Life as a Special Needs Mom is exhausting.

You no longer have to do it alone.

You love your child more than anything, but some days feel like pure survival mode.
Here, you don’t have to hide that truth. This is a space where you’ll find support, validation, tools, and connection from someone who is living the same life.

I help overwhelmed special needs moms stop surviving and finally start living again.

“You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t need permission to care for yourself. You are allowed to take up space, mama — even when life is hard.”
— Amy Luke
A Special Needs Mom with her son who has Down Syndrome Autism & ADHD

Hi, I’m Amy!

I’m a life coach and fellow special needs mom raising a child with Down syndrome, autism, and ADHD.

I know what it feels like to live in survival mode juggling therapies, navigating meltdowns, advocating at school, and carrying the kind of exhaustion that never seems to let up.I know what it’s like to pour every ounce of yourself into your child — and still feel like you’re falling short.

Through compassionate coaching, powerful mindset tools, and emotional support, I help special needs moms like you feel grounded, clear, and full again — even when life stays hard.

We don’t wait for the chaos to calm down. We learn to rise within it.

That’s exactly why I created this space: to give moms like us a place to exhale. To feel seen and supported. To find real tools and strategies that fit into this life not some picture perfect version of motherhood.

You don’t have to keep pushing through alone anymore. 💜
