MEET AMBER

oh wonderful!

about-amber-1

Hello! I'm Amber.

Welcome to my little home on the internet, my fellow sparkly, bubbly, awesome human!

I poetically call myself an Alchemist, but others call me a Cosmic Fairy Godmother. 

Serving and helping my clients, course participants, community, friends and family with genuine care and empathy is what lights me up.

I'm known for my boundless happy energy, my ability to sprinkle joy, and my high-level enthusiasm for life, just like sunshine !

But most of all, my belief in the magic of the universe!

It's my calling to help women and men recapture joie de vivre, and feel ALIVE, just like when we were kids.

I'm equally passionate about helping people 'fire up their creative spark', AND make space in their world for joy-filled 'playtime' - the PG AND non-PG versions of course 😉

My magic is shifting mindsets, giving people tools and strategies that show them how to FEEL GOOD - so they can create a new future without stress, anxiety, worry, depression, ill health, and dis-ease.

Let me be your lighthouse and illuminate your way forward.

How to get a job you love

A BIG PRACTICAL PART of my work is showing people, young and old, HOW TO GET A JOB YOU LOVE!

We spend 80,000 - 90,000 odd hours at work. (Yep, true)

Doing meaningful and purposeful work is a MAJOR contributor to overall happiness & feeling positive and optimistic about life, so it better be good.

If it's not, I can help. 

I love teaching my 'Purpose AND a Paycheck' course. 

My work as a Career Transition specialist in Employment Services has given me experience and insights into making the process of finding the right job fun, like an adventure!

My enthusiasm for AUTHENTIC career development, and my compendium of UNIQUE JOB SEARCH STRATEGIES is well known!

Because I WILL NOT let you waste your life doing a job you hate, or doing a job that is not the right fit for you.

I'll do my very best to hold you accountable to your dreams and goals because if there's one thing I know, it's not your skills, talents, or abilities holding you back. The skills and experience gap can be overcome quite easily.

What will thwart you is your mindset - specifically your lack of self-belief. I have really good tools that can help you overcome the negative chatter so you can (and will) go after the life you were meant to live.

living my one extraordinary life

I am the publisher of Roam the Gnome Family Travel Website.

My boys and I spent years from 2014 to 2019 taking a GNOME around the world.

Our No.1 travel highlight to date?

Meeting Santa in Lapland! at the Santa Claus Holiday Village in Rovaniemi, Finland in -10°C !(14° F) temperatures, surrounded by forests of snow!

But visiting Disney parks comes close! We are half-way through a quest to get to all of them around the world. And Disney Aulani in Hawaii too.

Oh, and staying a night at the one and only IKEA hotel in Almhult, Sweden. Bucket list stuff that.

  • sing Disney musical numbers
  • be led by my curiosity to new adventures!
  • practice being a living, breathing example of everything I teach in or about health & well-being, money & finances, work & career, home & environment, fun, play & celebration, relationships with family & friends, and LOVE
