Coaching - Business communication, Personal development

"Amelia has been helping me...[with] coaching advice around mindfulness and presentation skills. She has been excellent at communicating to me in accordance with my values and priorities. She is a warm, energetic and friendly person who is well liked by not only myself, but my staff. She is very knowledgeable and has great life experience to share her wisdom as well as being empathetic to the needs of others.

Over the past 3 years she has helped me to journal and write more, gain more clarity around my thoughts, be present, as well improve my presenting and speaking, both on and off camera. She is an excellent presenter herself and extremely professional." Taylor Harrison, Owner Active Seniors Health Centres, Director Health Space Clinics, Founder of Giving Health Charitable Foundation

Coaching - Drama 

"Amelia is a revelation! ...To teach drama well to children needs a special kind of person. Someone with a finely balanced sense of discipline vs. fun and lots of patience. When dealing with children ranging from 5 – 15 and on the odd occasion all in the same class, a teacher is required to keep the little ones focused and the older kids interested. In over 10 years of teaching I have seen no one display these kinds of attributes better than Amelia.

She is inspirational, irreverent, instinctive and most importantly: professional. Always prepared with a detailed lesson plan, and turns up on time! She is a self-possessed woman who exudes a sense of straightforward honesty, and from an employer’s perspective, this is extremely valuable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Amelia as an exceptional asset for of any organization." Lindsay Moss, Director, StarTime Studios.
