Services
-
Leadership Coaching
I provide leadership coaching to higher education leaders who seek a change to their current leadership or are on a new leadership path. My goal-directed coaching focuses on understanding your unique leadership context, practicing new skills in that context, and transforming your skills into new habits.
-
Health Coaching
Beginning in July 2025, I will accept health coaching clients. Applying science on wellbeing and Ayurveda, we will work together to develop an individualized, transformational health plan that addresses your daily schedule, diet, and digestion. I will support you in applying that plan to achieve your health goals.
-
Retreats
I have partnered with Freebird Valley Collective in the mountains of Colorado to offer restorative retreats in summer 2025. Each retreat is paired with coaching to maximize the retreat experience, supporting integration of changes attendees want to make in their lives.
-
Teaching, Training, and Consulting
I am available to teach, train, or consult on a variety of topics. I can support your college or department with leadership development for your team; provide Ayurvedic content during your retreat; or teach yin yoga and yoga nidra for individuals or groups of any size. Contact me to discuss the possibilities for working together. Sign up for my newsletter to learn about my public teaching and training opportunities.

Amanda places my leadership in a structural framework–both in terms of how my race and gender relate to that structure but also in terms of my life overall. She helped me implement strategies that allow me to be the vice provost and mother I want to be with integrity.
