Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Schamberg.
Hi Amy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi, I’m Amy, Founder and CEO of Amy Schamberg Wellness, LLC. From a young age, I’ve had a love of learning and helping others. I have always been fascinated by human development, health, psychology, and behavior. I’ve spent the past decade working as a school psychologist in the Cherry Creek School District. Last year, I decided to pivot into the health and wellness space. In August 2021, I completed a yearlong certification program and became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.
I officially launched my virtual health coaching business in January 2022. As a female entrepreneur, I am passionate about empowering other women to uncover their inner wisdom, take back control of their health, and attain the life of their dreams. As a health coach, my job is to support and guide clients to reach their goals by helping them gain clarity on where they are, where they want to be, and what actions they need to take in order to get there. And with more than 10 years of professional psychology and behavior change experience, I am skilled at helping clients work through challenges, find creative solutions, and build on past successes to continue moving forward.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
To get to where I am today, I first had to overcome my own health challenges. From a young age I experienced chronic digestive problems and mental health struggles. Overcoming those challenges led to my interests in health, psychology and holistic wellness.
I remember when I first delved into the world of functional medicine about 7 or 8 years ago and began to understand the root cause of my lifelong gut problems and anxiety. I was fascinated to learn how certain foods and other lifestyle factors were exacerbating my symptoms, and it was so empowering to find out that I could make simple changes to greatly improve my quality of life.
I went from feeling frustrated, confused, and helpless about my gut issues and mental health, to feeling confident in knowing exactly what to do to feel my best- physically and emotionally. I was amazed to discover that fixing my gut also improved my mental health. This knowledge was so motivating and inspiring that I knew I had to find a way to share this information with as many people as possible…. And that is what led me to start my business.
Learning the ins and outs of running a business has been a wild ride. At the moment, my biggest challenge is getting in front of people who can benefit from my services.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Of course! Amy Schamberg Wellness LLC provides virtual coaching services to educate, empower, and guide motivated women with busy lives to overcome stress and anxiety, eliminate digestive problems, and increase their energy so they can feel their best and focus on what matters most. Through private coaching sessions, groups, and my signature program, The Gut Balance Code, I help clients create new healthy habits around food, stress, sleep, movement, relationships, and emotional well-being.
My coaching style is based on positive psychology, the principles of functional medicine, and the gut-brain connection. My coach approach is inclusive, solution-focused, and supportive. Areas of expertise include mental health and emotional well-being (stress, anxiety, overwhelm/burnout), gut health, and relationships (healthy boundaries, parenting, family conflict). Holistic wellness is the foundation of my business.
Many of the women I work with feel like they have already “tried it all.” However, there are so many pieces of the puzzle needed for true health and well-being! I help clients zoom out and develop a new perspective so we can work on addressing all of the puzzle pieces. By following what I call The 7 Pillars of Balanced Wellness, my clients can heal their gut, overcome emotional struggles, and live a happy, healthy life again.
What’s next?
Next month, I will be stepping away from a decade-long career in school psychology to fully focus on coaching. I’m excited to expand my business and begin a new chapter as an Adolescent Behavioral Health Coach with Headspace Health.
In the next 6 months, I plan to develop a parenting program for moms who are struggling to help their children or teens by providing solutions to behavior problems, mental health concerns, family conflict, and problems at school.
Also within the next year, I will begin to provide free educational events to underserved communities, teaching how to make simple food and lifestyle shifts to improve both physical and mental health.
