About Me

Discover the story, mission, and heart behind Vitality + Vision where transformation, clarity, and energy begin

This is me, Amy

That photo you're looking at? I'm 49 years old, in a hospital bed. I've just been diagnosed with cancer. Months later, I have a stroke.
"My greatest fear wasn't dying. My greatest fear was that my body would start telling a story my voice could no longer share."
Gratefully, I recovered without long-term deficits. No one meeting me for the first time would guess what my nervous system has walked through. But I know. Because after that, the little things stopped being “little”:
  • The warmth of the sun on my face.
  • The smell of rain on hot Las Vegas pavement.
  • The sound of a train in the distance at night.
  • The way laughter with people I love feels like medicine.
That brush with mortality cracked me open. It gave me a different kind of x-ray vision — not just for my own life, but for every woman who sits across from me and says, “I’m fine,” when her nervous system is screaming otherwise.

Backstory: how I accidentally became that person women tell the truth to

I didn’t set out to be a coach, speaker, or podcast host.
In 2005, a friend needed a student so she could complete her Reiki Master certification.
I said yes because she needed help, not because I had some grand life plan. But something shifted.
I felt calmer. Less reactive. More patient. Like someone had handed me a dimmer switch for my own nervous system and said, “Here, you actually do get a say in this.”
I started volunteering as a Reiki practitioner with cancer patients — sitting beside chemo chairs and hospital beds, offering support during treatment and at end of life.
I started volunteering as a Reiki practitioner with cancer patients — sitting beside chemo chairs and hospital beds, offering support during treatment and at end of life.
Eventually, I opened Pediatric Reiki Las Vegas , which grew into:
  • The most successful private pediatric Reiki practice in the city
  • The largest monthly community Reiki circle in Las Vegas (70+ people at its peak)
  • A training hub where 400–500 students completed Reiki certification (many still running their own practices today)
  • An approved CEU provider for nurses, massage therapists, and bodyworkers
What I didn’t realize was that, quietly, I was becoming something else:
The person women told the truth to when they were tired of pretending, that they were okay.

The Mothers

Here’s what years of working with kids taught me:
A child’s nervous system almost always mirrors the state of the mother.
Session after session, I’d ask the mother simple questions:
“How are you doing?”
“What’s the energy like at home right now?”
“What’s actually keeping you up at night?”
And the stories would come:
The marriage that looks perfect on Instagram but feels like two roommates passing in the dark.
The career that pays well but drains the soul.
The resentment toward in-laws, bosses, or partners that never gets voiced.
The invisible load of being “the one who holds it all together.”
These weren’t quick, cute conversations.
They were Mama Bear confessions.
Women came in for their kids’ care — and walked out having cracked open something in their own lives.
I started offering “Mama Bear Care” sessions: half Reiki, half coaching. Powerful? Yes. But there was a problem:
They were drop-ins.

A few sessions here. A few there. Then life got busy, and they disappeared — only to return months later, back in the same patterns.

It was like watching someone go to the gym once a month, look at the dumbbells, maybe do two sets of bicep curls… and then wonder why nothing was changing.
That’s when it hit me:
Healing is not a spa day.

Transformation is not a drive thru.

And courage is not built in “whenever I get around to it” appointments.

Real change needs something different:

  • A blueprint
  • Benchmarks
  • Accountability
  • And an ecosystem that doesn’t let you quietly drift back into your old life.

A child's nervous system almost always mirrors the state of the mother.

The Epiphany: Why the usual coaching and healing rooms weren’t enough

I’ve invested in coaching myself — high-level, expensive, powerful coaching.

I learned how to grow a business.

I learned how to think bigger.

I met incredible women.

But there were two gaps I couldn’t ignore:

1. Traditional healing spaces were often labeled “woo-woo.” Lots of incense and intention… not enough integration with the nervous system, the brain, or real-world demands.

2. Traditional coaching spaces focused on business, goals, and revenue — while ignoring the spiritual and energetic realities underneath.

My clients — women just like you — were living at the intersection of both. They didn’t need:

  • “Love and light” with no plan, or
  • “Crush your goals” with no soul

They needed a system that honored all of them:

  • Science → understanding the nervous system and how regulation changes everything
  • Logic → naming the patterns, beliefs, and blind spots that keep them stuck on repeat
  • Spirituality →reconnecting with meaning, energy, and the bigger story of their life That intersection became the foundation of my work.

The Creation of Vitality + Vision

I created Vitality + Vision for one reason:

I refuse to watch capable, brilliant women drift through a life that doesn’t fit them anymore.

For nearly two decades, I’ve watched:

  • Mothers who would do anything for their kids… except extend that same devotion to themselves.
  • Executives who can run teams, budgets, and boardrooms… but still feel like they’re failing at home.
  • Women with “great lives on paper” whisper, “Is this all there is?” in a room where they finally feel safe enough to say it out loud.
  • Vitality + Vision is my answer to that.

It’s a coaching ecosystem designed for women who are ready to:

  • Move from procrastination to aligned action
  • Step out of the drama triangle and into the Empowerment Triangle
  • Shift from reacting to everything… to deliberately choosing their response
  • Redefine success so it includes their nervous system, their relationships, and their spirit — not just their résumé

It’s not a “come when you feel like it” situation.

It’s a deep, structured, high-accountability container for women who are done living by default.

OK, finally… the facts

If you’re like my clients, you probably want receipts. So, here are a few:
  • 18 years in private practice as the leading pediatric Reiki practitioner in Las Vegas
  • Built a six-figure, word-of-mouth practice before “online business” was trendy
  • Creator of the largest community Reiki circle in Las Vegas (70+ attendees at its peak)
  • 400–500 Reiki certification graduates, several now running successful practices of their own
  • Approved CEU provider for nurses and bodyworkers
  • Clients ranging from:
  • A top Las Vegas morning show host
  • Members of Strip entertainment shows
  • Executives in global entertainment and gaming
  • A top-level UFC executive
  • Physicians, attorneys, chefs, and small business owners
  • Featured on Las Vegas Channel 8 and in the Las Vegas Review-Journal
  • Host of the Be The Flame podcast
  • Creator of the Everyday Messages affirmation deck
  • Guide to clients across the U.S., France, and Switzerland
And now, the work I’m most proud of:
Vitality + Vision — a coaching ecosystem built specifically for women who want their outer success and inner life to finally match.

Future Vision:
Where this is all going

My vision is to license the Vitality + Vision Method and bring it to women around the world:

  • Cohorts of high-capacity women on every continent
  • A living, breathing global ecosystem of women who support, challenge, and celebrate one another
  • An annual gathering where we’re not talking about “someday” goals — we’re celebrating what we’ve built, changed, and healed

Because this isn’t just about feeling better

It’s about becoming the woman who can hold the life she secretly knows she’s meant for.

You will not be asked to abandon your spirituality, your ambition, or your humanity.

The Promise

If you step into this work with me, here’s what I can promise:
You will not be coddled.
You will not be asked to abandon your spirituality, your ambition, or your humanity.
You will not be allowed to disappear into the background of your own life.
You will be:
  • Seen and heard — truly
  • Asked better questions than, “So, how was your week?”
  • Challenged to choose response over reaction
  • Supported in setting boundaries that honor you and your family
  • Given tools to regulate your nervous system in real life, not just on a yoga mat
  • Held accountable to the woman you’re becoming, not the one you’ve outgrown

If you do this work, you will never again have to pretend you’re “fine” while silently falling apart inside.

Today

Today, I’m a cancer survivor, a stroke survivor, a wife, a mother to many, a coach, a nervous

system nerd, and a woman who refuses to waste whatever time I have left playing small.

I still feel the sun on my face with reverence.

I still listen to trains at night.

I still laugh loudly with people I love.

And I still believe — fiercely — that your story isn’t over yet.

That’s why I built Vitality + Vision.

And that’s why I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you write your next chapter.
