Dr. Cielle Amundson

"Speaking to you, I felt my power and vision were lovingly held, pushing me past my tipping point to action. Your clear insight into my skill sets and business acumen has been invaluable."

Michelle Kais

"Your reflective listening brought clarity and a mindset shift that was crucial for me. You've given me permission to be myself, blending spiritual and business coaching seamlessly."

"One of the things you did was use a lot of techniques that we use in therapy, which I haven't seen many coaches do. The biggest thing was your reflective listening. Biggest thing that I got is clarity."

"I love a lot of mindfulness work and visionary work. And so, through that mindset, visionary work, you helped me be like, "No. What does living 'as if' really look like?" And I got to close my eyes right now, and I did feel that is a long-term effect of just working together."

“It was almost like you—I don't know if you do this intentionally—but you gave me permission to be me and be like, "Hey, that's you. That's who you are. It's okay." I felt it.”

FOR COACHING

What is the Live As If Philosophy?

The Live As If Philosophy is rooted in the belief that integrating radical rest and strategic delegation into daily routines helps business owners grow their businesses farther and faster. Scientific evidence shows that rest improves cognitive function, creativity, and decision-making.

This philosophy promotes the idea that a well-rested brain is more efficient and capable of leading a successful business.
