“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.”

“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!”

“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 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
“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
“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 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
“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
“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 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.”
