About Us

I’m Amanda, a dedicated Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Timeline Therapy Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals unlock their authentic selves and achieve their true potential. My journey has been anything but conventional, and it’s this rich, diverse experience that I bring into my coaching practice.

With a background in entrepreneurship and finance, I understand the importance of structure and strategy when it comes to setting and achieving goals. My time in the arts has taught me the value of creativity, expression, and embracing the unique path we each walk. And as a single parent, I know firsthand the challenges of juggling responsibilities while striving for personal wellness and fulfillment.

In my coaching, I focus on helping you live authentically—guiding you to uncover your deepest values, clear away limiting beliefs, and take aligned action toward the life you truly desire. Whether you’re seeking to transform your career, enhance your relationships, or improve your overall well-being, my approach is personalized, compassionate, and grounded in practical tools like NLP and Timeline Therapy to help you release emotional blocks and step into your power.

Let’s work together to unlock your path to authentic living. You deserve a life that feels aligned with who you really are! 

Amanda is also Kathy’s right hand with bringing wellness to the world through retreats, coaching, networking events, and educational seminars.

I'm Kathy - I founded Monarch Wellness to be a haven for holistic health and joy that emerged from my personal journey of resilience and transformation during the pandemic. After 15 years in the corporate leadership world of healthcare, I found myself in a state of burnout. It was time to take back my health and reclaim my life. 

 The struggle was real – exhaustion, disconnection, depression, self-doubt and shame. I experienced a significant decline in physical health and the development/exacerbation of autoimmune diseases. It was a turning point, a moment of realization that prompted me to take charge of my well-being and reclaim my life. With the guidance of incredible coaches, I not only regained my health but also nurtured stronger relationships, particularly with myself and my husband and children. 

 Motivated to return to my roots of caring for others in a holistic way, I founded a private mental health counseling practice in St. Louis, Missouri, which has now grown into a multicity and multistate wellness sanctuary. 

 As a trauma-informed life coach and therapist, I bring a wealth of skills to the table – NLP certified, cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing theory, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and certification as a psychedelic assisted therapist and mindfulness coach. My passion lies in helping others discover joy and healthiness within their lives. 

 Outside the professional realm, you'll find me basking in the sun in my garden's egg chair swing, enjoying precious moments with my doggo and kitten cats, and caring for my pet turtle, Elmer. I cherish late night by the bonfire conversations with friends and love traveling with my husband, Jeff – especially to Chicago, my second home, where three of our four children reside. 

 Excitingly, Monarch Wellness is growing, with Amanda and my daughter, Megan, rounding out the team. Combining my expertise in coaching and mindfulness training with Amanda's NLP and life coaching certifications, as well as Megan's specialization in yoga, meditation, and art modalities, we're committed to curating transformative experiences that bring health and wellness to all. Join us on this journey of self-discovery, healing, and joy at Monarch Wellness. 

 Welcome to the vibrant world of Megan Schormann.  I am a passionate and multifaceted soul on the brink of completing my studies in Public Relations and Graphic Design at DePaul University. I am not just a scholar; but also a lifelong athlete who has channeled my energy into the realms of yoga and meditation. Currently on the verge of completing my Yoga teacher training, I believe in the profound beauty of nature and hold a fundamental belief in the inherent kindness within each person.

Based in Chicago during the school year, my summers unfold in Florida, where I lead a dynamic team for Origin Marketing/Aptive Sales. My leadership style is infused with a philosophy of perseverance and dedication, ensuring the delivery of the highest quality holistic products and services to all I encounter.

In my free time, I am all about the simple beauty in life. I like to immerse myself in the scenic beauty of Lake Michigan's lakeshore, cycling along its paths. As a connoisseur of thrifting, I love curating collections for my own life and those dear to my heart.  My adventurous spirit allows me to pursue journeys with my family, but I am also down for solo expeditions, with recent highlights including a mission trip to Guatemala and a leader's cruise in the southern Caribbean with my Origin colleagues.

When not on the move or finding treasures, I find solace in my garden, nurturing it with care, and cuddling with my adorable kitten duo - Birthday Boy and President Snow. I am so beyond excited to join my mom and Amanda in sharing with all of you my creative skillset and dedication to personal growth, holistic living, and an insatiable thirst for exploration and adventure. Join us in celebrating your own journey to wellness.  I hope I can help you embrace the richness of life with open arms.
