Amanda Augustenborg
Certified Mayo Clinic Wellness Coach
About
Hi, I’m Amanda, a Mayo Clinic certified wellness coach and recognized Smart Stepfamily Therapy Provider. I’m also a mom, a partner, and someone who truly understands the messy, meaningful work of building a blended family.
I started Blended Family Wellness because I’ve lived it. I’ve been through divorce and faced the challenges of rebuilding my life while trying to create a new sense of normal for my children. But my story didn’t end there. I found love again with my wonderful partner, who has two daughters of his own. Together, we’ve created a peaceful blended family home filled with laughter, growth, and plenty of learning moments. From navigating big emotions and co-parenting dynamics to creating new routines and traditions, the road isn’t always easy — but it’s absolutely worth it.
At Blended Family Wellness, I help individuals and couples move through life’s toughest transitions—like divorce and stepfamily challenges—with greater clarity, confidence, and compassion. My coaching methods are grounded in established evidenced-based research and theory of behavior change. My goal as your coach is to provide compassionate support and help you set achievable goals that are in line with your values. Wherever you are on your journey, I'll meet you there. Together, we can build the kind of life that feels good to you—not perfect, but real and strong.
You’ve got this, and I’m here to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered—because your story isn’t over. In fact, I hope it's just the beginning of something beautiful.

Why have a wellness coach?
A wellness coach helps you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be—in your health, mindset, relationships, and overall well-being. Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're juggling work, family, stress, and self-care.
Whether you're navigating major life transitions, feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply want to live with more balance and intention, a wellness coach helps you:
- Set meaningful, realistic goals
- Design lifestyle experiments
- Manage stress and emotional overwhelm
- Overcome barriers
- Stay accountable to your life plan without judgment
It's not therapy. It's not advice. It's partnering with someone who believes in your ability to grow—and helps you get there.
Why have a stepfamily wellness coach?
At Blended Family Wellness, we believe families don’t have to fit a mold to be meaningful. With the right support, even the most complicated stories can grow into something beautiful.
Stepfamily life isn’t easy—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, I help couples tackle the chaos, strengthen their bond, and build a home that actually works—for everyone. Real talk, real tools, and a coach who gets it.
Unlike traditional family counseling, a stepfamily coach specializes in the unique dynamics of blended families, offering personalized strategies for improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering strong relationships. Whether you're struggling with co-parenting, a toxic ex, navigating loyalty binds, or building trust within your household, I can provide practical tools to help you create a supportive and loving family environment. I stand ready to help you turn the challenges in your life into opportunities for growth and connection.
Who is stepfamily coaching for?
- Couples contemplating or entering a stepfamily dynamic and those who've been at it for a while.
- Parents seeking to build lasting positive relationships with their kids and/or stepchildren.
- Anyone looking to enhance family bonding and emotional resilience.
Why have a divorce wellness coach?
Divorce is one of the most grueling and challenging journeys in life that no one wants to take. Just like you'd need a guide to embark on a trek up Mount Everest, having a coach by your side during divorce is the best way to prepare and ensure that you make it to the top of the mountain triumphantly. Unlike attorneys or other divorce specialists, a wellness coach offers a clear, non-judgmental and empathetic space to process your feelings, reduce overwhelm, set goals, and gain confidence in your decisions.
You coach is your partner through the storm and up the treacherous mountain terrain. Whether you’re struggling with communication, co-parenting, or simply feeling stuck, a wellness coach helps you stay focused on your goals and move forward building resilience. With Amanda's support, you’ll be able to navigate the emotional, practical, and logistical aspects of your life while going through a divorce and feel empowered to make informed choices to create a strong foundation for the next chapter of your one precious and remarkable life.
