My Story
Everyday, I strive to live an awesome life!
I am an Executive Life Coach, 2x TEDx Speaker, sought-after Workplace Wellness & Emotional Intelligence Trainer, best-selling author and host of the podcast: Power To The People Pleasers.
I am focused on co-creating transformational change for my clients through empathy, compassion and my ability to ask the tough questions that unlock new awareness and perspectives.
Coaching is a transformative tool that unlocks potential and fosters growth. By providing a safe and open space for reflection, support, and accountability, I empower individuals to explore new perspectives, overcome challenges, and achieve goals. This collaborative process leads to enhanced performance, personal development, and the realization of one’s full capabilities in various life aspects.
My mission is to inspire 10,000 humans to embrace their worthiness and release the daily overwhelm, pressure and stress that is preventing them from living the life they desire.
Helping me live an awesome life, are my husband and three beautiful kids, who light up my world and make me laugh constantly! You can often find us dancing around the living room and making silly faces and funny voices at each other. I try to instill in them the same values I do with my clients; that they are enough, their wellness matters, trying new things, exploring our creative sides and having fun are the path to experiencing our “awesome life”.
I have spoken to companies, and organizations nationally and internationally including BNI (Business Networking International), Ernst & Young, SunLife, Manulife, Vidyard, YPO, Hazelview Homes, Schlegel Villages, OTIP/ ORBIT, PROResp, canfitpro, where I am committed to making an impact on every stage.
I often speaks on topics such as intentional thinking, resilience, emotional intelligence, worthiness, work-place wellness and work-life harmony.
My mission is to inspire 100,000 humans to embrace their worthiness and release the daily overwhelm, pressure and stress that is preventing them from living the life they desire.
I hold a variety of coaching designations including: Certified Executive Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ACC), as a Board-Certified Trainer and Coach of Neuro Linguistic Programing, Hypnosis, and TimeLine Therapy®, Coach Practitioner of Imposter Syndrome and an Advanced Wellness coach. I am a life-long learner and provide high level coaching as a confidential thinking partner for my clients.
As the owner of Ballantyne Coaching, we offer a variety of options including executive, life, breakthrough and wellness coaching. The whole-person coaching approach serves executives, professionals and entrepreneurs to breakthrough their barriers and excel to new heights.
I am a Certified Genos Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, which allows me to provide clarity and guidance for individuals and teams utilizing the Genos assessment and system. This can be combined with 1:1 coaching, or utilized for teams within organizations.
I am a best-selling author, and recently released a new book called, “Celebrate Yourself: Become Your Own Cheerleader Through Mastering the Art of Self-Love and Unshakeable Confidence”.
As the host of the podcast: “Power To The People Pleasers”, a podcast focused on uplifting and encouraging individuals to say ‘yes’ to themselves more often, I have had the great joy of sharing my wisdom alongside a variety of truly fabulous guests.
I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and 3 athletic kids. I can often be found at the ballpark, in a hockey rink or at a dance competition. I enjoy reading, meditation and being out in nature.
I have been a passionate volunteer over the years for a variety of causes, most significantly for 10 years with the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope through Ovarian Cancer Canada. I continue to support programs such as the USANA Foundation, SickKids Hospital and World Vision to name a few.
My product partner for the last 16 years has been Usana Health Sciences. Finding a product partner I could trust was really important to me. With Usana and their science based approach, I have confidence personally consuming and recommending their products which are produced to pharmaceutical grade standards in an FDA approved manufacturing facility, where what is on the label is in the bottle. Additionally, I was excited by their Athlete Guarantee (http://usanaathletes.com) which states that their professional and Olympic athletes will not test for a banned substance. They put their money behind this statement with a one million dollar athlete guarantee. This is truly unique in the supplement industry and shows the safety and high quality of these products. It is the reason over 5000+ professional and Olympic athletes trust their health to Usana, as their body is their business.
As a coach, speaker and trainer, my aim is to support individuals to experience new levels of clarity, peace, calm and joy. I bring my gifts of enthusiasm, empathy, encouragement and passion to every interaction and am grateful for those clients and companies who have allowed me the opportunity to be a part of their journey!

Kind Words From Clients
Amy put together a wonderful wellness session for our Schlegel Village Sales teams in April 2023. The content was outstanding and her energy and approach to the session truly engaged the group to participate. Amy has a wonderful way to get people to open up and work together to come up with strategies on managing stress at work and at home. We look forward to our next session with Amy!
~ Brad Bushby, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Schlegel Villages
I had the privilege to have a coaching session with Amy. As a professional coach myself, I have experienced many coaching sessions, and Amy’s was one of the best I have ever had. She is authentic, empathic, warm and very intuitive. She was able to really hear my issues and, with warmth and caring, took me where I needed to be to start my journey towards acceptance and growth.
I would highly recommend Amy as a life coach and am looking forward to continuing working with her.
