Ama is eager to help adults & teens find ways to feel more alive, empowered, and focused, navigating obstacles like anxiety with compassion & techniques to improve quality of life.

She has traveled/lived in over 25 countries. Originally born in southern California, she spent most of her young adult life in Boise, Idaho. She spent the past 17 years in WA State, mostly on the San Juan Island, and currently resides in Bend, Oregon. Ama loves everything outdoors and spends her free time open water swimming, paddle boarding, biking, skiing, running & exploring the world.
