About Amy
I rebuilt my life from the ground up. Not because I had it together - because I knew the challenges in my life were placed there to show me my true identity and strength as a child of God.
Midlife transformation was a gift that saved my life.
I am Amy Leigh Looper. Single mom of two daughters, woman of faith, and someone who knows firsthand what it costs to keep performing when everything underneath has been shaken.
For years I looked like I had it all. Top sales leader. Award winner. High achiever, a Mom that could run from the airplane to Uber and be there for daycare pickup, but I was quietly falling apart.
After navigating a toxic relationship, the full weight of C-PTSD, and the kind of loss that restructures your entire identity - I made a choice. Not to survive it, but to surrender it. To stop white-knuckling my own healing and let more than willpower carry me through. This is where God really took the reigns of my life in such a beautiful way.
Am I the woman I was 10 years ago? Nope - now a more grounded, wiser women who walks in integrity, discernment and self-worth.
That’s true freedom and that’s the journey I now help other women take. Usually women that I coach have been through some big life events, perhaps loss and challenges that could freeze anyone in their tracks. In the healing and growth journey, we come home to our most authentic selves, grow in confidence, take courageous action and go after what we truly want.
I’m forever grateful to help women and their families in this way. When we break generational patterns, we rise and we lead the next several generations to unbelievable possibilities.
Credentials
Before I became a coach, I spent 20+ years inside the highest-pressure sales environments in the world, 5x President’s Club award winner while also becoming a Mom to two of the most beautiful souls on the planet.
What others didn’t know was that I did most of it while quietly dysregulated, over-giving, and running on adrenaline I did not know how to turn off.
That combination - lived experience and professional excellence - is what makes this work different. I did not study burnout from the outside. I survived it from the inside of a toxic relationship and my own people pleaser patterns that kept me running on a hamster wheel looking for outside validation and peace in others vs. able to feel safe in my own skin. Then I built a methodology from everything I learned after surviving a lifetime of complex trauma.

My work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, and high-performance strategy. It is not surface level. It is not a mindset course. It is a complete recalibration of who you are, how you show up, and what you allow.
I help high-achieving women identify and heal the nervous system patterns driving their people pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout - so they stop shrinking, start leading, and finally feel like themselves again.
Women who do this work stop apologizing for taking up space. They negotiate raises they have been afraid to ask for. They leave meetings feeling clear instead of depleted. They parent from a grounded place instead of a guilty one. They build careers that actually feel like theirs.
Not because they worked harder. Because they finally worked at the right level.
The Work
Who Amy Is Now
Outside of personal development and transformation work, I am a mom first. My two daughters are my greatest teachers and my deepest motivation. They are why I did the hard work of healing -and why I will never stop.
I am also a woman of faith. My own healing journey has been one of surrender more than strategy. Of trusting something larger than my own understanding. That thread runs quietly through everything I do, not as a formula, but as a foundation.
I love helping people find their way through the hard seasons. Not around them. Through them, because the women who come out the other side are not just recovered, they are transformed.
If you are in a hard season right now, I want you to know: you were made for more than just surviving it.
