About us

We are Amanda & Martine, co-founders of Ignite Your Fire Within & Raise the Vibe Sisterhood. We are Sisters. Coaches. Women who’ve been there. We want to help women understand that positive change is possible regardless of circumstance. We believe that within each of us, we hold ALL the power we need to create a happier and more fulfilling life. 

It was through our own pain and suffering that started us on this journey. A few years ago, we hit rock bottom and we thought we would never smile or feel whole again. After caring for and losing both our parents to cancer a few years apart, nursing them at home, we were grieving, burnt out and exhausted, while working full-time, raising families, and trying to hold everything together but we were lost and broken. We knew the importance of having a strong mindset but as we discovered, there is a difference between knowing something & applying it to your life. It was in our darkest hour when we faced grief, trauma and pain that we made the decision to find a way to heal and make our happiness a priority. That was the start of our journey to turn our pain into power and when our Sisterhood was born.

We committed to an array of personal development, everything from life coaching and certified breathwork practitioner training, cold water therapy and reiki, to the study of the law of attraction, meditation, mindset work, and self-love practices. We’ve experienced first-hand the power of these practices to heal and empower the mind, body, and soul. Today, we no longer just survive, we thrive. Our personal transformation through these tools has completely changed our lives.

Our mission is to give women practical tools to support their own unique transformation, so they can step into the highest, most joyful version of themselves through love, connection, and sisterhood. We do this by creating spaces and events, both online and in person, where women can heal, reconnect, and rise through movement, mindfulness, and mindset. Most of all, we offer sisterhood and a sense of belonging, because no woman should ever feel alone on her journey.
