Meet Amber Waves
I’m an Intuitive Business + Life Coach, Educator, Astrologer, and Retreat Alchemist devoted to helping humans bring their visions to life and creating transformative spaces where people untangle their mental, emotional, and energetic blocks, remember their power, and reconnect with who you truly are.
Together, we turn your dreams into real, inspired action. All while making room for play, curiosity, and joy. Because stepping fully into life on your own terms should feel magnetic, freeing, and unapologetically YOU.
I empower people to trust themselves deeply, embrace freedom in their life, live intentionally, and experience the power of community and connection.
Together, we’ll turn your ideas, desires, and dreams into soul-aligned action.
All while making room for play, curiosity, creativity, and joy ~ because stepping fully into your next level should feel expansive and empowering.
Whether it’s a retreat, workshop, one-on-one session, or inside the entrepreneur community, my intention is the same:
You leave feeling lighter, clearer, grounded in your truth, and more confident in your ability to navigate your path and bring your vision into reality.
My Journey
I’ve always been fascinated by how humans communicate, connect, and create meaning.
This curiosity led me to pursue my Master’s in Interpersonal Communication, a path that still lights me up today as I continue to teach as an adjunct communication instructor. Guiding others to become better communicators continues to shape my work as a coach, retreat leader, and speaker.
But my path was never linear.
I was still bartending nights to make ends meet when I stumbled across the opportunity to teach English to Chinese students virtually. That was my first taste of remote work, and a glimpse of freedom that made me wonder what else was possible.
Soon after, I was fascinated with learning web development, not knowing that this would spark my entrepreneurial path.
After moving long-distance with my partner Jack, I taught part-time at a university, but my 1+ hr commute was not worth what I was earning.
Over that winter break, I immersed myself into digital marketing, learning everything I can.
From the start, I committed to myself that I would never use my marketing skills to manipulate or deceive, which made finding aligned work super challenging, especially in Cincinnati, where corporate opportunities were everywhere.
However, within a couple months, I landed my first role as a virtual marketing assistant, then eventually working my way up to Marketing Director at a full-service digital marketing agency. While also launching and running a private bartending and event coordination business.
Despite all the “freedom” I thought I would have taking this path, I was burnt out, working every waking hour, underpaid, and with no boundaries, self-care, or fulfilment.
I eventually left the agency work and launched my own web design and marketing business helping entrepreneurs build and launch websites, brands, courses, masterminds, communities, digital products, and e-commerce shops.
I thought I had made it!
But the same patterns followed me.
Overworking, undercharging, perfectionism, loneliness, self-criticism.
I knew I was meant for something deeper.
That’s when life shifted.
Moving to rural southeastern Indiana gave me the peace and space I’d been craving.
I began studying energy healing, meditation, astrology, breathwork, yoga, and ancient systems like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. I realized that our thoughts, emotions, values, intentions, and energetic patterns shape our perception and reality, and that there is far more available to us than we’ve been taught.
But I began to grow tired of just information… I was hungry for more.
I wanted to immerse myself in a supportive environment where I could learn, heal, expand, and actually feel the transformation.
But the only retreats I could find were international, thousands of dollars, far away, and honestly, inaccessible for most people.
Nature became my teacher. The state park nearby became my sanctuary.
But I still craved community with people who just get it.
Eventually, I stopped searching, and started creating! And that was the first spark of a retreat.
A spontaneous search for “Reiki training near me” (in a town of 1,000 people!) opened the door to my first spiritual community.
From there, the earliest sparks of bringing my first retreat to life, Camp Wild Spirit™, took form ~ a retreat space where women gather to reconnect with nature, sisterhood, and their wild, authentic selves.
Nowadays… I help humans show up fully, unapologetically, and on your own terms so you can live lives that feel expansive, free, and brings more light into the world.
