Amy Ries: Personal Coaching Client Testimonials

“Amy Ries is an exceptional career and life coach because she blends credibility with true compassion and empathy for her clients. The private retreat at the start of our 1:1 coaching engagement was not just a kickoff, but an intentional process that honored the journey ahead. Amy designed a beautiful experience that felt 100% “me” and a gift that I will never forget.

I found a perfect combination of tough-love and unwavering warmth from Amy. She does not give you "the answers;” rather, she masterfully guides you towards a path to getting to what’s most important to you. I came away from both our private retreat and my ongoing coaching sessions with Amy feeling empowered and inspired…and those ongoing sessions are great for keeping the momentum! I am now embarking on an exciting new career phase and am grateful to be continuing my 1:1 coaching sessions with Amy. Highly, highly recommend Amy and RETREAT."

— Shelley Y, Former 25+ Year J&J Executive now Supply Chain Consultant from Pennsylvania

“My experience working with Amy began with one of her weekend retreats. She had gathered a truly lovely group of supportive women together and planned out a weekend full of relaxation and fulfilling workshop sessions. Amy has a true talent for walking you through challenges in a way that makes the solutions seem so achievable. My weekend experience left me with so much positive momentum and clarity on some things that had been weighing me down.

We continued to work together for one-on-one coaching. Amy's thoughtfulness and warmth made the experience so rewarding. Her overnight retreat kick off session is amazing - it is designed to help you really acknowledge the investment you are making in yourself and supports you in being able to fully focus. Our check-ins moved me forward on the things we were working on, but Amy always made time for working through smaller day to day things that were bogging me down. She is genuinely invested in your success - the first one to call you on your BS and the first one to push you to celebrate your wins. That feeling of momentum and clarity that had begun at my weekend away was a foundation that Amy continued to build on and left me feeling empowered and more in control than I had been in a long time.

I cannot speak highly enough of her talent as a supportive and smart coach who truly knows how to listen. Thank you Amy!

— Michelle B, Entrepreneur from Pennsylvania

“I had high expectations for the intensive 1:1 coaching, and the experience truly exceeded my expectations! I knew the main focus was going to be career, but it was thankfully so much more. Amy really ‘got me’ and knew exactly what the right words were that I needed to hear. All of the ‘perks’ were so perfect and special too!

I’m really starting to get used to all these happy and excited feelings! Amy is so good at coaching - I feel so lucky to be one of her clients.

I know that there are so many other women that will benefit from the Coach Amy experience. Amy really is amazing and an inspiration. Thank you for everything.”

— Lauren F, Physician from Pennsylvania

”Amy is fearless, and she brings out that fearlessness in every woman she coaches.

Amy can be trusted because she's credible. She's had the big jobs with the big paychecks, and the big stress that came along with that package. Walking away from an ego-driven existence and towards her true purpose has inspired other women to do the same, and if they are unsure about how to do it- she provides tactical steps to get you there. She's a friend, mentor, and a thought-leader in the coaching and self-care space.”

— Elizabeth P, Executive Coach from California

”Amy Ries has helped me to discover my true passion.

I was nervous about making a major transition from a lengthy career in higher education to the hospitality services industry. Amy’s coaching has allowed me to better strategize my plans in order to evolve quickly as an emerging leader in hospitality which would ultimately achieve my life long goals. I was challenged to think more creatively outside the box. This in turn resulted in a greater sense of confidence in executing my goals and I am very grateful. ”

— Bwann G, Assistant University Director (Future Boutique Hotel Owner) from Massachusetts

“Amy is a great coach. She has strong intuition and provides a safe space. I felt heard and seen. I got great ‘ah-ha’s’ from working with her, that I appreciate so much. It has shifted a space in me for the better.”

—Dana T, Therapist from California

“My coaching experience with Amy was great! She is non judgmental, compassionate and patient. She took her time with me so she fully understood a complicated situation. Amy is an amazing healer.”

—Jodi K, Non-Profit President from Pennsylvania

“I loved working with Amy because she really stayed present with me, heard my deep pain and called me out when I was brushing over the pain.  I received, for the first time ever, real ah-ha’s about where I stand with a topic that I’ve worked on for years.

—Chelsea D, Company Founder & Entrepreneur from Nevada

“Amy guided me through a very challenging topic that I have needed to address for a lifetime. She did it with grace and a firm (but safe) direction. Amy has a way about her that allowed me to share and be the vulnerable self I have been seeking.”

—Cassandra J, Property Manager & Business Owner from Wisconsin

“Amy has a very natural gentleness that allows you to feel safe. Holding that space created an opportunity for me to release so much energy that was weighing me down. Through a deep level of connection, Amy intuitively led me through an experience of self empowerment. Amy also led me in a beautiful, mindful experience that led me to feel grounded and open. She was so gentle and patient. I experienced a divine profound moment I’ll never forget.”

—Ann S, Interior Designer from Wisconsin

Amy Ries: RETREAT Client Testimonials

“The opportunity to take time for yourself is an amazing gift on its own and the added value of having Amy as your guide through the retreat makes it an investment that is well worth the time and money.”

“Amy put together a very special experience. There was a wonderful balance of time to yourself, time with the group and optional activities. I was surprised by how much I got out of the workshops. Those exercises brought me clarity on things that I don't think I would have found. I also did not anticipate benefitting so much from just listening to the other group members. I appreciated the small group size, I really felt like everyone had a chance to talk and to listen...no monopolizing of the conversations. Amy's coaching style is just amazing...so open, relaxed and encouraging. There was no pressure to do or say anything and I think that led to a lot of wonderful conversation. I left the retreat feeling empowered with a new perspective and a sense of calm I have not felt in a long time.”

— Michelle, Business Owner from Pennsylvania

“The retreat was exactly what I needed to kickstart the year.

Amy’s workshops offerred so many angles on how to look at your life, so I could focus on the areas I wanted to enhance. In just a few days, I had a blueprint of where I wanted to go and how to get there. This was my second retreat with Amy and I am already looking forward to attending again next year! “

— Jennifer M, National Sales Director from New Jersey

“There were so many valuable moments during the retreat. I have been a lifelong pursuer of my own happiness through personal inner work, and I didn't think I would get that much out of the retreat that I haven't already explored. I couldn't have been more wrong. Amy's workshops were extremely insightful and created different awareness to my circumstances.” 

“I was a little concerned about sharing with a group of women I didn't know, and thought I would find it challenging to relate. To my surprise, this was one of the most beneficial factors of the retreat. As I have tried to find common ground with others in my life, it was refreshing to feel so connected right from the first check-in. We may not have similar lifestyles, but we all battle the same inner critic and fear based thinking. Amy's retreat has opened my eyes and interest in attending future retreats. I believe checking in with yourself in this manner, on a regular basis, is almost necessary to achieve the life you have always dreamt of.”

—Heather R, Business Owner from New Jersey

“I wasn't 100% sure what to expect on the retreat, but was so thankful that I went. The whole retreat, but especially the workshops, helped me to start moving forward in several aspects of my life where I had been stuck over the last decade. I left the retreat feeling excited and hopeful about my future.”

“Amy did a wonderful job selecting the group of participants and promoting an environment where we all felt safe sharing, being vulnerable, and supporting one another. I learned so much not just from the introspective work, but also from the other women there too.”

— Lauren F, Clinical Risk Management from Pennsylvania

“RETREAT by Amy Ries is the ultimate “feel good” weekend. Immersed in a beautiful setting, with attention to detail every step of the way. Amy’s coaching exercises and thoughtful group sessions allowed you to BREATHE and really look at your life .... where you are and where you want to be.... and begin to take steps to honor yourself and your life.”

— Angela G, Senior Clinical Educator, RN from Missouri

“Prior to the retreat, I knew I needed help prioritizing myself but had no idea I would gain as much as I did. It truly was the retreat I didn’t know I desperately needed. From the amazing venue, to meeting incredible women, to the meaningful exercises we did. The exercises were great in helping us get in touch with emotions we needed to feel in order to have the many breakthroughs we had. I left the retreat and returned home feeling very hopeful and motivated.”

— Karen C, Oncology Director from New Jersey

“Coming out of the retreat I felt both ready and focused to make the shifts I need to in my life to achieve my goals. The coaching and workshops really opened my mind to what I needed. RETREAT is a great opportunity to focus on you and ensure you are at your best.”

—Jennifer M, Consumer Pharmaceutical Sales from New Jersey

“My retreat experience was wonderful. It felt great to slow down and focus on topics that everyday life does not allow for. It was exactly what I needed. It’s great to slow down and focus on yourself. I felt stronger and more focused at the end.”

—Sarah C, Business Founder & Entrepreneur from Pennsylvania

"I have felt so amazingly good since I came home from the retreat. Nothing is rattling me and I feel much less anxious. I feel calmer and more patient with myself and my family. Work is even better. I honestly didn't even realize that I didn't feel good and wasn't at my best. So, THANK YOU again!"
