  • I have spent 29 years in clinical hygiene and I have recently had feelings of burnout due to flawed working environments. As luck would have it, I have been following Amber on social media so I took 3 classes with her this weekend at the FNDC meeting. I'm so glad I did that! She's a wonderful and very motivating speaker with all kinds of current info on what's “trending” in all things hygiene!! She kept the audience involved and captivated the entire time. I can't wait to put this info to work at my work place and also can't wait to see her speak again!! Thank you, Amber!!

  • I attended Amber’s Thrive Chairside event and came out with an entire community of supportive, like-minded friends. This event made me excited about my career again. The value of the amount of information and guidance that you will receive is beyond what you will pay for. I have also had one on one follow ups with Amber. It is obvious that she truly cares and is passionate about helping people and practices grow. She has knowledge and insight on so many different levels. I HIGHLY recommend jumping in with both feet. You won’t regret it.

    Stephanie Hodge
  • Amber’s summit was full of so much information and kept me engaged the entire time. She lights a fire in me and encourages me to be the best I can be so I can feel good leaving my job at the end of the day. She has enhanced my hygiene career greatly with her enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge.

    Kayla Lorentzen RDH
  • I had the pleasure of attending Amber’s first-ever Periodontal Summit in Boston in October 2025, and it was absolutely amazing and so informative! I appreciated how she incorporated real-life chairside scenarios that we face daily as dental hygienists—it made the content feel relatable and practical. I also loved that she introduced alternative products for us to try, giving us more tools to enhance patient care. Amber’s discussion on real-life situations between hygienists and the business team was incredibly valuable and eye-opening. And of course, seeing Margot was the cherry on top! I can’t wait for the next one!

    Ciara E. Rosado RDH
  • Refreshing to be with like-minded peers. It was an amazing seminar with tons of informative and current practices within our RDH profession. Amber keeps you engaged during her presentation and encourages a lot of attendee participation. I cannot wait to get back to my op and incorporate what I learned!

    Debra Fialkoff
  • Amber is one of those rare people whose brilliance shines through in everything she does. She’s incredibly well-spoken and has this amazing, nerdy depth of research knowledge that makes every conversation with her a learning experience. What truly sets her apart is her ability to take all that deep knowledge and turn it into something real and practical, something people can actually use and grow from.

    In a world where so many focus only on theory, Amber brings meaning, clarity, and application. She doesn’t just teach; she empowers. Beyond her professional excellence, she’s thoughtful, generous with her insights, and always brings out the best in those around her. She’s truly one of a kind.

  • I have never left a seminar feeling like I could have done an extra day or 2. I came away with so many pearls, confirmation of things we are doing right, areas where we can improve and new things to implement. We were provided with verbiage and practical ways to implement. Amber is relatable, keeps you engaged and has a contagious energy. This summit far surpassed my expectations and can’t wait for next year.
