What makes me different from other coaches? I use a Flexible Coaching method! That looks like:
1.One Intro Session where I listen to your story and create a personalized plan of action for you during a 1 HR video call
2.I introduce one key principle and accompanying action to take via a 15 minute video or voice call
3.We check in with each other every weekday via voice message (only takes 3-5 minutes!)
4.Once you feel you have mastered that key change, we move on to the next part of your personal plan
5.Repeat until your previous difficulty becomes a peaceful part of your life that you know exactly how to handle!
This means no scheduling huge blocks of time to speak with me - you can reach out whenever it's convenient to you, and I get back to you within 24 hours! This is much easier to accomplish as busy parents, and creates more consistency, accountability, and access for you. Anytime you need a longer call just say the word - we will make it happen!

What They Say
Amy is very thoughtful and intentional with her efforts to help me set boundaries with my children. I feel she is very knowledgeable and it's easy to see her passion in helping others by sharing.
Her suggestions have helped me build a closer and more positive relationship with my children. It has also allowed me to be a more confident mom by respecting my time and energy with improved boundaries. I feel like her knowledge is very versatile for different situations.
I would recommend her to others who may want some extra guidance of the best parenting lessons we have learned from Amy was to give young children autonomy to empower them to trust themselves.
It's been very freeing for us to learn that we can trust our son to make decisions for himself when he is in school and other social settings.

David and Xiyue, parents of 1
My husband & I are very happy…We signed up for this specifically to learn about how to get a better hold of our son’s picky eating.
[We learned] about the importance of consistency and framing meals in a different light. Although our son remains picky, we feel better about his choices and how we can manage those together.
[We learned it’s] not about solving an issue right away, but rather getting to the root cause of something and understanding why we react/behave the way we do & how to adjust to build better relationships/communication.

Striving to Bring Serenity Back
My Story
Hello, I'm Amy!
I have been married to my husband Mike for 13 years, and we have 3 kids together. With a decade of experience in the worlds of psychology, music education, and parenting coaching, I am passionate about helping overwhelmed parents and business owners find their way to a more peaceful and purpose driven life.
I curated this specific set of knowledge and skills after my husband had to work out of state for several months without me and the kids. The solo parenting was exhausting and I ended up having a major breakdown after becoming overwhelmed trying to “balance” everything. One day someone I confided my frustrations to pointed out that I wasn’t keeping healthy boundaries with my kids. I realized they were right - I knew better! That was why I felt so out of control and powerless. But why was it so easy for me to forget what I have learned while studying for my Psychology degree?
I realized it was because of all of the mixed messages we get about parenting -
don’t be too harsh but don’t be too gentle either, be forgiving but don’t let them walk all over you, have clear rules but you have to know when to make exceptions, get them to do all their chores but also make time to spend with each of your kids everyday one on one, oh and feed them organic home-cooked meals while also spending 3 hours outside everyday and getting 8 hours of sleep for yourself…overwhelmed yet??? I sure was! Even with my degree, and even after reading stacks of parenting books and magazines and reading online blogs and watching interviews with experts, I felt like there was no clear step by step process…couldn’t someone just create like a guideline? Some step-by-step instructions gosh darn it??
So I decided to make them myself!
I worked hard for months researching, and created a parenting my first parenting course. I helped several clients one on one too! But in this harsh economy, a lot of people couldn’t afford my prices even though they wanted my help. And I realized that this wasn’t what I wanted - I want to help as many people as possible to have a clear, straightforward understanding of the basic principles of parenting so they feel empowered and confident in how to help their children become good humans.
That leads us to my new hybrid approach - courses or coaching, or both! The best part is that the principles I teach in the courses and coaching are eternal! They work for all ages (and all relationships) because they are based on the bedrock principles (that I wished they taught us in school so we could be successful in all our relationships in life)!
I am so excited to have you join our community of parents looking for straightforward answers and clear expectations of what being a good parent means!
I am so happy to welcome you to our loving and supportive family!
With Gratitude,
Amy Richards
