Each module contains an average of 75 minutes of recorded video lessons. In addition, you can also expect to spend an average of 75 minutes of independent study for the assignments, reflections, and meditations in each module. This works out to about 2.5 hours per module.

What does it mean to have lifetime access to the program?

1. You don’t have to worry about deadlines or falling behind. You can take the program at your own pace without anxiety about losing access.
2. You can re-take the program as many times as you want to and re-vist the program content at anytime. Participants are encouraged to go through the entire multiple times at different stages in their lives, because your self-care needs will change with your life circumstances.
3. You’ll have access to future versions of this program and updated content. The content in this program will be updated periodically with current self-care research and practices.

A full refund will be given to any participant who purchased the program, completed the program and assignments, and was not satisfied with the experience.

You can access the program on your computer or we have a free mobile app so you can access the program on your phone.
How do the office hour calls work?
After enrollment closes, all new members will receive a survey to see what days and times work for you. The monthly calls will be scheduled based on what works best for the group. These calls will be recorded in case you are can’t make it, and you can submit questions in advance to be answered on the call. Office hour calls are scheduled once a month for 90-minutes. These are group coaching calls with Ami and you can join in from your computer (where we can all see each other in real time) or call in from your phone. This is a safe space to ask questions, get support, review assignments, or work through current issues regarding self-care.

Who is this program NOT right for?
This program is not a good fit for anyone looking for a quick fix to burnout. This program will take you through a process to find the solutions that are right for you and involves deep self-reflection, which is a process that cannot be rushed.
I’m so busy. I want to do this, but I really don’t have the time.
It’s often when you don’t have the time for self-care that you need it most. Not having enough time is one of the biggest obstacles to self-care, so this program will address this, and cover time management techniques for self-care improvement.

A Note From Ami (click to open)
As your guide, here are 5 things I will do for you in this program:
1 – I’ll be the calm and encouraging voice that treats you with respect, grace, and patience – with the hope that you will learn to treat yourself this way too.
2 – Help you find a compassionate understanding and awareness of your patterns, behavior and mindset when it comes to burnout, stress, and self-care – and uncover what needs to change.
3 – Guide you through a comprehensive self-exploration process to define and implement healthier beliefs and habits to sustain your long-term self-care.
4 – Provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore and work through your challenges with self-care and celebrate your progress.
5 – Gently, kindly, and consistently push you to reach new experiences of fulfillment, vitality, and joy in life while teaching you practical stress management and burnout prevention tools for the everyday stressors and for life’s bigger challenges.
I was only two years into my career when I first experienced burnout. I was so confused as to why a job I loved was draining me so much, especially so early on in my career. So I left my job and started a private practice because I thought having more freedom would help me avoid burnout. But it just came back in a different way a few years later.
Then, in graduate school, I completed my thesis on burnout and self-care, and immersed myself in self-care and burnout education. I learned that I was not alone in my experiences with burnout and stress, and that there are realistic solutions to live a more balanced life. However, these solutions are not always obvious or easy to maintain.
Although we know we need to take care of ourselves, it’s easy not to. Self-care might seem like a basic life skill. However, it’s often something we need to re-learn as adults, and continually reshape as we move through life. I created this program to help you do this.
When it comes to self-care, there are a couple things I want to clarify:
First, is that self-care is more than just what you do in your free time. Self-care is more than going for a massage or treating yourself to things. Self-care includes your everyday behavior and mindset in regards to how you care for yourself. This involves respecting yourself, not being so hard on yourself, managing your time, allocating your energy, setting boundaries, and honoring your limits so that you can feel alive and present in your own life.
Second, is that I’m not against hard work. I believe in doing the best work you can and making impactful contributions through your work. Self-care doesn’t mean not working hard and working hard doesn’t mean you’re not caring for yourself. I believe that both self-care and hard work can coexist.
Now, take a deep breath in, and exhale.
I created this program to make self-care a lifestyle, and not a struggle for you. My goal for you is that at the end of this program you are kinder to yourself with a greater capacity to truly enjoy your work and your life.
