Working with Amena has been an absolute joy.  She is like an oasis in the desert; a growing flower in a concrete jungle.  Her guidance and expertise, and the grace from which she delivers is both unique and astute.  For anyone building business in the wellness space, I give Amena my highest recommendation.

‍

Working with Amena every week during the sprint was like a breath of fresh air. Every session energized me and helped me get more concrete and specific about my project and what I needed to do to make it real. Amena is is great at asking questions and listening deeply to understand what I need, always validating her interpretation with me. She is encouraging without being pushy, and she is gentle but firm in holding me accountable to my commitments. I highly recommend working with her if you are getting started with a project, or if you are stuck and need some inspiration to design your next project.

‍

Amena always "turns up" to our meetings and brings an enthusiastic and infectious energy to our sessions. She is extremely intuitive which comes in handy when I am trying to avoid something difficult and she knows how to bring me back on course. And not let me away with shit!

‍

Amena has created a safe space for me to delve deep into what has long been holding me back from achieving my goals as a painter - from past experiences to long standing behavioral patterns of perfectionism, procrastination and postponement. She has helped me develop the tools to create a new reality where everything is possible despite my many fears of failure and disillusion. She has the ability to break down big goals into small, achievable and actionable steps and has kept me accountable while cheering for my progress, big and small, every step of the way. Her kindness, caring spirit and positive energy are genuine and infectious and helped me transform a very painful process into a life-changing experience that will help me for the rest of my life. Every session involved pain and tears but somehow, thanks to Amena, it ended in smiles, laughs, renewed hope and momentum to take action and knock things down my list of things to accomplish to set myself up as an an artist.

"Amena has the unique gift of turning a difficult concept into a clear, tangible brand. She used her creative genius to draw from my many years of teaching ancient wisdom principles to the practical world of leadership – and landed the hidden value in a punchy way.  That allowed me to grow The Suited Monk into a recognized brand for international companies buying my books, license, workshops and coaching services worldwide."

“Lumina Wellbeing worked on various sprints for our wellness innovation & consulting agency supporting spas, resorts and retreats.

On a personal level, her intuitive guidance can help coach you through roadblocks, bounce strategic directions and bring new personal growth challenges to energize you on your path.

On a professional level, the design sprints have helped us download where we are at and envision together with the team what is next.  This guiding compass and new ‘out of the box’ ideas have harnessed a lot of excitement, heaps of inspiration and activated our business to the next level.

For us, it’s like that doctor’s annual check up you don’t want to miss, every time we feel time the need to level up!”

“Amena has a rare gift, one that has challenged me more times than I can count when I thought I knew what was best for my business - she sees the future. She’s able to find patterns and connect dots that can seem at first to be a stretch, only to prove prescient after a short time. And I’m grateful for it. She was able to identify where the model of peak performance I’d been developing for over a decade belonged - it’s positioning, format, and market. It was a terrifying insight, and one I was resistant to at first. But between her insistence on tribe-based coaching and key insights for content creation to reach them in new ways, my business wouldn’t be where it is today.”

“When I decided enough was enough and I wanted to take REAL action to build my business, I managed to get into an MBA course – part time and over 2 years at a cost of over $20000 to prepare me. But in just 12 weeks of intense design sprints allowed me to be "prepared" with a clear vision and with a significant reduction in outlay. Most valuable for myself was overcoming inner doubts, fending off fear and giving myself permission to “live” rather than waiting to die. Strong stuff I know but it is heartfelt. In addition, I was not made to feel minimised when receiving direct and blunt feedback to ensure I stay on task. With my years of experience, I know I may have the fantasy of “knowing it all” so it was great to still learn things and be humble. On the flip side, it was also great to re-learn and recognise my strengths and build on them.Most of all: the ability to recognise that YES - I CAN DO IT!

“It was truly a transformative experience for me and I've learned so much along the journey. The topics, process and homework are provocative and innovative, and although we covered both personal development and design, the integration between the two elements was done very well. Thanks again for all your dedication and support!.”

“An ancient proverb says...'through wise counsel plan your strategy'. As a visionary and cultural entrepreneur Amena has helped me synthesize core ideas and given peripheral perspective to focused objectives . She provides both in-depth and streamlined consultancy when launching new projects and blazing trails. She possesses the rare gift of insight and the highly attuned skillset of foresight . Amena is the epitome of iron sharpens iron. As a visionary leader, she is my go to “vision therapist.”

“(Perhaps) this is something of a coincidence, but I believe it’s more about the energy you have helped nurture and develop these last few days for me and the marketing staff. I can feel the power of positive thinking and actionable steps. Take a look at this data and it’s surprising, amazing. I am not surprised but more in awe of the impact that you have done and inspired. Thank you!

“Amena is one of the most humbly inspiring people I've worked with. When working with people from any culture and background, she's a master at communicating. This, mixed with her naturally positive energy means that when working on a project challenge, Amena guides people towards clarity, producing impactful results.”

“Amena has tremendous passion, drive and an infectious energy, which makes her stand out amongst the people that I’ve worked with. She listens to you with patience, truly understands you and articulates a vision for you that totally makes sense. The bottom line is she gets it, which few do. She’s the one person who has stood by me, always encouraging me along the way, providing support and creative ideas to keep the dream alive as I move my hospitality project from concept to implementation.”

“I've worked with Amena a couple of times dealing with finding creative ways to implement new business concepts and her skills and talents are superb. She has an amazing way of transferring everything in your head down on paper and is able to organize all of that information into a solid set plan of action.”
