Amber Housley helps women grow thriving businesses and joy-filled lives through strategic coaching and impactful retreat experiences. Dabbling in entrepreneurship since the age of 4, she started her first real business in 2007, working in the fringe hours around a full-time job as a marketing executive. The corporate world wasn’t for her, so she took the entrepreneurial leap and has since built several six- and seven-figure businesses using her signature method for creating a thriving business & joy-filled life.

Combining experiences as a corporate marketing strategist and decades of event planning, she now shares her knowledge with women entrepreneurs through courses, coaching programs, and transformational retreats; teaching them how to build impactful businesses while maintaining a sense of joy and fulfillment.
