“Ama La Vida was just what I needed to help me navigate a major career transition and use my values as a compass. Coach Jana was truly an amazing coach with wisdom packed guidance and questioning that led me to make a great move where I felt 100% confident in my decision. I loved having access to the Ama La Vida membership site with modules and access to other special events/webinars on topics that interested. Would definitely recommend Ama La Vida to others!”

“Ama La Vida helped me break down the nebulous “what do I want” feeling so that I better understood my goals. I was able to find a new job and restore my own self-confidence.”

“Maddie is an incredibly thoughtful, kind, and dedicated coach. As a recent graduate, I was lost about what I wanted to do in life and how to get somewhere in the working world. I was forcing myself into rigid thinking about what I should do, and I was also feeling uninspired about the options available to me. Maddie helped me see things in a new way by identifying my core values and passions, and mapping out possible career paths that align with those parts of myself. I immediately felt motivated and inspired again upon my first session with her. During my time with her, I also landed my first full-time corporate job. Maddie helped me see how the skills I’m learning at this job reflect the passions and values we discussed, and how I can use these skills in the future. If you’re on the fence about working with a career coach, don’t be. Maddie is the real deal, and I would highly recommend working with her. She listens carefully, takes detailed notes of your sessions, holds you accountable, and does it all with empathy. Thank you Maddie!”

“I can’t say enough good things about the ALV team. Not only was [my coach] always so kind and welcoming, but she really listened and was able to provide clear guidance despite all of my blabbering. She was 100% focused on me on my goals which I really appreciated since sometimes that’s not the case. She really is a gem of a person and a truly incredible coach! And whenever I needed assistance with my account the ALV was always super responsive, helpful and kind. Honestly, the best customer service I think I’ve ever experienced.”
