Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amy Chauvin. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Amy , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the best advice you ever gave to a client? How did they benefit / what was the result? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)

The best client advice would be to never give up on whatever goal, dream or habit they are working on. The magic happens by taking small consistent steps! If you skip a day or two know tomorrow is a new day to start back up! Stay in alignment with what it is you are calling in. I have had clients tell me post working together with breathwork and coaching that they manifested something they were calling in under a week’s time for example an exact job! Other clients have manifested a new business and exact places to travel! Another client reduced so much anxiety and worry through breathwork that she actually gets 7 straight hours of sleep. Prior to working together, she showed me her fitbit and it showed she was up about 10 times every night never getting into a good sleep pattern. Life is to short to feel stuck, stressed and in a hampster wheel! Little by little saying YES to yourself you will see dramatic results.

Consistency is key and the compound effect really works. I always tell clients if they fall off of whatever their personal goal is don’t worry. Wake up tomorrow and start again. Small actionable steps work wonders.

I work with women that are ready to get unstuck, break-free from whatever might be holding them back to align with their purpose and all they are ready to call in (aka manifest).

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

For many years I knew I was here to inspire others and help them grow but wasn’t quite sure how. It was my own journey that lead me here today to being a mindset coach and breathwork facilitator.

Many years I had health issues along along with not being in alignment with my purpose. I was chronically fatigued, had no drive to do anything, and knew there was so much more. I felt so stuck for many years.

About a decade ago started a beautiful start to my journey. I started saying yes to myself slowly and then alignment with things that I had always dreamed of started flowing in. As this journey continued in seeking optimal health, and wellness (mind, body, soul) I stumbled upon a Virtual Breathwork Event. March of 2020 – I signed up for a virtual breathwork event and that was the beginning of the seed being planted of how my business started!

After that first virtual breathwork experience the only words that came out were “What the heck just happened, I need more of this in my life”. It is so hard to articulate the feeling of breathwork as I recommend everyone to try it for themselves because each journey is totally different yet undeniable results.

Over my first few sessions, my family was wondering why I was glowing? What I was doing? Mind you this was March of 2020 when the majority of the world was chaos and fear, I also had just been furloughed – I was simply breathing and saying yes to myself. Over the first few months of consistent practice (twice monthly), I started feeling lighter, in an uplifted mood, less stressed, less worry and things that would normally bug me just simply brushed off my shoulder.

The way breathwork makes me feel I knew I had to practice and learn how to share it with the world! Life is too short to not feeling really great! So I said YES to myself and I became double certified in breathwork in 2021..

Fast forward 2023, I walked away from my 9-5 to go all in on my mindset coaching and breathwork business! I work with clients virtually and locally in Rhode Island. I have created a high-powered 10-week coaching program for those who want to go all in and make some serious shifts in life to align with purpose and all it is they are ready to call in (manifest). I also offer monthly breathwork events and one-on -one private breathwork sessions both virtually and in person.

Breathwork is such a powerful modality. There are many known benefits of breathwork: stress reduction; feeling of calmness; habit shifts; gaining clarity; tapping into creativity; manifesting; reduced anxiety; better sleep and so much more!

The main topics and temes that I work with in my programs are; habit shifts; letting go; manifestation; gaining clarity; mindset shifts; stress reduction; soul purpose; who am I. These topics combined make a powerful tranformantional journey for my 1:1 clients.

The thing I am most proud of is watching my clients transform, shift habits, feel great, and shift into their purpose and all it is they are calling in. It is so beautiful when I get a message from a client with what they just manifested and how they are feeling! It is so incredibly fulfilling to be able to guide clients on their journey.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

Life is a pivot! The worst thing we can do is stay stuck in something that is not in alignment of who we are!

Not that long ago, I was working a corporate 9-5 as my full-time career. I had about a 2.5 hour daily commute on top of my 40-hour work week. I was working on my business little by little on the nights and weekends at that time. About 5 months prior to me giving my notice to focus full-time on my business I was faced with many moments where I knew a pivot was needed. Throughout this time I was so uncomfortable going to work each and every day – feeling drained, not sleeping, full of anxiety, feeling like a ball of jello by the time I got home and then they day came where enough was enough I gave my notice and jumped all in to my coaching and breathwork business. It is so worth getting support through life transitions to make them less stressful – hiring a coach that has been there and succeeded through the process. This can save years of stress and dread in life. After speaking with so many women one wish all have in common is they wish they did wait so long to do somenting ie. quit the job; get out of the toxic relationship; retire; go on that trip; say yes to them selves. Life is to short to be stuck being stuck for extended amounts of time!

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

For many years I was incredibly shy! Being shy will not help you grow as a person or a business owner. I had to over the years learn to face fear and do it anyway. In 2018 I had a final interview for a company that was supposed to be conducted in person where they would fly me out, but plans changed and it turned into a Zoom interview. I literally panicked and declined the final interview because of being shy and being interviewed over Zoom by five people. Fast forward to 2023 over 75% of my business is conducted virtually and I have hosted live virtual events for over 50 participants at a time. The lesson I had to unlearn was being shy and that it is safe to be shy. Right around 2020 when I started saying yes to myself and investing in myself through self-care and coaching is when I started to release the story that it was safe for me to be shy. It was a true leap to step into my power and share my unique gifts with the world.
