Amy Todisco here. Your professional Life and Career Coach.

Here’s a little bit of information about me. I’m excited to work with you and help you create the life you’ve always dreamed of. Please feel free to contact me via email (amy@catalyst4changecoaching.com) with any questions you may have. Your success is very important to me. So, let’s get started…

Education: I received my coaching training from Health Coaching U (Hilton Johnson Productions) and am currently in an advanced training program with Coaching From Spirit. Truth is, I realized that I’ve been coaching and inspiring people to go for what they really want in life unofficially for as long as I can remember. Kind of a passion, you could say. And, I’ve been walking the talk myself-creating my ideal life.

I’m a life long learner. For example, I took the personal growth forum, est, when I was 13 years old. I’ve taken numerous personal growth/self improvement seminars (including a month long psychic skills training at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA), read gazillions of books on everything from the law of attraction, spirituality, everything to do with green living and the environment, raising healthy happy children, stepfamilies, starting businesses, founding and running nonprofits, communication styles, healthy relationships, and much more. I’ve also studied the Option process- a wonderful and unique dialogue process that helps uncover our beliefs and move forward.

I graduated from Wheaton and Bowdoin College with a degree in Psychology. I even did an independent study on what women look for in relationships with men.

Work Experience: Did a short stint in corporate America, but felt like a hamster on a wheel. I was even a corporate recruiter for about 3 months (long enough to make my first sale and run like the wind away from that profession). While at the Esalen Institute, I got inspired to become a polarity and massage therapist (which I did for about 15 years). When I returned home, I got trained, opened and built a practice, and enjoyed helping people remove energy blocks, relax, and heal themselves.

Areas of Specialization: While I can and have coached people on a variety of topics, the one that I get most excited about is helping women create the dream business inside of them and become financially independent. I’ve created successful businesses (massage/polarity practice, green living webstore, green living consulting/speaking/writing, and now coaching), founded various environmental nonprofits, and created community wide events. I walk my talk and can more effectively help you walk yours.

Personal Information: I grew up in New York City and once I left for college I never really went back (well, except for the occasional visit to my family). After college I lived in Massachusetts for about 15 years. One of my personal dreams was to move to a rural spot outside of Burlington, Vermont and buy a house. That goal was realized in 2001. I have an amazing 15-year-old daughter and am a big animal lover. I currently have 1 horse, 2 cats and a dog.
