About
Amy Kessler
I started out producing and editing human rights documentaries. I saw how positive change might be achieved through a process of listening deeply, sharing our stories and being inspired to take action.
Today, I coach individuals with the same perspective, using traditional coaching methods with somatic techniques, mind-body therapy and stress physiology to work through blocks and heal from burnout, so my clients can have the grounding and clarity to make a change, take some risks and do what they love.
Change isn't easy for anyone.
Before I quit video editing, at age 40, my health was suffering greatly. I remember walking up 75th St. in NYC after a particularly brutal night shift on a reality TV show, when I pushed an octogenarian out of my way - for walking too slowly up Broadway!
Broke, angry, filled with uncertainty and experiencing serious chronic health problems, I began working with a coach who helped me heal as we figured out my next steps. In time, and with the right support, I was able to find a new way to be a working professional, one that aligned with my needs and values.
So, if you're unsure how to move forward in your life, career or creative practice, please reach out for a complimentary consult. I'd love to help you create the change you’re looking for.
