Hey Beauty! I’m Amy — entrepreneur, founder, event visionary, personal branding expert and mentor — dedicated to helping you build a business and life you’re proud to show up for.
From small-town Canada to building a multi-million-dollar brand, my story is proof that ambition paired with intention can create extraordinary results. I started my entrepreneurial journey in 2005 as a makeup artist, and a few years post-college, founded one of North America’s most successful makeup academies — graduating over 4,200 artists worldwide and counting. That was only the beginning!
After years living and working in New York and Los Angeles, I expanded beyond beauty — into retreats, conferences and curated experiences designed to empower entrepreneurs, build community, and inspire meaningful expansion.
Through The Chic Experience, I help ambitious entrepreneurs and companies step away from the ordinary and into the unforgettable. From sold-out mixers to elevated retreats, I design spaces where big ideas, bold moves, and genuine connections come to life.
And with Okanagan Corporate Retreats, I help companies reimagine their off-sites — curating high-impact corporate retreats or travel incentives that cultivate innovation, strengthen teams, and drive measurable results.
My Mission is straightforward and impactful: to empower you to overcome limitations and confidently step into the leadership role or the next level in your business — fully aligned with your values, and the clarity you need to succeed.
Through personalized 1:1 mentorship or The Chic Mastermind, I help you gain clarity, elevate your personal brand, and build unstoppable momentum — so you can step boldly into the next chapter of your success with purpose and confidence.
My Philosophy:
Show Up & Say Yes
There’s no secret sauce to success — but there is one truth I live by:
Show Up —
even when it’s uncomfortable.
Growth begins at the edge of comfort.
Say Yes —
even when it’s easier to say no.
Opportunities come to those who take action.
That mindset has taken me to rooms I once only dreamed of… and now, I help others get there too.
Whether I’m mentoring an emerging entrepreneur, hosting a workshop, or curating an elevated off-site for executives, I lead with intention and clarity.
What I Stand For
Authentic Connection
No surface-level networking. Real, meaningful relationships fuel success.
Confidence Through Action
Progress happens when you stop waiting and start showing up.
Beauty with Purpose
Beautiful spaces, thoughtful details, and experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Community Over Competition
There’s room for everyone. And when we rise together, we rise higher.
Elevate Your Vision. Expand Your Impact.
Whether you’re seeking clarity in your business, deeper connection in your work, or a retreat experience designed to expand what’s possible — you’re exactly where you need to be.
Whether you’re refining your business vision, craving more purpose-driven connection, or ready for a retreat experience that challenges and inspires — you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Now, let’s make those big wild dreams a reality! I am here to cheer you on, hold you to a high standard, and make connections or introductions for you, to help you soar to the sky!
I am so happy we connected! xx
