Hi! I'm Amie

Creative Idea Facilitator for women in their Second Act.

About Amie

There’s a dream you’ve been carrying — a book, a film, a song, a business idea — and it’s been waiting in the wings for years. Life kept handing you more important things, and somewhere along the way the flame that once burned bright has dimmed. I know that feeling, because I’ve lived it. And I know what it takes to finally step onto the stage.

I help women in their Second Act take the idea living in their head and finally bring it into the world — as their idea facilitator, their producer, and their guide. I’m the partner who believes your dream is possible, especially on the days you don’t.

My work draws on more than forty years in the theater as an actor, director, and producer. I co-founded Northeast Stage in 1983 and served as its president. I’ve taken productions from first read to opening night, and I’ve carried ideas from a 72-hour film challenge all the way to a festival screening. Along the way, I trained and certified as a transformational coach. Put those together and you have how I work now: the instincts of a director, the discipline of a producer, and the care of a coach, all pointed at the dream you’ve been putting off.

My method is the Rehearsal Room™ — a safe space to try your idea on, take the real steps to produce it, and finally break through the fourth wall to make it your life.

Be the star of your own life.

I Believe you can change your
Life by Thinking.

Here’s what I believe: when we do the things that light us up, we give the people we love permission to do the same. Your dream isn’t self-indulgent. It’s the example you set. So let’s stop waiting. Let’s act now.

On a personal note…

I live in Greenport, on the North Fork of Long Island, with my husband, our two grown children nearby, and an English Springer Spaniel who believes every walk in the woods is the best day of his life. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me at a Shakespeare production, on a pair of skis, or planning the next trip somewhere new.
