Changemaker of the Month: Amna Choudry
At Flourish, we are proud to celebrate individuals who not only invest in their own growth but go on to create meaningful impact in the lives of others. This month, we’re delighted to spotlight Amna Choudry—a compassionate, and purpose-driven changemaker whose journey reflects the power of intention, courage, and service.
Amna’s Journey with Flourish
Amna was first introduced to Flourish through a fellow network member. She took part in our retreat days and the Time to Grow programme, where she embraced opportunities for personal and professional development, gaining valuable tools, confidence, and clarity.
She was later invited to contribute to a range of wider women’s and health-focused events, where she delivered mindful meditation and guided visualisation sessions—creating calm, focus, and meaningful connection within open community spaces, and helping participants pause, reflect, and ground themselves amidst the busyness of life.
“It was a truly rewarding experience to hold space for others and witness how even a few moments of stillness can shift someone’s state of mind, release blocked emotions, and creating internal space.” Her ability to connect with people in a gentle yet impactful way quickly became evident.
Through these experiences, Amna deepened her self-awareness and developed practical tools that supported both her personal wellbeing and professional direction.
Amna then joined the Flourish team as a part-time member, supporting administration, programme delivery, community hubs, and wider events.
“Being part of the team allowed me to contribute to something purposeful while continuing to grow myself—it felt aligned with both my values and my passion for service.”
Since then, Amna has been commissioned to develop and deliver a short webinar series focused on wellbeing, reflection, and personal growth. This series aims to make accessible, practical tools available to a wider audience.

Alongside her work with Flourish, Amna is a changemaker and entrepreneur in her own right. She founded Psynergy Solutions, a platform dedicated to supporting mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, combining psychology-informed approaches with reflective and mindful practices. This initiative was born from her desire to bridge gaps in accessible, holistic support for women.
Amna also became a qualified Chaplain last year, offering pastoral care, emotional support, and a listening presence within all communities- offering a faith based approach as well as a holistically accessible approach for all. In this role, she supports individuals through challenges, creates safe spaces for reflection, and contributes to overall wellbeing and resilience. Through her chaplaincy, she brings compassion, presence, and guidance to those who may otherwise feel unseen or unheard.
In fact, Amna also supported Flourish in raising awareness of Chaplaincy as a vital role in public service as part of our GMCA-backed Civic Leadership programme—highlighting the importance and impact of this role. (See the webinar Here.)
Looking ahead, Amna is committed to continuing her journey of service, empowerment, and impact—supporting women to reconnect with themselves, build inner strength, navigate their journey with greater clarity and confidence, and thrive in all areas of life.
Her work reflects a belief that true change begins within—and that when individuals are supported to grow, entire communities benefit.
Tips from Amna for Aspiring Changemakers
Amna’s journey offers valuable insight for anyone considering their own path of impact:
- Start where you are—Growth doesn’t require perfection- You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin
- Stay connected to your purpose, especially in moments of doubt- your purpose will carry you through uncertainty
- Seek out supportive spaces and communities that nurture your development – Growth happens in environments that nurture you
- Be open to opportunities, even if they feel outside your comfort zone- Even the unexpected ones can shape your path
- Remember: impact begins with intention, but grows through action– Meaningful impact is built over time
Amna’s story is a reminder that changemaking doesn’t always start with a grand plan—it often begins with a single step, a willingness to grow, and a desire to give back.
We’re proud to have her as part of the Flourish community and look forward to seeing the continued impact of her work.
