Often it is difficult to overcome health challenges due to lack of support or lack of information. Have you ever left the doctor's office and asked yourself, "What does that mean?" Awaken Academy is designed to give that support with educational videos, infographics and worksheets to solidify the concepts needed to overcome health challenges for good. Let's get started!!!


"I've tried so many different diets and I'd lose 5 pounds and for no apparent reason I'd gain 3 back. I was tired all the time and had no motivation. I called on Amy and after talking with her, decided to do an elimination diet to find out what foods were causing me problems. I had no idea until I spoke with Amy the role that inflammation and hormones played in my weight gain, lack of motivation, and exhaustion. I now eat healthier, feel better, lost 25 pounds and I don't feel like I'm on a diet. I enjoy the foods that make me feel better. I've kept the weight off for almost a year now. I'm not just getting through a day. I'm living again."

"Working with Amy has helped me move from feeling hopeless about my physical health to actually understanding why I was feeling as bad as I was. She uncovered food sensitivities that I was unaware of, regulated my hormones, and addressed issues related to my hypothyroidism.  She has provided me with the tools I need to live life much more fully than I was prior to seeing her. I can't thank Amy enough for her efforts and her compassionate care. "
