Hello, I am Amber...
survivor, author & entrepreneur
As survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, we hold within us the power to inspire others by speaking up and sharing our healing journey. Through our courage to break the silence, we not only confront our own trauma but also pave the way for, and inspire others, to do the same. By sharing our stories, we create a community of validation and understanding...where every voice, no matter how soft, can be heard. Together through advocacy, therapy, and supporting one another - we embark on a path towards truth, healing, reclaiming our voices, and finding strength in our resilience.
Your past does not define who you can become

My Life’s Story
As a dedicated wife, mother, and entrepreneur my personal journey of abuse and struggle has evolved into a source of motivation. The lessons learned from overcoming internal and external obstacles now infuse every aspect of my life. I bring a wealth of life experience, profound understanding of transformation and my objective is to inspire others through non partisan understanding.
My Core Values
I have developed faith in the ability to transform. Each person has the resilience to conquer obstacles and shape a life filled with joy. The journey to healing starts with acknowledging and understanding that the past events were not your responsibility. By taking control, you can alter the course of your life and break the cycle of generational trauma.
