WELCOME TO THE ADVENTURE!
Each of us is a “beautifully complicated” product of the unique experiences that have shaped us over the course of our lives.
These experiences are inevitable, yet most of us lack the tools and knowledge we need to understand and integrate life’s happenings and hiccups. As a result, we find ourselves feeling “off” - to varying degrees of disruption and consequence.
Welcome Human offers a menu of approaches - stemming from therapeutic coaching, ketamine therapy and sound healing - designed to empower you with what you need to navigate your unique human adventure with as much grace and agency as possible.
I look forward to exploring with you!
“Amy has helped me be more creative, thinking out of the box and dreaming big. We have been working on finding my voice, following my dreams and sharing my unique gifts with the world. Amy blends together all of her training, creativity and expertise into a unique form of coaching that is 100% her’s (not something anyone else can offer). Her combination of words, feelings and sounds is an incredibly rich combo.”

“Amy is an extraordinary guide who has truly helped me to find myself. I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without her support and insights. She's hands down the best person I've ever worked with and is guiding me through an incredibly transformative period in my life.”
welcome HUMAN IS AN INVITATION to…
Love the “Both/&” of Who You Are
The desire of Welcome Human is to offer a fresh approach to therapy and coaching as it exists today. Both of these models focus on fixing you. Changing you. Getting rid of the parts of you don’t want any more. Reaching an ideal you’ve imagined that, when reached, will finally allow you to feel happy.
After years of buying into the promises of perfection, I grew weary. During a low moment, I wrote a poem called “Both/&” in which I embraced the “both/and” of who I am - messy and methodical, powerful and powerless, sometimes loathing of myself, other times in love with myself.
Welcoming - versus shunning - all of who I am gave me a needed sense of relief.
Understand Yourself
At the same time, through my professional development and practice, I realized were some “human basics” my clients didn’t know, that would be useful.
One example is knowing how your “human technology” works. How the function of your brain and body evolved for two reasons: Protection and Connection. These were the drivers of survival when we were cave people - being on alert for predators and doing things in in community. They are the reason we are here today.
In our modern world, the primal need for safety and belonging are still constantly at play. This explains how we went from being a newborn, full of wonder and infinite potential, to the beautifully complicated person we are today. From the moment we are born, we are shaped by the environment around us. In our efforts to be seen, accepted and loved, experiences that either affirm or deny these primal needs become our guideposts for moving through life - for better, for worse.
Embrace All of Your Humanity
Thanks to neuroplasticity, we can shift learned tendencies that get in our way, if we want to. But first, we must know what they are and where they came from. And we must greet these tricky parts of ourselves with as much love and compassion as possible. They are truly innocent, formed in an attempt to keep you safe - even if they are keeping you in a loop of suffering.
This is a small sample of the Welcome Human perspective, and our view that a deeper understanding of your inevitable human-ity can be your superpower. You have everything you need to seize the adventure. You are and always will be infinite potential.
Welcome Human.
“Working with Amy has been impactful and refreshing. I like how knowledgeable she is, but also that she is real and authentic. This gives me permission to be the same. I’m more at peace with who I am - both my gifts, and the parts that feel more challenging. I embrace them all.”
