Hi. I’m Amalia Scott Jančič.
Alongside my beloved clients, I court the generative mysteries of existence, and come back with what it takes to start offering your gifts to your ecology with the full force of who and what you are.

If you’ve been searching for a coach who gets it —the complexity of living between worlds, the weight of inherited stories, the specific ache of wanting relationships and communities that actually feel like home— you’re in the right place.

This work is for people who are ready to stop translating themselves and start becoming. I work with with individuals and relationship systems (including partnerships, chosen families, and working groups) who are ready to move from familiar patterns that oppress into something freer, and more alive.

In coaching work I use tools from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic integration, Narrative Therapy, Relational-Cultural Theory, and archetypal tools like Astrology and Tarot. I come to this space ready to help you develop alignment between your intentions, your desires, your actions, and the impact your behaviors have on yourself and your environment.

In other words, I help you become the person you actually recognize and respect.

My work is particularly resonant for creative, queer, BIPOC, multiracial, and immigrant diaspora folks, and anyone navigating the specific exhaustion of existing in multiple worlds at once, but not necessarily belonging fully to any of them. I work with clients online across time zones and continents and I’ve come to love what that international reach makes possible: people from different geographies bringing their local wisdoms into shared space.

Where I come from

I am because we are.

This Ubuntu wisdom, which I first encountered through Black feminists, is the heart of everything I do. I didn’t arrive here easily.

I’m a genderqueer, multiracial, second-generation American. My father is a Black Jamaican who came to the US in the 1980s on scholarship as a cross-country runner. My mother is a white Slovenian who’s parents immigrated to work at the University of Mississippi in the 1960s. I grew up in Oxford, MS —biracial, increasingly queer, navigating family dynamics shaped by generations of rupture— and I internalized stories that told me that humans can’t really heal through relationships, community or connection. The stories I grew familiar with as a kid in Mississippi were ones that flattened identity into what could be “seen.”

Against all odds that sometimes still surprise me, I found love anyway. In Black feminist, queer, somatic, abolitionist, and decolonial wisdoms, and in the friendships that introduced me to them. Through that love, I learned that relationship is the fundamental unit of existence. I learned that we can honor all our relations —even and especially the hardest ones. And I learned that when we step into unfamiliar stories, something deeply familiar begins to emerge: a way of being that frees us from the violence of what Western imperialism has made ordinary.

Now I call New Orleans home, and when I’m not working with y’all, I’m working as a counselor (PLPC) at the New Orleans Pride Counseling Center. So I take these philosophies to work with me every day.

How we work together

Part of what shapes my the work I do with clients is a question I keep returning to on my podcast This Erotic Timeline: how do the large forces, like the shifting of epochs, the unraveling of old worlds, and the slow emergence of new ones, actually land in the human body? How do they shape the decisions we make about our relationships, our communities, and our lives? I’ve found that the personal, the societal, and the planetary are never really separate, and I believe that truly great coaching holds all these things.  

In our work together, I act as a midwife to your transformation. So many of us carry familiar patterns that we inherited, that were conditioned into us, that helped us survive, but that keep us in disconnection from ourselves and each other. In the coaching space, I help bring forth the stories and inner wisdom that have been waiting for you all along, just beneath the surface.

Whether you come as an individual or within a relationship dynamic, our work builds alignment between your intentions, your desires, your actions, and the real impact your behaviors have on yourself and your environment. I bring 10+ years of experience as a professional human helper of humans, and I draw on IFS, somatic integration, Relational-Cultural Theory, Narrative therapy, and archetypal work including Astrology and Tarot.

This work is deeply relational. Meeting you where you are is genuinely my joy. I stay grounded in this with you through play, laughter, and the occasional well-placed absurdity.

Who this work is for

The practical dreamers. The ones who know something better is possible in their relationships, their bodies, and their communities, and who are eager to build it with care and responsibility.

If that’s you: I can’t wait to meet you.
