helping professionals build resilient children and families
I consult with professionals who impact the lives of children by increasing connection and awareness about trauma and resilience so they can help children and families thrive.
Are you ready to next-level transform the lives of the families you work with and decrease burnout for you?
I remember working with a little girl in my office when I was a young resident. She was one of hundreds of traumatized youth I was working with that year. Her treatment goal? To be willing to get her hands dirty. She had been physically beaten and neglected so horribly that she was afraid of making even the smallest mistakes. Day by day, moment by moment, we created an atmosphere of trust. One day, she came into my office with a smile on her face and said, "I'm ready...." She sunk her hands into the gooey, bright pink paint and proceeded to smear the color all over paper. Then I smiled. I took a glop of paint and plopped it on my nose. She giggled with delight. She painted her face, her hands, the paper, my face, my hands.
And then she suddenly stopped. She took a deep breath and said, "I think my heart needed that...."

Curriculum includes the importance of secure relationships – meaning unconditional love, healthy attachments and positive discipline – which transforms their work and creates more resilient families.

— Parent, Attendee at Trauma and Resilience Workshop
“Amy’s workshop was mind blowing. There were so many practical things that no one has ever said to me and I’ve never read anywhere. Too many times, speakers are too perfect and haven’t dealt with the any of the things they are presenting. Amy is real. My husband and I both left her training feeling empowered.”
