interviews

Q: Describe your company.

A: I am a multi-entrepreneur, and the Amy Wilhelmi brand encapsulates the things I do in one place. Primarily, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has evolved by expanding my work into writing several books, training, speaking events, coaching clients, providing traditional “therapy” and offering mediation. My specialty is working on mindset and mentality, particularly with athletes, as I am also a competitive bodybuilder.

Q: Do you plan to hire any additional staff or make any significant capital investments in your company in the next year?

A: I probably should hire an assistant, but I do have a contracted team that helps me with many things such as public relations, marketing, website design, etc. Along with my bodybuilding team — my trainers, team, massage therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, posing coach, bikini designer, makeup artist and other members — they keep that part of my life running smoothly. I rely on both my business team and my athlete team.

“As part of our Female Founder series, The Startup Magazine caught up with Amy Wilhelmi. Amy is a successful multi-entrepreneur as the founder of Balance Wellness Collective and Ascension Mentality, business & performance coach at Strategic Voyages Business Consultants, and licensed mental health therapist. As a speaker, author, and athlete, she is on a mission to become a global go-to thought leader in making mental health for athletes normalized, approachable, and accessible. As an athlete herself, she “gets” the mental health struggles, challenges, mentality, and grit it takes to perform at such a high level.

Ms. Wilhelmi is also the author of her book “Making Mental Gains.” This book is for individuals who feel stuck in their lives, personally and/or professionally. There are no hacks or gimmicks here. In her brazen, get-it-done style, Amy shows you how to move forward out of apathy through your everyday lifestyle habits, mindset, and belief system.

Her second book, called “Ascension Mentality,” comes out later this year and tells the story of her own journey through being a high performer, challenges throughout her life, and how she persevered through those challenges to be the person she is today.

By sharing her personal story of being a licensed therapist, performance coach, athlete mindset and mentality coach, and bikini bodybuilder, as well as sharing stories of others, Amy hopes that she can change the outlook for athletes so they have better mindsets, performance outcomes, and don’t feel like they’re struggling alone. Here she has shared more about her journey.“
