Amy is amazing - I truly recommend her to everyone I see, and I use her tools in my own life as well as my athletes. I cannot say enough great things about what she does - her process is easy to understand. Sometimes it is so simple, people can hardly believe it works... but it DOES! I believe in everything she does and highly recommend her podcast!
