Amanda Gratzer’s journey, beginning in 2015 as a pediatric nurse, is a testament to the resilience required in caregiving. Specializing in the needs of children and young adults with complex language and learning challenges, she’s gained invaluable insights into the emotional and mental toll faced by caregivers. Over the years, Amanda has seen many—colleagues, parents, and the broader healthcare community—grapple with the heavy burden of burnout, becoming disillusioned and detached from their original passion.

Having navigated this challenging path herself, Amanda encountered the depths of burnout firsthand. This pivotal experience catalyzed a significant transformation in her life. She adopted a proactive approach, stepping away to evaluate her values and priorities, allowing her to implement vital changes. As a result, Amanda not only regained her enthusiasm for her work but also established a sustainable work-life balance.

Motivated by her journey and the collective struggles of fellow caregivers, Amanda founded Inner Compass Health Navigation. Here, she strives to create a supportive environment where caregivers can find guidance, resources, and community as they navigate their own journeys towards renewal and fulfillment. Through innovative strategies and shared experiences, Inner Compass becomes a beacon of hope for those who seek to reclaim their passion and rediscover a healthier, more balanced life.
