Compassionate Movement Forward, Together
As a coach and trainer, Amber uses the teachings of NVC, clinical psychology, and social work, specifically the Liberation Health model, to work with you in creating compassion for yourself and others. Amber supports you in mobilizing compassion to meet your goals, experience less internal and external conflict, and feel more fulfilled in your relationships with yourself, loved ones, and community. Amber believes that working with a coach can contribute to movement forward, especially if you feel stuck in your self-work or work in psychotherapy. In training sessions, Amber aims to create a sense of belonging, community, and working together. Training curricula are customized to each group, but NVC basics, empathy, and compassionate and effective relationships are core focuses of most sessions.

- Therapists, social workers, teachers, and other helping professionals and practitioners

- Small groups with intimate connections, including friends, families, polycules, and roommates
