Hi, I'm Amy!

Trainer and professional coach with 25+ years of experience in education and development.​

Amy Williams, MA, DTR, RMT

Founder, trainer and consultant

I have a deep love and respect for children, and I believe we all want to be the best adults we can for them. But sometimes, we struggle and just don’t know what to do.

My passion is walking alongside you—helping you learn new techniques, practice skills that tackle challenges at home and in the classroom, and celebrate every success.

With my background in dance movement and expressive arts therapy, counseling, and education, I support children, educators, leaders, and families in making a real impact.

Let’s do this together!

At Amy Williams Academy,

We actively challenge bias, racism, stereotyping, and all forms of discrimination that permeate our society. We engage in self-reflection of our own identity through anti-bias, anti-racist training each year, and are committed to continuously challenging white privilege as it presents itself. AWA designs an inclusive curriculum that reflects diverse experiences and perspectives, instructional methods that advance all students’ learning, and strategies to create and sustain safe, inclusive, compassionate, and respectful learning communities. We believe that this work is life-long and necessary to a respectful and civil society.

As a Trainer & Professional Coach,

With long-term relationships with schools, businesses, and non-profit teams, I bring a variety of knowledge to the table. My goal is to use the experience I've gained as a teacher, school leader, counselor, movement and expressive arts therapist and educator coach to offer hope, inspiration, and humor for your classroom and beyond. I know the power of compassionate leadership, honest coaching, and engaging professional development. I will work with you or your team to uncover patterns and set goals that are inspiring and relevant.

I help educators & families,

Learn skills and gain confidence in how to be the best person possible in the lives of the children that you love. I know the power of compassionate leadership, honest coaching, and engaging professional development. I will work with you or your team to uncover patterns and set goals that are inspiring and relevant.

And yes.  This is me at age 5.
