Conscious Growth & Leadership Coach.
I’m Amelia Kruse, a Conscious Growth & Leadership Coach (PCC, EQAC) with over eight years of experience guiding creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders to reconnect with their truest selves and lead with clarity, authenticity, and impact. I recently rebranded my practice — Amelia Kruse Coaching is now Sageform — explore more here.
In my coaching, I help clients navigate challenges, embrace transitions, and cultivate powerful relationships with themselves, their teams, and the world around them. By elevating emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and authenticity, I empower clients to show up as visionary decision-makers, communicators, and action-takers. My approach blends years of experience with emotional intelligence coaching and leadership development, designed to increase clarity, confidence, and impact.
Before becoming a coach, I worked in environmental consulting in Sydney, social entrepreneurship in Africa, and creative leadership at Refinery29 in New York. This journey across diverse ecosystems, industries, and roles shaped my grounded, spacious coaching approach — attuned to both the individual and the wider system they operate in.
I hold a Master’s degree in Ecology and certifications as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Emotional Intelligence Assessor (EQAC). But beyond credentials, it’s my presence, intuition, and years of experience that catalyze transformation for my clients.
My background in ecology plays a crucial role in my coaching philosophy. I believe that when creatives, leaders, and businesses are informed and inspired by the natural world, they can achieve sustainable growth and meaningful impact..

Why accreditation matters
Coaching is a wide and diverse industry, both in subject matter as well as renown. As a client, it can be difficult to navigate the range of claims, stories, testimonials and services offered by those who call themselves coaches. Unlike psychologists, coaches are not legally required to become accredited or certified in order to use the title of coach. Theoretically, this means that anyone can call themselves a coach, regardless of the amount of training or experience they’ve undergone. This makes life harder for those seeking a coach because it’s even more difficult to determine who actually has the skill set and instruction to help you on your journey.
For this reason, accreditation from an institution is paramount. The main accrediting body in coaching is the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In order to become accredited, coaches must undergo rigorous study, training, mentoring and examination. They also must continue their studies in order to keep their accreditation.
When a coach is accredited through the ICF, you can rest assured that they have the necessary training and experience for their coaching practice, just as any professional degree.
“Working with Amelia was a truly transformational experience. She really helped me through some big questions and pushed me to reframe my thinking so I could approach life in new ways. Rather than addressing each problem directly with straightforward action items, she challenged my assumptions and guided me to understand my goals and motivations at a deeper level.”
