Caregiver, Wellness and Self Care Coaching based in Redding, CA
Hi, I’m Amber!
Welcome to Care With Balance, this is your place to find support to help reframe the overwhelming and often lonely emotions caregivers struggle with. Do you feel burned out, stuck, isolated, powerless, or resentful? Or are you finding yourself slipping into grief, depression, or anxiety? Perhaps you are going through a large transition, and you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you have everything under control, yet you know it can still be so much better! Whatever your current circumstance is, I am here to help! This is a safe space to have open, honest and hard conversations on unspoken real emotions and thoughts. You have a voice, and it is OK to ask for help!
As a former caregiver myself for over 20 years, my education background combined with my personal caregiving experience has inspired me to coach others. My mission is to provide hope and relief to prevent caregiver burnout with the goal to create a healthy balance in your life. I am here to help! Let’s get connected so you can get the care YOU need!

Caregiver Coaching
Although caregiving is a uniquely rewarding experience, it can also be a mentally and physically demanding job. It can have a negative impact on your physical and mental well-being if you do not have proper support. Burnout is known to be one of the worst enemies of a caregiver, causing caregivers to quickly grow into anger, resentment and depression when left unchecked. Services like Caregiver Coaching can help you provide high-quality care while also achieving emotional stability. By choosing to work with me, I can help you work through your emotions, learn to set boundaries, improve problem-solving skills, and better communication with you and your care recipient and other family members.
Some of the ways a caregiver coach can help:
Work through emotions or thoughts in a safe, non-judgemental place
Relief to prevent fatigue and burnout
Addressing grief, depression, resentment or anxiety
Assistance dealing with difficult siblings and family members
Prioritizing yourself and discovering balance with your own needs
Support going through a transition
Help communicating with medical providers
Assistance with the next steps for progressive care and planning
Assistance with developing an emergency care plan (trust, will, medical directives etc..)
Help finding life after caregiving
“Caregivers go through more than they will tell you. They give up a lot and rarely have a social life. They can get sick and emotionally worn out. It’s a lot for one person and you will never know until you have walked the road of a caregiver.”

Health & Wellness Coaching
For some of us, health and wellness changes do not happen alone. It takes more than eating a special diet or exercise. Changes that can last happen when you look at the body as a whole; intuitively finding out what could be stopping you or holding you back from getting your desired outcome.
If you have questions about building healthy new habits that will outlast our sessions together, I can help navigate you through emotional eating, autoimmune complications, and other frustrations you may have. Shifting your view and taking care of your mind is the first step to achieving control and strength back into your day.
Health & Wellness Coaching Includes:
Health & Wellness Consultations
Custom Food Plans & Recipes
Strategies to Reduce Stress
Weight Loss & Fitness Support
Action Plan for Healthy Habits
Navigating Emotional Eating Ties

Self Care
Stress can get the best of any of us; and self care is known to be a crucial part towards leading a stress free life. However, exercising self care can look different for everyone. I can assist you in defining what self care means for your personal physical and mental health. Bringing you one step closer to a life of fulfillment.
Internal and external pain often holds us back in daily life. I am trained in multiple modalities that can help relieve pain and improve overall health. I am a Certified Massage Therapist, trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, and Sports massages. I am also trained in Graston Therapy, an evidence-based method of using instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to improve quicker outcomes of soft tissue lesions, adhesions, “knots”, and scar tissue. Neural Reset Therapy (NRT) may also help you. NRT is a pain free modality that briefly stimulates the selected muscles through taping or vibration on the muscle to help release tightness causing pain. Lets work together to find the best self care options for you.
Self Care Treatments Include:
