Meet Amy, Your Partner in Growth, Rebuilding, and Change

Amy Paluso

Hello, I'm Amy Paluso, a Career & Wellness Coach with an MBA and specialized training in whole-person wellbeing, including nutrition, sleep, and stress resilience and career coaching. I help busy professionals nourish their potential and thrive in their health, mindset, and careers.

As a mom and former corporate leader, I know firsthand what it's like to juggle deadlines, family needs, and your own wellbeing. I've navigated burnout, parenthood, and the messy, very real work of trying to feel like myself again in the middle of it all. Through those experiences, I learned that prioritizing yourself isn't selfish, it's foundational. And when we stop running on empty, everything in our lives’ shifts.

My daughter's journey with severe food intolerances broadened my understanding of whole-person wellness. Supporting her through complex dietary and lifestyle changes, while also serving as my dad's primary caregiver and managing my own stress and career, taught me that balance isn't something you 'arrive at,' but something you create through intentional choices. Moving through all of this at once showed me the power of compassion, adaptability, and care. These are the same qualities I bring to my work.

Before coaching, I spent many years as an IT Project Manager, leading teams through some very complex initiatives across diverse industries. Those experiences shaped the holistic, evidence-based approach I bring to my clients. I am as committed to helping people protect their capacity and wellbeing as I am to support their clarity, confidence, and fulfillment in their careers.

My coaching philosophy is simple: no one-size-fits-all plans, no perfectionism, and no pushing yourself to the point of depletion. I help clients build resilience, self-trust, and practical habits that support the full picture of who they are, not just their job title or their to-do list.

Outside of coaching, strength training is my main focus, with yoga, Pilates, and the occasional spin class in the mix — and I love trying something a little different now and then, like aerial yoga. In the kitchen, I'm always cooking, experimenting, and creating new recipes. The rest of my time goes to the people and things that recharge me: my husband, daughter, and two dogs, time with friends, a good podcast, long beach days in the summer, and always something new to read or learn.

If you are ready to create a more balanced, fulfilling life where your career and wellbeing support each other instead of competing, I'd love to walk that journey with you.
