“I can’t say enough about Amel. She is smart, intuitive, and deeply understanding—the kind of coach who just gets you, even when you’re struggling to put things into words yourself. She doesn’t just listen—she truly hears you. She picks up on things beneath the surface, offering insights that feel both eye-opening and completely natural, like she’s guiding you back to truths you already knew but couldn’t fully see on your own. What sets her apart is how she genuinely cares. Skill is important but coupled with a caring heart is icing on the cake. She doesn’t just do this work—she lives it, creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported no matter where you are in your journey. If you’re looking for a therapist who is sharp, compassionate, and committed to your growth, I can’t recommend her enough. She has been a life-changing presence for me, and I know she will be for so many others”
Candice K. -Los Angeles, CA
“I have been working with Amel for 2 years now, and have so much gratitude for what I have gained in every session with her. She opens up a safe, non-judgemental and clear space for inner inquiry, asking insightful questions and listening compassionately, yet goading firmly. This leads to uncovering layers of issues, helping me see old conditioning, negative self-beliefs, and judgements that would go unnoticed otherwise. I have watched her do the work as well and found her to be stunningly open and brave embracing the toughest of challenges that come up. She is very skilled at Internal Family Systems as well, and I still remember one of her sessions where I felt my most authentic part speaking from a place of no-mind, and it felt so true, peaceful and calming afterwards. Amel is grounded and humble despite her several achievements, fun, dynamic, full of curiosity for learning and growing herself at every opportunity. A great coach to entrust your life with, I wish Amel and her clients many more decades of successful and purposeful living!”
Deepa N. S. - Singapore
“As a coach Amel is clearly guided by her training and best practices but seems also to be in touch deeply with her own inner knowing and intuition. She invites you to gently accept things as they are while embracing the ability to change what is in your power to change. Within this framework you find yourself shedding that which no longer serves you, and creating new intentions and habits. Amel’s coaching invites you to harness your own energy for personal growth and connect with the healing forces of nature. Amel developed a hypnosis script especially for my own inner child healing which has served to dissolve old thought patterns and promote deep relaxation, allowing for a profound connection with my inner self and wounded child. I am deeply grateful for our work together. Thank you as always Amel for sharing your gifts and teachings with me.”
Kimberley C. - San Diego, CA
“Wanted to take a moment to share an extra thank you for being a bright light in this wild world. Your caring. Perspective. Insight. Sharing your time. Guiding me in making important changes that will help my spirit. Helping me move toward a more colorful life. It all means so much to me. I feel hopeful. Lucky. Grateful. All the things. I often feel so very fortunate in this life even in the tough moments — and feeling all of that in an even bigger way. Thank you for making room for me in your calendar and for supporting me in these big changes.”
Chris K. Las Vegas, NV
“I grew up in a family that was in the public eye, and at a challenging time in high school—at age 14–I saw, in retrospect, That I was seeking for approval and appreciation from WITHOUT, rather than giving myself love and self-care. I’m grateful Deepa and Amel came up with this class! I had the chance to revisit my young self, struggling, and see that boy in his fear, searching outside himself for appreciation—rather Allowing himself to BE, and be in the “don’t-know” mind, open, free to be himself. I recommend this class. It has brought awareness of my futile strategies, and more acceptance — allowing myself to simply be with my experiences. Rereading portions of Katie’s wonderful book is also a gift!”
Philippe S. -Hollywood, CA
“I have worked with Amel both for couples coaching and individual coaching. I can’t speak highly enough of Amel’s compassionate, grounded and nurturing approach. She is professional, kind and down to earth. She is honest about what she’s observing and she’s empathic and sensitive to your needs. I’m so glad we found Amel! We’ve seen so much progress both as a couple AND individually in a short amount of time. She is definitely one of a kind and a true gem to work with. If you’re looking for REAL RESULTS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amel!”

“Amel is intuitive, insightful, and kind. She is both practical and mystical and is always on my side.”
Christen J. -Phoenix, AZ
“My husband and I received online sessions from Amel and they touched us deeply and were enough to make a lasting impact on our relationship. Thanks to her attention to our communication patterns we were able to see the places where we could become closer and be more authentic with each other. We are grateful for Amel’s contribution to the way we keep growing in our togetherness.”
Magda J. - Boise, ID
“Amel has an innate ability to sense my needs and enhance my experiences with her compassion and openness. Her extensive knowledge in various modalities allows her to create a safe and nurturing space for exploring deep, and occasionally challenging, emotions. She radiates kindness and acceptance, never trying to control the experience, but rather supporting whatever arises. Amel provides the grounded presence essential for profound healing and offers guidance when I encounter obstacles. I trust her completely, confident that she will support me in exploring anything I wish to delve into.”
Michelle M. Perth, Australia
“Amel is an amazing coach who understands deep listening, is very perceptive, and will challenge you to do the inner work that will help you achieve your goals and be successful! She has been a great blessing to me in my journey!”
Rene M. -Norfolk, VA
“Amel is remarkably insightful and uniquely talented at helping someone move forward on their life's path. As I worked with her on my fear of failure, she asked just the right questions and gracefully led me to greater clarity, awareness, and understanding of how my limiting beliefs were keeping me from my professional success. Amel recognized my abilities and potential and was a wonderful support. I felt very comfortable talking with her about my concerns. She is wise, authentic, and oh-so talented!”
Mary S. -New York City, NY
“As I integrated my healing work with Amel, I came to realize how much I was still running a program of bypassing my inner no's and other unwanted emotions. Amel encouraged me to hold myself in other uncomfortable emotions and not resist them (as well as hold the shadow parts of myself in love and compassion). This has come in super handy, as I have to face certain negative projections from others when I no longer choose to people-please. Amel is an amazingly intuitive coach and I would recommend her to anyone looking to break through some outdated patterns and programs.”
Marie A. -Sante Fe, NM
“Amel is a natural at somatic coaching. I struggle with dropping into my body when I am experiencing intensity, and tend to escape into my mind and lose myself in the stories there. Amel skillfully led me through a process where I was able to hold my inner child in the trauma that first seeded the issue I was dealing with. She assisted me in understanding that the issue was connected to me self-censoring as a result of that experience and feeling unsafe in expressing myself honestly, and that the cumulated repression of my truth is what was building up in intensity for me in my current experiences. During the session Amel helped me cultivate a sense of safety in expressing my truth, and a sense of inner strength to hold myself in my fear of rejection. It felt like clearing my throat chakra in many ways…”
Andre M. Boston, MA
“I would recommend working with Amel! She is a talented coach. Every time I leave her session I am feeling encouraged, lighter, uplifted, and optimistic. I am very grateful for her coaching.”
Kim S.C. -San Francisco, CA
“Amel has a way of helping the coachee explore ideas and walk down paths that lead to growth and insight. Spending time with Amel and her coaching style is energizing and well worth the time.

“Doing the work by Byron Katie takes a lot of vulnerability and an honest look at yourself and circumstances. Amel and Deepa hold your hand through the process. Both seasoned in The Work for themselves and facilitating others, they seem to live the practice and support in a way that creates a safe space for you to step into a path of self realization.”
Stephanie O. -New Orleans, LA
“This class was fantastic! Deepa and Amel were wonderful hosts and I appreciated their presence, authenticity, and level of preparedness. They guided us lovingly through well-thought-out exercises and created a beautiful safe space for self-discovery and open sharing.I got so much out of this class and wholeheartedly recommend it!”
Judith P. -Memphis, TN
“Amel is a amazing! She helped me enormously feel the blessings in my life. Knowing and feeling are two different things, and Amel's insight is wonderful.”
Jeannie O. -Orange County, CA
“I've struggled with negative body image for as long as I can remember. In my teens and twenties, it led to an eating disorder. Amel and Deepa’s course, Coming Home to My Body, gave me the opportunity to explore and question some of the early beliefs I had adopted. Both Amel and Deepa shared openly and vulnerably about their own experiences with their bodies, which helped create a safe and supportive space for us to examine some of the darker, more hidden aspects of our own stories—things I had previously felt too embarrassed to admit or talk about. As the course progressed, I noticed my perspectives and beliefs about my body shifting toward a kinder, more free, and peaceful approach. Thank you, Amel and Deepa! I deeply appreciate your thoughtful facilitation and your generosity in making yourselves available to do The Work with me outside of class time.”
irit D -Berkeley, CA
“In this class I explored, systematically, my beliefs about my body. Using Byron Katie’s four questions of inquiry and the turn arounds to question my beliefs about my body. For me the body includes working on my mind, my ego, my emotions and my body. The questions started me working through my beliefs about my body to enable me to find in my inner self the reality that has always been waiting there, and my inner beliefs may have been covered over by thoughts, beliefs, my ego, and emotions. In the Body Course I was able to begin to see, I am not my body, my thoughts, my emotions or my feelings. They are separate entities that seemingly exist inside me, for the purpose of protection of me I suppose. I questioned my body beliefs. This had the effect of freeing me to see my body more realistically. I can see my body as separate from me. I have more work to do on my body. I continue to question my beliefs about my body. I discovered so much about this body I call mine and the beliefs I carry about my body through this course. Thank You Deepa and Amel for facilitating and providing this very valuable class to us.”
Chris P. -Washington DC
“I recently took a course called "I Need Your Approval, Is It True?" from Deepa and Amel, and I enjoyed it very much and got a lot out of it. Seeking love and approval from others is one of my core motivations and one of the hardest topics to work through as part of Byron Katie's The Work. Both Deepa and Amel provided a safe and supportive space, and they were conscientious and well-prepared. I know that any course Deepa and Amel give will be valuable and a safe space where learning and self-knowledge are fully supported!”
