About Amy Briggs

I love nothing more than sitting with another human being, learning about who they are, and exploring where they want to go. I have experienced a lot of change: divorce in my late 30s, dating in my 40s, remarriage in my 50s, career changes, multiple cross-country moves, deaths of loved ones, and losses of friendships. My teacher Melissa Tiers calls these kinds of life experiences ‘graduate school’. I don’t disagree.

In my mid-40s, my personal quest to find more congruence - a life in which who I am on the outside matches who I am on the inside - led me to step away from a successful 25+ year musical career to become an integrative coach. In integrative coaching, we work with all of you…both your conscious and unconscious mind. It’s your unexamined unconscious thoughts, beliefs, memories and conditioning that can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsatisfied with where you are now. As we shine a light on what’s underneath the surface, we begin to make the unconscious conscious. As an integrative coach, I love helping my clients have breakthroughs that open the doors to lasting change.

I am especially drawn to working with women - including those in midlife, menopause or perimenopause. I love working with anyone at a transitional point…anyone making or considering a life change.

My coaching blends Somatic Experiencing®, neural reprogramming and hypnosis. I am Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed.

My trainings and certifications include:

  • Certified Professional Coach and Master Certified Professional Coach - Certified Life Coach Institute

  • Integrative Change Worker - Ethical Coaching Collective

  • Member of International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT)

  • Somatic Experiencing® student, working toward Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) Certification - Dr. Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing International

  • I am enrolling in the Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling at Adams State University (Fall 2025)

I’m a member of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. A premier association for wellness practitioners

What My Clients Are Saying

  • Madeline

    “Finding Amy's coaching was exactly what I needed and came at a time of transition and confusion. Working with her gave me a future-focused, empowering 3 months to help me gain much more self-compassion, explore my superpowers, and align myself with my values to gain clarity on what I really want out of life. She also gave me skills, feedback, and tools to continue to work on these things beyond our sessions. It was the best investment I could have made.”

  • Nadia

    “Working with Amy was a truly transformative experience. In each of our four sessions together, I learned new tools that I am still using. Amy listened to me deeply, never pushing an agenda but discovering what was present for me in order to make suggestions and get me to try things out. Not only did I get very clear about my priorities, but I was able to reconnect in such a visceral way with the joy and wonder that originally brought me to what I do for a living. 1000% recommend coaching with Amy.”

  • Catherine

    “Amy has an outlook that invites you to have curiosity in the ways in which you are appearing in the world. Her exercises and discussions are enjoyable and thought provoking and stay with you long after the session is over. I have some of the concepts we discussed written as notes that I refer to often. I felt as though she helped me to new and inspiring perspectives.”

  • Fredrica

    “Amy is a fabulous coach. She's a skilled listener and she helped me move some rocks out of my path, helped me to have a vision for what's ahead and to value who I am - to claim my best self.”

  • Michael

    “Working with Amy was such a positive experience! She helped me get through a difficult period with some exceptionally useful tools and a very kind and empathetic heart. I now feel empowered and confident in taking on the challenges that lie ahead! Thanks, Amy!”

  • Fiona

    “Working with Amy was wonderful. She is so calm, respectful, and supportive. She guides each session kindly with questions and reflection. Working with Amy helped shift my perspective on my approach to work and life!”

  • Laura

    “Amy's coaching is highly personalized and adaptive to each individual's unique situation. She is patient, kind, and understanding. She has truly made a difference in my life and in my ability to better understand and handle my emotions and has provided endless opportunities for a more centered and grounded life. Thank you Amy!”

  • Kat

    “It’s truly a pleasure working with Amy. She listens intuitively and guides our sessions with kindness and patience. Each coaching interaction leaves me pleasantly surprised at how we accomplish my goals with such ease and grace. Amy genuinely likes people and her coaching is a gift.”

  • C.

    “I went into my session with you with such heavy, blah, can’t see a way out of this energy, and at the end of the session I was so sad I had something else to do, cause I felt so energized and had so many ideas! You literally poured new life into me, and I have no idea how, but thank you. I can’t quite articulate how powerful it was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time when all felt hopeless af ❤”

  • Stephanie

    “5 gold stars for Amy Briggs! It is so easy to talk and connect with Amy, and as a concert pianist and ultra marathoner, there is no better person to help you define, set and work toward goals. During my sessions with Amy my goal was to imagine 'my next act'. At 53 I felt stuck -- I've lived many of my dreams and struggled to imagine if I had any left. A welcome surprise was the information she shared about how the brain, emotion and belief are interconnected. Having that science base built my trust in the process. Each week I would bring a topic to explore. During several of our 8 sessions Amy would guide 2 -10 minute 'imagining' or 'mind quieting' exercises ...her questions and prompts were so brilliantly crafted --- each time I connected to an essential underlying belief or powerful emotion that I'd think about all week until our next session. It has been a few months since we completed our sessions yet the insights and questions continue to impact my life in powerful ways. I am getting aware of the amount of free real estate I give to my thoughts about injustices or mistreatments. Injustices happen, but we allow ourselves to relive the pain by inviting them into our headspace (hours and hours and hours). I am also experiencing how one person can transform a relationship. I love her questions on Facebook and look forward to joining one of her themed groups. Amy is the real deal; I am so thankful for my work with her.”

    “Our session was really beautiful. You helped me tap back into a spiritual alignment I’d felt disconnected from for a while which was really special. (And seemingly effortless?!)”
