Bio

Amberly’s life story of astounding resilience has inspired a revolutionary lesson she offers to the world. She brings unique strategies developed to teach others how to tap into their superpower of resilience and persevere through any challenge. She is a powerhouse of energy on stage with a story that will engage and captivate any audience. Her keynote speeches, best-selling book, workshops, and podcasts offer hope and solutions for living life at its fullest to those in chronic pain (like her) and those who find themselves struggling against any obstacle.

As a personal trainer, wife, and mother, Amberly Lago was living the California dream until it turned into a nightmare in May 2010. As she rode her Harley down Ventura Boulevard that breezy, sunny day, Lago was hit by an SUV, throwing her thirty feet down a busy street and shattering her right leg.

Months in the hospital and 34 surgeries, along with plates, pins, and sheer will eventually spared Lago’s leg and severed femoral artery, despite the initial recommendation to amputate. However, as a sexual abuse and divorce survivor, Lago determined to save not only her leg, but her career, her dreams, and her dignity. This Texas girl at heart dug deep to find the hope and faith needed to face her life’s greatest challenge.

Amberly’s unwavering commitment to regain her active lifestyle of training clients transformed her tragedy into victory and she motivates her audiences to find resilience in their own difficulties. She is a fierce advocate for others who suffer from CRPS and proves that any challenge can be overcome by the support of others as well as a determination and belief in oneself.

"Touching and Authentic" A couple of nights ago I attended a Provisors at Night Event in Irvine as a newish member came up to me to reintroduce himself. Apparently he attended the March SOC when Amberly spoke and said it was the best Provisors meeting he has ever attended yet. It so moved him that he was teary-eyed and was definitely inspired.

"The workshop was inspiring!" Amberly spoke from the heart and created an environment of immediate trust and respect. Her compelling story of overcoming the unimaginable and not just surviving, but thriving was amazing! Her candor and impassioned desire to share set the tone for honest and forthright discussion about our own strengths, desires, and resources. This is a powerful conversation and topic for team bonding!

I have received calls from other members of the group who wanted to discuss with me how they might change the way they live their lives in light of your message of focused endurance, belief in self, and the willingness to endure great pain and fight through incredible obstacles to achieve a life worth living. I cannot thank you enough. I am a big fan.

"You saved my life" Being alone and not finding work, I had had enough. The thoughts came to my head to end my life but I heard your voice in my head saying, no you are not doing it. I don't know why but thats really all I could hear was your voice saying hang on. It was enough to pull me away from these sad thoughts. Thanks for all you share. God brought you into my life to save it.
