfield, CA

“I greatly appreciate your grounded, clear, approach to understanding my ADHD mind and your help distilling and calendaring my action items so I don’t get anxious and give into procrastination!”

Jennifer Hodges, Head of Corporate Communications, Palo Alto, CA

“Thank you so much, Amber!  Everything has been going so well for me since our first session. I got the raise I wanted at work and I realize how much more confidence I have. I wake up grateful everyday with a big smile on my face.”

E.C., Fundraising, Los Angeles, CA

“I can’t tell you how amazing this process has been for me. I’ve come so far since we first started working together—I barely recognize the woman I was—and I owe a great deal of that to you.”

Stacy Karol, Professional Life Coach, San Francisco, CA

“I interviewed a few other coaches and was put off by how much they talked and how little they listened! Amber really knows how to listen. She has such a patient, grounded, yet totally engaged way of working. She was able to give me all the space I needed to think out loud (which is how I work through problems and dilemmas) and offered just the right amount of inquiry, support and encouragement to keep me chugging along. In my work with Amber, I was able to identify my goals, narrow my focus and generate a ton of cool ideas which I am now plugging away at with great results.”

Stephanie Morgan, Therapist, San Francisco, CA

“As a business owner, I need support sometimes on the emotional side of things, and sometimes the practical. Have had a couple sessions with Amber, one a coaching session to help sort out some emotional issues affecting my business; and a consulting session to help me expand marketing ideas for my business. In both sessions she was extremely helpful! She seems quite comfortable and competent working in the different roles of coach and consultant, easily navigating the emotional and practical. Even a couple sessions has made a big difference for me!”

Gayle Olson, Business Owner, San Francisco, CA

“I worked with Amber in the spring of 2017. I had a goal to move overseas, but was stuck, not believing I really could do it. She helped me create a plan that moved me into action and fueled my desire and excitement. I will be moving overseas next month! Amber was a great sounding board and offered insight I was not able to see on my own. A wonderful experience.”

Patricia B., Project Manager, San Francisco

“I worked with Amber during a big transition time in my life. I was deciding between a career shift and going to graduate school. She helped me focus in on what I’d like to contribute to the world and navigate balancing work and personal commitments. Amber is a great listener and was able to reflect back to me my own experience. I can especially recommend working with Amber if you are at a point of transition in life and want someone who is action-oriented.”

Justina Cross, Program Director, Berkeley, CA

“I saw Amber for three sessions last year. I really had no idea what I was aiming for, except finding a new path for myself, and Amber helped me steer myself toward a new future for myself and then helped me find a way to tell my bosses at my current job about this new path. As long as you’re willing to put in the work for what you want to accomplish, she can get you there. Amber is incredibly professional and friendly — I honestly think that in the future, I would see her with any professional development needs.”

Cassie B., Copy Editor, San Francisco

“In the past four plus years, Amber has helped me work through two work layoffs, some serious financial problems, more than a few relationship breakups and family issues. She has helped me to restore my self-confidence and “positivity” on numerous occasions and to realize that I DO have wonderful qualities which help me to contribute to the world I live in. Thank you, Amber, for helping me be the person I am today!”

Gaelen Harber, Customer Relations Manager, Mountain View, CA

“Working with Amber was a wonderful experience! She really helped me in a time of transition to balance my family and professional goals. When we completed our work together, I found myself much more grounded in my values and confident about pursuing my professional goals. I highly recommend her services for anyone wanting career or life coaching. Again, thank you for taking the time to work with me, Amber. I’m very grateful!”

Emily Hittle, Non-Profit Web Manager and Mother of Two, San Francisco, CA

“I can’t recommend Amber highly enough. I was introduced to Amber when my husband bought me a package with her for Christmas. I wasn’t quite sure what a ‘Life Coach’ would do for me but I soon realized that she was transforming the way I not only did things but how I thought of myself. She has helped me with tangible aspects in my personal and professional life that would not have developed without her guidance. As a mother and business owner I have found Amber to be a great asset to helping me with the areas I would like to improve. She listens to what my goals are and helps me develop achievable ways to tackle them so that I can make them happen. From this experience I have found new paths that have opened up because of her style of coaching. I believe that she has enriched my life which makes it a pretty darn good Christmas present!”

Amy Osborn, Business Owner and Mother of Two, Walnut Creek, CA

“Juggling 3 kids, two cross-continental moves in two years AND a writing career became a lot more manageable once I started working with Amber. Although I certainly don’t always get it right, I can now identify much more quickly what’s most important even if that task wasn’t on my original to do list. Working with Amber, I also have learned to set boundaries which are mine alone to erect or relax: a very important skill given that the hardest task for me as a mom/writer is taking care of the kids but making sure I am also taking care of me so I can do my best by them. I also now give myself credit for my successes big and small whereas before Amber I tended to see all the things I hadn’t achieved. Acknowledging those successes puts everything in a better light.”

Suzanne McFayden Smith, Professional Writer and Mother of Three, Austin, TX

“Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful service to working mothers. You’re a great coach and I deeply value the time we’ve spent together and the progress you’ve helped me make in my life. I wouldn’t be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without your support. I’ve made more progress with you in the last 2 months than I made in 2 years of therapy.”

Joanne Stewart, Geography/Wildlife Project Manager. Mother of One, Glasgow, MT

“I really have found our coaching sessions VERY helpful. I have to thank you for helping me find my way back to a balanced life.”

Jennifer Acquaah, Payments Strategist, Mother of Two, Aurora, ON, Canada

Corinne Meulrath, Regional Director, Sonoma County Office of Education, Mother of Three, Petaluma, CA

“Thank you for coaching me toward my dreams…you’ve helped me grow into a woman who is embracing what I really want in life. Thanks for making the world a better place!”

Jenna Chambers Burrow, Publisher, Mother of Three, Hutto, TX

“This is my second time working with Amber. Amber helped me identify and attain a dream fellowship following graduate school. Now, many years later, she is helping me navigate a mid-career transition. This has involved helping to identify dream jobs, sharpen my resume/interview skills, outreach to potential employers, and navigate tricky situations that come up in the current workplace. Amber is an excellent listener and provides invaluable advice and accountability to help vision and attain what you want at different points in your career. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

L.B., San Francisco, CA, Environmental Scientist

“I have worked with Amber on and off over the last year. Being a coach myself I am picky to say the least and I highly recommend her! Amber was particularly helpful when it came to taking actionable steps to better understand who my customer base is, how to market to them and how to be more strategic about how I use my time. I highly recommend Amber if you need help with strategy and taking action!”

Mariella D, Professional Wellness Coach, New York, NY

“Amber is fantastic. What makes her great is she is very calm and she kept me focused. I enjoyed the homework she has given me because I succeed best when I am held accountable. I would highly recommend anyone to Amber who is truly serious about making a change in their life / career.”

Tiney R, Dementia Behavior Health Consultant, Columbus, GA

“Amber was great! I came to her with a personal and professional dilemma and was well on my way to making a decision when the pandemic happened. Priorities shifted and we ended up tackling some habits that I wanted to change and inefficiencies in my career. It’s an ongoing process, but I can definitely say that my sessions with Amber opened up my eyes to new possibilities and kept me honest with my goals. Totally recommend!”

Kessler K., Software Engineer, San Francisco, CA

“Amber uses her humor, compassion, and direct nature to help bring out the best in me. She is committed to helping me live…I mean, really live, life to its fullest.”

Jason Rodriguez, Small Business Owner, Los Angeles, CA

Letty B., (Former) Graduate Student, Berkeley, CA

Amber’s great personality along with her compelling presentation skills makes her one of the most effective guest speakers.”

Hamid Saadat, Founder and Chairman of the Board, CSIX Connect

“Amber is down to earth, intelligent, funny, cool and, most of all, a great listener! Working with her was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. She will see beyond your limits and guide you to greatness. If you are seeking change in your career or personal life or even just elevating your current game to new heights, you owe it to yourself to reach out to Amber. While there are many life coaches to choose from, I doubt you’re going to find one better than Amber.”

Frank Oliviera, General Contractor, Livermore, CA

“I truly enjoyed working with Amber on two occasions. She is such a calm and well organized person. She is always present at the moment and very in tune with people when she does her presentations. She is very observing and has a keen way of engaging with her audience. She is skillful on what she does as a Life and Career Coach and would love to work with her again in the future.”

Fides Magisa, Executive Assistant/Office Manager at Federal Judiciary, San Francisco, CA

“Amber is an engaging, focused and energetic speaker who consistently produces overwhelmingly positive feedback from our members. There’s always a waiting list to get into Amber’s presentations and we enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend her as a speaker for your group.”

Vidya Kaif, Founder of Women’s Professional Association, Mother of Two, San Francisco, CA

“Before and after surveys show that Amber’s workshops increase employee job satisfaction, morale and productivity. With such an impressive return on investment, we now offer ongoing quarterly workshops and follow-up one-on-one coaching with Amber. Amber is a stellar presenter and coach and we’re lucky to have found her.”

“(The) workshop was fun, enjoyable and informative.”

Connie Cook, U.S. Probation Officer, LCSW, United States District Court

“I worked with Amber in weekly phone appointments for several months. I was looking for a life coach, because I wanted help transitioning out of a career that left me feeling chronically overwhelmed. In our appointments, Amber helped me to unravel that there was much more than just work contributing to my unsustainable lifestyle, including worries about family health issues, etc. She helped me to identify the issues I can control, the issues I can influence, and what is out of my hands. She also helped me to identify my core values. At first I was somewhat dismissive or reluctant to get into conversations about core values, because I was looking for specific strategies to get into a different line of work (eg. networking, etc.), and the core values conversation seemed too intangible to be helpful. However, Amber helped me to see that identifying core values is a necessary first step in order to ensure that any changes I make in my career, personal life, etc. will actually bring me satisfaction with my life.

“I worked with Amber last year, which was my first time working with a coach. Amber definitely exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely work with her again. She listened to what I needed but also provided me with direction and gave me tools to work with.”
