Amy Chang, MS, RN, NBC-HWC
Founder, Healthy Life Health and Wellness Coaching
Hey there — I’m Amy Chang, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a health coach, mom, and regular old person who knows what it’s like to feel burned out, overextended, and ready for something more grounded, healthy, and joyful.
I began my career in 1995 as a Registered Nurse, drawn to the privilege of caring for people at their most vulnerable — educating, supporting, and honoring their humanity. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester (Summa Cum Laude, 1999) and my Master of Science in Nursing in 2002, becoming a nationally board-certified Adult Acute and Critical Care Nurse Practitioner.
Then life got wonderfully full — I became a mom to three amazing humans (Maggie, Max, and Molly) and shifted my energy toward raising them, volunteering, and discovering new passions. Along the way, I fell in love with CrossFit — first as an athlete, then as a trainer and gym owner — and found that coaching others to believe in their own strength lit me up as much as nursing ever had.
After years of helping people both in the hospital and in the gym, I realized my favorite part was always the same: guiding others to feel confident, capable, and powerful in their own lives. That’s what led me to Duke Integrative Medicine’s Health and Wellness Coaching program (2019–2020), where I became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach — and Healthy Life Health and Wellness Coaching was born.
Today, I help people who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or out of alignment reconnect with themselves, take charge of their health, and rediscover their confidence. Whether we’re working on nutrition, energy, movement, or mindset, it’s all about helping you start choosing you — because that’s where everything begins to change.
At Healthy Life Health and Wellness Coaching, here’s what we believe to our core:
- You are not broken — you’re becoming.
- You’re not alone — we walk beside you every step of the way.
- You’ve got this — and we’ll help you remember that.
Together, we create inspired health for a lit-up life.
