The liberation guide for self-healers and seekers.

Amber Barnes - Recovering Perfectionist

Hello Beautiful Soul,

I'm Amber, and I’m here to walk alongside seekers and self-healers—those who are ready to break free from old patterns, reclaim their power, and step into true inner freedom.

For years, I searched for answers outside myself. I followed the rules, did the "right" things, and tried to mold myself into who I thought I should be. But no matter how much I achieved, something was missing—me.

Eventually, I realized that healing isn’t about striving, fixing, or becoming someone new. It’s about liberation—unraveling, unlearning, and returning to who you’ve always been.

Why Liberation?

Because I know what it’s like to be trapped by expectations—internal and external. To feel the weight of proving, performing, and perfecting. To seek healing but get lost in the endless pursuit of "getting it right."

But true healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about meeting yourself with deep compassion, feeling the feelings, and allowing your own wisdom to guide you home.

How I Support Your Journey

Through breathwork, coaching, training, and retreats, I create spaces where you can soften into yourself, reconnect with your truth, and step into your own liberation. My approach isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you release what no longer serves you so you can move through life with more ease, authenticity, and wholeness.

If you’re ready to stop searching and start remembering—to embrace yourself, your emotions, and your path as it is—I’m here for you.

Let’s walk this journey of liberation together.

With love and solidarity,
Amber
