We have been involved in many of these different types of calls over the past several months and I will say that Amy has been the most impactful speaker I have experienced. Wow, she was amazing – really great information, tools, and strategies.

Corby Wine & Spirits

Thank you for hosting one of the most realistic and informative sessions to date on the impact of the pandemic on the MH [mental health] of our employees and families.

You were exactly what our team needed today and shared what they needed to hear.

It is incredibly refreshing to hear from an expert as authentic and direct as yourself – too much ‘polish’ is one of the old-school hazards of connecting in a corporate environment, and I think it’s pretty clear that more and more, people are ready for something real.

I found the personalized and non-clinical approach to therapy very beneficial. It helped me lower my guard and really trust that I wouldn’t be judged or forced to try coping strategies or recommendations I wasn’t comfortable with.

Amy has a strong ability to grasp the weight and scope of a condition. Her questions are asked in a way that gets to the heart of the issue. She is not afraid to ask hard questions and makes clients feel heard and cared for. Her intensity to get to the heart of a problem makes clients feel like they are worth something.

I learned a lot about myself and my underlying behaviours. I learned how to accept myself for who I am.

This was our most well-attended webinar. 99% of participants stated the session was a good use of their time. 95% said they learned new strategies to apply to improve their mental health.

Amy is positive, realistic, supportive, and feisty enough to push me and challenge me. I need someone who will help me excel and she provides that support. I always feel relieved or better after speaking with her and find that she works with my preferences and can handle anything that I bring.

The webinar session was very well done and very informative and helpful. I think it is so helpful to continue to speak to people about putting their health first.
