Welcome To
Light Matter Coaching
Where personal development and forward movement take place organically when compassion, curiosity, and self-trust replace pressure and judgment. Growth unfolds naturally when people feel supported in ways that are responsive, relational, and genuine.
You Are Whole Just As You Are
However you showed up today is welcome. There is no need to become someone different or manage your thoughts and emotions in a particular way to move forward.
Your life has been shaped by the conditions, experiences, and choices that made sense along the way. The way you think, feel, and respond is part of what makes you uniquely you.
When there is space to explore your experience and aspirations with curiosity and compassion, a sense of agency can begin to feel accessible. From there, a way forward often emerges that feels grounded, sustainable, and uniquely your own.
Hi, I’m Amanda Heck
I’m the Whole Person Certified Coach behind Light Matter Coaching, and I’m glad you’re here.
I work with people who have been deeply engaged in their own personal growth and are beginning to notice that effort alone is no longer creating the momentum they’re looking for. Many are thoughtful, self-aware, and feel caught in an exhausting loop of trying to do things the “right way.”
My work centers on presence, ethical practice, and creating a compassionate, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming coaching relationship where people are met as whole and capable.
As a coach, my role is not to direct your path or provide answers. I offer steady support, share gentle context when it feels helpful, reflect patterns with care, and help create conditions where your own clarity, self-trust, and agency can feel accessible. From there, people often find they are able to move forward in ways that feel aligned and genuinely their own.
How Is Whole Person Coaching Different?
Whole Person Coaching supports the full human experience, including how you think, feel, relate, and make meaning over time.
Whether you arrive with a clear outcome in mind or are still finding your footing, the work at Light Matter Coaching honors your choice to name what you want to work toward. At the same time, it remains grounded in the understanding that clarity, direction, and priorities may shift as the work unfolds.
Multiple ways of understanding human experience are woven together and adapted to you, including emotional awareness, nervous system cues, meaning-making, creative expression, and embodied insight.
These perspectives are offered as support for clarity, integration, and self-trust, creating room for growth to unfold through awareness, compassion, and choice rather than pressure or performance.
The Light Matter Coaching process offers a clear and flexible structure designed to support reflection and continuity, while remaining responsive to you.
Coaching is client-led. There is no requirement to know your goals in advance or to move at a particular pace. Structure is offered as scaffolding for exploration, whether a goal is named or not, providing steadiness without pressure.
Together, we focus on what feels supportive and meaningful for you as your process unfolds.

Process ?
What Makes Light Matter Coaching Unique ?
Light Matter Coaching is grounded in a commitment to meet people as they are, with care, presence, and respect. The work centers dignity, safety, and each person’s lived experience, honoring the complexity of how identity, history, and context shape what feels possible.
Coaching is a collaborative relationship where clients are met as whole and capable. Differences in perspective, meaning, and lived experience are welcomed and respected as integral to the work.
From this foundation, people are supported in listening to and trusting what is true for them. Sessions remain focused and purposeful, helping clarity and direction take shape in ways that feel authentic, self-led, and aligned with what matters most.
How do we Connect ?
If you’re curious about what working together might feel like, the next step is a free Connection Session.
This is a 30-minute conversation where you’re invited to show up exactly as you are. We’ll explore what you’re navigating, talk through any questions or concerns, and get a clear sense of whether working together feels supportive.
There is no pressure to decide and no expectation to move forward. The intention is to connect honestly so you can make an informed decision in your own time.
