Hello! Thank you for visiting this space…

…Let begin by sharing a little of what I know about myself. My name is Amalia Scott Jančič (they/them). I’m a genderqueer, multiracial, second-generation American, born to two first generation immigrants: my father, a black Jamaican who made his way to the U.S. in the 1980s on scholarship as a cross-country runner, and my mother, a white Slovenian whose parents immigrated to work at the University of Mississippi in the 1960s when she was a child. I grew up in Oxford, MS and find home now in New Orleans, LA. 

Because my life experience has me straddling multiple worlds, cultures, and diasporas, I have frequently found myself working with people who have struggled to find belonging—whether in their bodies, their relationships, their families, their communities, in the culture at large—and yet who bravely dare to seek it anyway.

My work is an expression of my ever-evolving love for people and my deep curiosity about the possibility of our interwoven liberation. If there is anything I know, it is that we are in a time where epochs are shifting, and we as humans are rewriting our narrative and reimagining our worldviews. In my 10+ years as a human helper of humans—as an astrologer, tarot reader, coach, and counselor—I’ve witnessed how transformative it can be to explore the stories that both hide in and speak through our embodiment. 

Growing up in Oxford, Mississippi as a biracial child, increasingly queer, and always navigating immigrant family dynamics informed by many generations of rupture, I came to know stories that denied me and many others like me our wholeness. I learned stories that told me humans don’t heal through relationship, community, lineage, or connection to land. Stories where identity politics flatten us into what can be “seen.” These were the stories that were familiar to me.

So I give thanks every day that somehow, there was enough love in this landscape to usher me toward the incredible humans who would become my deep friends, people who would introduce me to Black feminist, queer, somatic, abolitionist, and decolonial wisdoms. Leaning into the love of these wisdoms and the love of true friendship taught me how to love what was unfamiliar, how to craft new stories, and how to live into the truth that I am because we are (an Ubuntu wisdom I encountered first through Black feminists). I learned how to believe that relationship is the fundamental unit of existence, and that against all odds, I could learn to honor all my relations. Even the hardest ones.

Through this journey I’ve come to believe that when we step into these unfamiliar stories, wholly transformative relationship and community dynamics become possible. And within these unfamiliar stories, something deeply familiar begins to emerge: a way of being that frees us from the violence of what has been made familiar to us under Western imperialism. It is within this strange space of possibility that I root my work.

As a coach, I act as a midwife to this transformation. So many of us carry familiar patterns that oppress us, that keep us in disconnection, away from ourselves and each other. In our work together, I help bring forth the stories and inner wisdom that have been waiting just beneath the surface. Whether you come as an individual or within relationship dynamic, I support you in developing alignment between your intentions, your desires, your actions, and the impact your behaviors have on yourself and your environment. 

I draw on Internal Family Systems, somatic integration, archetypal work, Relational-Cultural Theory, Narrative Therapy, and my own lived experiences of working all the time to align with my values. My greatest ambition is to support people in the art of building mutually empowering relationships. This work is deeply relational, and meeting each person where they are is my joy. I stay grounded in it all through play and laughter.

My work is for the practical dreamers—the ones who know that something better is possible, and who are eager to build it with care and responsibility.

…And we can begin the work together.

My Educations:

• I grew up biracial in Oxford, MS, which was its own education on the daily ways that racism, bigotry, and white supremacy uphold the western empire.

• I hold a Master in the Science of Counseling at Loyola University in New Orleans, which also taught me a lot about what I’m up against in the mental health industry.

• I got my Bachelor’s degree from Columbia University in New York City, where I studied Art History and American Literature.

• I am a Certified Life Coach, trained through Symbiosis Coaching, an ICF-accredited coaching program.

• I am a Certified Evolutionary Astrologer through the Forrest Astrology Apprenticeship Program.

• I’ve worked in bookstores, museums, and have co-operated community library, art, education, and occult spaces in Brooklyn, NY, Oakland, CA, Grass Valley, CA, and New Orleans, LA.

• I underwent a 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher training through the Niroga Institute in Oakland, CA, though I did not go on to complete certification as a yoga teacher.
