Hi! I'm Amanda.

Star is actually my middle name and I’m not sad about it. I help people play in the grey and come out shining.

I'm a 44 year old overly-certified life coach for all people. Especially for those who've had abortions. Whether you love your story, or wish it hadn't happened— I help you live the life you make your choices for.

 I coach people in: grief, transition, relationships, business, even athletics! ALL the things that being human entails.

  • I am married to my high school sweetheart 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼

  • We have an adult daughter living 2000 miles away 🦋 a teen at home 🚘 and one kiddo still in elementary school 🚌

  • At 21 I started and left home birth midwifery school and 12 years later my 3rd birth was at home 🏡

  • I'm un-gracefully and comedically entering peri-menopause 💃🏻 hysterectomy included

  • I have a lot of social anxiety and score ADHD on any online test I've ever taken 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I adapt to thrive!

 

I believe that some things in life pick us…

That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.

I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.

I refer to my pregnancy as the “immaculate IUD removal”. It’s like a character in my life story. We’ve become buddies, and our work together is all for YOU. We want you to feel what we feel. We want you to never look back with anything but curiosity and compassion for yourself. We know it’s possible, because we chose it for ourselves, and we’re pretty special, but no more special than YOU.

If we were able to find our wings to freedom we know you can too.

I certified with The Life Coach School because I was drawn to simplicity and understanding the power of the mind. I certified as a Feminist coach because I believe that empowered women create a powerful society. I certified with the Ethical Coaching collective because I wanted to understand how to change lives though an understanding of neuroscience and light hypnosis. And I keep learning through programs like The Shame Clinic, and Positive Intelligence.

Before certification I graduated with a degree in Women’s Studies from UMass Amherst, and attended midwifery school with the Seattle Midwifery School. I practiced 3 full years as a doula attending over 50 births and occasionally I step back into that bedside role.


I’ll never stop learning. Every single day I’m discovering and sharing new tools with my people. YOU are my people. If you are ready to find your wings and fly, I am ready to show you exactly how to turn your abortion into one of your greatest strengths, and how to thrive as a human in an absolutely beautiful and chaotic world.
