Amy Hoogervorst’s curiosity about people and their experiences spans a lifetime.
That led her first to a journalism career, as a reporter for daily newspapers in the Southeast, and then as a freelance writer. When her children were little, Amy started a business helping people tell their own stories through photographs and albums. Today, she still encourages personal family historians to focus on those acts of emotional well-being, but her work as a coach and facilitator takes a wider, more holistic look at optimal health.
Amy offers 1-to-1 and group coaching through her private practice, with a particular emphasis on cognitive health. She has been a DHWCT coach training assistant since 2018 and a mentor to advanced skills students since 2021. Amy also works as a facilitator for an area nonprofit that offers space for inner work and spiritual practices that can lead to meaningful outer work. Personally, she enjoys traveling and hiking with friends and family, removing her suburban lawn to create an improved ecosystem with native plants, and is on a (slow) quest to run in all 50 U.S. states.
