About This coach

Meet Amanda Irtz, Your Parent Coach Who Makes Parenting Easier

With over 22 years of experience in education as a teacher, school administrator, and adjunct professor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the realm of parent coaching. As a devoted mother and CEO of two amazing kids aged 11 and 13, I have experienced firsthand the joys and challenges of single parenthood for over a decade. This unique journey has granted me a deep understanding of what it means to be the primary parental figure in a child's life.

Beyond my role as a dedicated parent, I am also a best-selling author, with notable works including "Clouds That Chase Us: A Journey into Autism," "Launch the Legacy," and "The Change Book." These publications reflect my passion for advocating and supporting families, especially those navigating the beautiful complexities of neurodiversity and the intricacies of modern parenting.

In my leisure time, I find solace and joy in the great outdoors, whether it's taking my beloved doggos for invigorating walks, conquering the slopes while skiing in the majestic Rocky Mountains, or gliding across serene waters on a paddle board. I am an avid reader and find immense fulfillment in immersing myself in captivating books. Additionally, I cherish quality moments spent playing board games with my children, creating cherished memories that resonate with warmth and laughter.

My multifaceted background and personal experiences have equipped me with a profound understanding of the nuanced challenges parents face. Through my coaching practice, I am wholly dedicated to providing empathetic guidance and evidence-based strategies to empower parents in nurturing thriving, resilient children. My ultimate mission is to inspire and support parents on their rewarding journey of raising remarkable young individuals.

Let's embark on this transformative journey together, where we can embrace the joys, conquer the obstacles, and celebrate the beauty of parenthood.

What Makes THEM Special?

As a Parent Coach, my special sauce lies in my unique approach to blending evidence-based techniques with personalized, empathetic support. I have a passion for working with parents who are seeking practical, effective strategies to navigate the joys and challenges of raising children in today's fast-paced world.

I also specialize in working with parents of neuro-diverse children, co-parents striving to communicate effectively and raise happy, healthy children, as well as parents of teens who are navigating the waves of adolescence. My experience spans various needs, and I firmly believe that there's no challenge too great. I'm dedicated to supporting every parent I work with, and I firmly believe that together, there's nothing we can't tackle.

What sets me apart is my focus on helping parents not only understand their child's behavior but also fostering a deep connection with them. I specialize in guiding families through the implementation of positive discipline practices, managing screen time effectively, and creating harmonious routines that support both the child and parent.

My coaching sessions are enriched by my background in working with children, teens and families for more than 22 years in the public school setting.   This rich experience allows me to provide a comprehensive perspective on childhood development and behavior. With a gentle yet firm approach, I empower parents to build nurturing, respectful relationships with their children while maintaining their own well-being.

Ultimately, my goal is to equip parents with the tools and confidence they need to raise happy, resilient children in today's ever-changing world.  Parenting is tough; let's make it easier!
