Smiling Professionals founder and Health Coach, Amy Hodgson helps ambitious professionals realign with their health - so they can thrive in all areas of life

Amy has learned two critical aspects of well being in her own personal journey; how precious our nervous systems are and how powerful our immune systems are. She has experienced first hand that both of these mind-body systems are integral to our well being and believes they can be better understood and taken care of with the help and understanding of a holistic health coach.

For nearly two decades, Amy has worked as a civil engineer in construction and consulting—leading projects that contribute to the communities we live in.

“I still love the work. But over the years, I saw a pattern—in myself and in others. The more pressure we carried, the more we let our health slide. We normalised fatigue. We powered through stress. We wore busyness like a badge of honour”.

“Eventually, I realised: if we want to keep contributing to the world in a meaningful way, we have to care for the foundation we’re building from—our health”.

That’s what led Amy to become a health coach.

Today, she brings the same problem-solving mindset and strategic thinking used on complex infrastructure projects into helping ambitious people realign with their health—so they can keep doing the work that matters to them, without burning out in the process.

“What I love about my holistic health journey so far is that I have experienced how liberating and rewarding it is to maintain a very open mind.

I observe and learn with curiosity. I am frustrated with the lack of optimum health of our society, so I constantly seek solutions and creative ways to combat the sick paths that so many of us inadvertently follow.”

“I want to ensure that those in my community and beyond realise and remember that feeling under-par is not normal and shouldn’t be your normal. We don’t have to accept any burden our state of health or well-being places on us.  .

Many modern diseases are attributed to lifestyle and diet. If you don’t listen to the whispers from your body and respect it’s needs, any aspect of your mind-body system will start breaking down.
