Ama - Mental Health Coach

“As a mother of three children, two of whom have special needs, I had resigned myself to never utilizing my education or realizing my aspirations. However, working with Lyra has afforded me the chance to pursue a coaching career, which I am extremely passionate about, while still enjoying the flexibility and independence to create my own schedule and be available for my kids' numerous appointments and therapies. The encouragement, community, and professional development opportunities provided by Lyra make me feel empowered and set up for success.”
