Here is what our members have to say
Self care
I felt overwhelmed as many areas of my life were unstable or fluctuating. I was emotionally and mentally exhausted despite feeling like I was doing self care. I was burnt out, trying my best, but crumbling. In Amy’s workshop, I learned the impact of mindset and intention as well as presence in the moment. One specific piece of wisdom I took was regarding values; that we should live in line with our identified values even in everyday choices. I now make an effort to be present in the moment which has greatly helped me change how I view self care.
Chrissy
Great teacher
Dr. Backos is a great teacher. She uses creative exercises that opened me up to new parts of myself. Even though I am not an “artist,” the art exercises are great for reflection and I feel my creativity has grown. Amy’s real-world, relatable examples helped me master the content. I enjoy working in the workbooks she provides – a great way to extend the learning at my own pace. I’m so pleased and I will be taking her future courses
Michelle
Enriched my life
Since joining the MCW, I have felt more confident, emotionally intelligent, and tapped into my creativity. I feel more committed to waking up to a life I love. I am becoming a more disciplined and committed person. These classes have enriched my life and I am grateful for the increased creativity I have found in motherhood as well.
Jillian
I highly recommend
I was curious about Dr. Amy Backos’ work and decided to sign up for her Rest & Rejuvenate Workshop during the busiest month of my career (to date). I felt rushed, and really didn’t have time – but each week, her calm and artful delivery of researched and remarkable wisdom changed me. I learned the value of self-compassion; and saw how rest boosted my joy and productivity. The tools she gave us for stacking habits and increasing simple pleasures were profound. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Sarah
Everything is easier
I felt stuck. Being stressed made it hard for me to be decisive. I was miserable and not at my best. Everything changed because Amy helped me. She taught me how time-tested and proven best practices work for me. With her guidance and leadership, I stopped looking outside myself for inspiration. I tap into my creativity to get what I desire anytime I want. I am so happy, more positive, and grateful!

FAQ
- What makes The Modern Creative Woman membership so unique?
The Modern Creative Woman is a completely unique program that combines the art and science of creativity to help women live their most authentic and happy life. Gaining control over your creativity is a skill you will use in every area of your life and for the rest of your life. Creativity gives you fun and spontaneity an relationships and insights and knowledge at work. The more you practice it, the more creative you will become! - How do I get the best out of the membership?
You get out of it what you put into it. We suggest attending all three classes each month and completing your workbook. 20 minutes a day is all you need to see change. You have full access to the archives and resources, yet, don’t feel obligated to watch all the classes and do all the workbooks in The Modern Creative Woman library. Remember, this is a membership and each month is designed to fill a month of you time. - Do I have lifetime access to the material?
This is a membership like a country club or a gym. While you are a member, you have full access to the video and print library of The Modern Creative Woman material. You can download the workbooks and slides for your personal use when you are a member and you can keep these forever. If you choose to leave the membership, you no longer have access to the membership’s amenities like the private website and archives. - Is this like therapy?
While you are learning the best of the art and science of creative living, the membership is for personal growth and education. Remember, the Modern Creative Woman is not therapy and does not constitute a therapy relationship.
