After gaining weight due to bad eating choices, Amber began studying and applying knowledge on how to lose weight and heal the body as well. Amber went on to receive a license and several certifications in the health and beauty fields. She became a licensed cosmetologist who specialized in the skin care and hair care for women and men, as well as developing a makeup line. Subsequently, Amber received her certification as a Health Coach from the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. She also received her certification as a Group Fitness Instructor from the American Council on Exercise (ACE).

Motivate & Elevate was started by Amber Barnes, a high-performance expert, entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker and philanthropist. But it wasn’t always this way. One day, Amber thought she had it all: a loving and supportive relationship, a lovely daughter, world-wide travel and all the other things that go along with the fairy tale life. Suddenly, her world were turned upside down. She was shaken awake from her dream life and forced to realize she had NOT been living her best life, had given up on herself and the dreams she always had. She realized she felt empty and was living the dreams of everyone else and was not truly happy and fulfilled. She had to make some very tough life choices. Her greatest choice was deciding to re-focus her life and begin to live her life to the absolute fullest! She started Motivate & Elevate to help others to do the same…to get real and defeat self-sabotaging tendencies that affect their health, finances and relationships so they can live the lives of their dreams!
Her life experiences combined with her formal education and training continue to fuel her passion for inspiring, motivating and teaching individuals to achieve high performance.
