Hi, I'm Amber Winick.

I support parents and caregivers by thinking holistically about the care we give. The people I work with often find themselves on auto-pilot, interacting with children in ways that might go against their values. I help parents who feel ready to parent in a more mindful, connected, and respectful way, but may not know where to start, or feel stuck by their own histories. Together, we navigate to a place of calm and authenticity, greeting challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

My approach is grounded in mindfulness, attachment science, and respectful parenting. I apply the principles of infant mental health, early childhood development and education, dance movement psychotherapy (informed both by my experience as a Ways of Seeing Practitioner and by RIE®) in sessions.

I'm the co-creator and co-author of Designing Motherhood, which, among other accolades, has won a W-Award for research in gender and architecture. I'm also the recipient of two Fulbright Fellowships, one of which was centered around Dr. Emmi Pikler and her contributions to the field of developmental psychology, motor development, and design.

In 2025, I created SnailHaus, a monthly newsletter that invites readers to reflect on the ways we bring intention, connection, and care to our homes, cities, and other designed environments. Today, SnailHaus is a rising bestseller in Substack’s Design category.

I live mostly in London and a little in New York's Hudson Valley together with my three wonderfully quirky and tender-hearted children.
