Personal Trainer, Wellness Coach, & Consummate Educator
Take a moment to stop and ask...
What's possible?
Feeling stuck? Unsure of what the next step in your wellness journey is? You have come to the right place!
My name is Amy West, and I help women and men of all ages to uncover their bodies’ innate wisdom and achieve the wellness they seek, one step at a time.
A commitment to movement & holistic well-being.
Movement has been the unifying thread of my career, shaping both my artistic and professional pursuits.
With 24 years as a professional ballet dancer and my current role as an assistant professor of dance at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance, I have devoted my life to exploring movement and its relationship to the body.
Beyond dance, my work extends into exploring holistic well-being. As a Mayo Clinic-certified and National Board-certified Health & Wellness Coach, with certifications in personal training, Pilates, and Essentrics, I collaborate with clients on a journey of self-discovery—unlocking strength in the body, mind, and spirit. Movement is more than an action; it becomes an integral part of who we are. My approach harnesses movement as a powerful tool for personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

Through Amy West Wellness Coaching I found relief from hip and lower back pain which I'd assumed was just something I had to live with. Amy suggested a set of very do-able strengthening exercises that had an almost immediate positive effect.
