I HELP PEOPLE DISCOVER, LIVE AND TRUST THEIR TRUTH.

My Personal Journey

childhood

I was raised in a single-parent home in Charleston, WV, where my mom worked hard to provide for us. Early on she enrolled me in dance class which became my joyful safe haven, and years later my career. My biological father was a hot-tempered alcoholic who I visited a few times a year. Growing up I traveled between two different homes—one of loving and struggle, and the other of fear and unpredictability. I saw a lot and learned what I didn’t want my life to be.

defining moment

My mom wasn’t allowed to follow her dreams when she was younger so she supported me in following mine. I graduated from Point Park University with a BFA in musical theater. My plan was to take Broadway by storm! After moving to New York and spending years auditioning and facing rejection after rejection, I finally made my Broadway debut in the musical, Mamma Mia. I genuinely believed this moment would “fix” me and make me good enough–which was not the case. Reaching this goal only intensified my desire for perfection.

lost and found

I left the big apple to pursue tv and film in Los Angeles. It was here that I reached my breaking point. After twenty years of disordered eating, hating my body, and striving for perfection, I found myself lost. Within a two-week time frame, I went through a painful breakup, reached my goal weight and still loathed my body, and received a scathing review in a play. I felt broken and alone. At this point, I discovered The University of Santa Monica where I enrolled in their two-year masters degree program in Spiritual Psychology. During that time I found a new me. I had a healing with my relationship with my body, let go of patterns of perfection, and created a more loving/kind way of being with myself.

new path

Because of the changes I shared above, other people started to notice—women especially. They would express how different I was…that I was more confident and free in my body. Could I help them experience that too? I said yes and put together my first-ever workshop to support women in their relationship with their bodies. After leading it, I was hooked…and bodyheart, my first company, came to be. I led programs, spoke across the world, and created a movement devoted to helping people love the skin they were in.

AN ADVENTURE IN FIERCE LOVING

As much as I loved the work I was doing, I wasn’t making ends meet. In fact, at one point I had $44K in credit card debt. I judged myself as a failure and felt so much shame. I knew the work I was doing was good, but I couldn’t seem to fill my programs or find clients—that is until I met and started working with Michelle Bauman. Michelle saw me and what I was capable of before I did. With her guidance, I worked through my internal limiting beliefs about money and what was possible for me, while also implementing new and different actions in my coaching practice. Within a year and a half, I paid off my debt, made multiple six-figures, and knew how to be a professional coach. Michelle dramatically transformed my life. I was devastated when she passed away from cancer in 2015. It was only after she died that I realized she loved me fiercely. Here is when Fierce Loving, Inc. was born. I decided to carry on her legacy with myself, clients, and community.

today

I have a thriving coaching practice where I serve a wide range of individuals, including actors, producers, parents, small business owners, coaches, and corporate and creative executives. I also create and facilitate coaching groups for discovering, living, and trusting your Truth. I am on guest faculty for The CFJ Coaching Success School, a six-month program for coaches focused on the art of client acquisition through service. I live in Los Angeles with my husband and two rescue pups. In addition to continuing my own education about leadership, loving, equity, and inclusion, I also volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I am committed to living and trusting my Truth and helping my clients and community do the same.

Testimonials

  • Effie Brown

    ceo gamechanger films

    “I am unapologetically ambitious. I love the fight because I know how to fight, and I'm grateful to these behaviors because they got me to where I am. I also knew something wasn’t right. I was mentally and spiritually exhausted. Through working with Amber, she helped me recognize that these behaviors have served their purpose but will not get me where I am supposed to go. I needed help to identify, receive and implement grace into my life. This is the crux of the work that we do. These sessions are sometimes confronting but truly in the best possible way. Amber creates a safe space for me to freak out, cry, grieve but ultimately let these labels and behaviors go. Each session with Amber I come away feeling supported with new insights and tools to step into the next phase of my career and life.”

  • Gabby Bernstein

    “Amber embodies a feminine form of leadership that beautifully blends authenticity and compassion with get down dirty results. Her heart-centered message empowers women to embrace and celebrate their bodies and lives so they can play big in the world. Amber is one to watch.”

  • MICHAEL KRAMER

    Composer

    "I’ve finally been able to establish a solid routine in my life, including things like daily meditation to keep focused and centered. In my career as a creative person, I feel more confident than ever in expressing my authentic voice. I can clearly hear the change in the music I write these days. Probably the most profound changes in me have happened on the inside though. I've learned how to find balance, to forgive myself, to express gratitude, to stay curious, and to be courageous in the face of my fears. I needed my entire life to change - and that’s kinda what happened.

  • Mary Gallagher

    life and business coach

    "Through our coaching work, Amber has supported me both professionally and personally to create my most sacred and big-hearted dreams and deeply heal some of my most painful past experiences. Her coaching is dynamic. Her guidance is fierce and loving. And she has always had my back—even when I was uncertain or self-doubting. On the personal side, I've learned to soften past patterns of overworking and perfectionism. As a result, there is more ease, trust, and joy in my life today! Professionally, I'm stretching and growing and hitting my goals like bowling pins, while also working less and creating a business that serves me.”

  • Carolyn Freyer-Jones

    author, master coach and creator of the CFJ Coaching Success School

    "There are many coaches out there who work with coaches in their businesses. None of them are Amber Krzys. I have witnessed Amber help coaches go from under earning to finally earning, and from a modest income to an excellent one (multiple six-figures). She's not a good coach of coaches—she's a great one. That's why she's on the faculty at the CFJ Coaching Success School and it's why I know that if a coach gets to work with her one-on-one, great things are going to happen. She coaches deeply on the inner terrain and the outer one with deep love and dedication. Any coach I know who’s worked with Amber considers it one of the best decisions that they have EVER made."
