Meet Amber Waves
I’m a Business + Retreat Coach, Astrologer, Energy Healer, and Retreat Hostess who loves creating transformative spaces where women can clear their energetic blocks, untangle the mental and emotional clutter, and align with your highest path.
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.
Through retreats, coaching, ritual, and embodiment practices, I guide women to trust themselves deeply, embrace freedom in your life, live intentionally, and experience the power of community.
In these sacred spaces, whether it’s one of my retreats, circles, workshops, or one-on-one sessions, expect to leave feeling lighter, clearer about what’s true to you, confident in your truth, deeper trust your own guidance, and ready to step back into your life on your own terms.
My Journey
I’ve always been fascinated by how humans connect, behave, and communicate.
Which is why I pursued my Master’s in Interpersonal Communication. After grad school, I spent my days teaching communication classes at the local university while bartending nights make ends meet.
I finally leapt out of the service industry 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.
Not too long after that, my partner Jack and I made a long-distance move to a new place where we both knew no one. I spent a semester teaching at a local university but the part-time pay plus the over an hour commute to the city was not worth it.
I was actually making less than minimum wage!
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.
Within a couple months, I landed my first role as a virtual marketing assistant, then eventually working my way up to Marketing Director. 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 my role at the agency and launched my web design and marketing business helping entrepreneurs build and launch websites, as well as online courses, memberships, and digital and physical products.
I thought I had made it!
It was exciting meeting all of these different entrepreneurs and small business owners all over the world, doing what they love.
But even then, I was still experiencing the same issues of burning myself out, undercharging my services, reaching for perfectionism, plus no time to focus on getting new clients.
I felt so alone working remotely and fed up with myself and my life. I knew this wasn’t the life I came here to live.
That’s when life shifted.
Moving to rural southeastern Indiana gave me the peace I’d been craving. I was first learning about energy healing and meditation, and starting to understand just how powerful we truly are.
I wasn’t just curious… 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 healer and spent alot of time at my local state park.
I was still craving community with people who are actually open to talking about energy healing, crystals, meditation or whatever metaphysical topic… without judgement.
Eventually, I got fed up with searching for community that I decided to start create one.
And that was the first spark of a retreat.
It still felt distant. I didn’t even know anyone interested in this work.
But the desire was real.
One day, craving real in-person connection after learning online for the past year, I searched “Reiki training near me,” and unbelievably, a class popped up in my tiny town of 1,000 people.
That synchronicity was a catalyst for connecting with local women who were on a similar path.
Soon after, I began bringing my first retreat vision to life, Camp Wild Spirit™, where women gather to reconnect with nature, sisterhood, and their wild selves.
Through this, my curiosity turned into devotion.
What began as a quiet longing for connection became the doorway to my purpose.
Nowadays… I help women 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.
Who I Work With
I work with women who are ready to step fully into their power and purpose including:
❥ Truth seekers + embodied women on the path of healing, growth, and expansion who want to embrace with your wild, untamed essence.
❥ Heart-centered entrepreneurs who want real-life, no BS guidance to build and grow a business that feel expansive, joyful, and true to their values.
❥ Visionary creators + retreat leaders who feel the call to host your own retreats or transformative experiences, but need clarity, structure, and support to bring their vision fully to life.
