Healing and Inner Balance

I have some big triggers and tender places that come up in certain situations, based on some terrifying experiences I had in the past. Amy was so calm and accepting that I knew right away I could trust her.

I can't believe how much my nervous system has calmed down since we started working together! The real key for me is how she stays right with me even when I'm completely stressed. Her presence and voice calm me down.

I tried working with some therapists who tried to "fix things" but didn't seem to really get it. I'd started to wonder if my experiences were too hard for anyone to handle, which made me feel lonely and terribly sad and scared. But Amy just stays present with me and helps me process the emotions and energy. Then the bad parts start to lose their power.

I feel really cared for and safe with Amy. What happened to me wasn't safe and when we walk back through it together, it helps me feel like I wasn't really alone. Now I don't startle as easily and I can breathe again. This has changed so many things for me. I thought I knew how much it was affecting my life, but the difference is even bigger than I ever would have thought!

My house burned down when I was out of town. It was such a shock, and the worst part was feeling I'd lost important parts of my past because memorabilia and pictures of my children and grandchildren were just gone! I got so nervous and worried that I couldn't leave my new home without starting to tremble and struggle to breathe - I was so afraid of losing everything again!

I was worried I'd get hooked if I started taking mood medications, so my doctor suggested I talk to Amy first. She was so compassionate and kind, and really got how deep and pervasive this loss was for me. She said the shock was stuck in my nervous system and we could help it to process through so I could begin to really move on. And she was right! I couldn't believe that I finally came to peace with the loss of items that connected me with beloved people and memories but I did! The separation anxiety has lessened so much. And the things I've learned actually help me to deal with the stress of my job and family problems that have always been here a lot more peacefully - a side effect I didn't anticipate. I really wish I'd found Amy before all this happened, but I'm so grateful I found her finally!

I was not in a good place when I met Amy. My personal journey of awakening was not as pleasant as the stories I read on the internet. Most of the time, I had no clue what was happening to me or to my highly sensitive child. Once we began working together, I resolved a lot of feelings I had about some bad things that happened when I was a little girl. I'm learning how to listen and respond to what my body tells me, and the migraines are less often and less severe. Most importantly for me, I found answers and PEACE!

Amy is amazing in explaining things. She helps me find answers to all my questions, helps me find clarity and understand my subtle sense gifts. I'm looking forward to each call with Amy! She amazes me every time and I'm forever grateful for the peace and comfort she provides me!

I work in finance where I have to ask people to repay their loans. Sometimes they don't treat me well, and I used to get so upset and drained. It affected everything, especially when I came home to my family.

Lately I've been learning how to connect during the day so I am shaking off that stuff that's not really about me. Then I have more "space inside" to take in good things like a sense of balance, harmony and appreciation. I didn't know I had the power to do all that, regardless of what other people said or did!

Now I don't get so worn out and I'm more even-keeled. When I get home, I have more clarity before I react even when my two year old has a tantrum. That eliminates a lot of the daily stress and exhaustion I felt before. My blood pressure dropped too and I've spontaneously started to lose some weight.

My doctor is happy, and my husband told me to keep working with Amy because he's so happy to have his wife back!

I used to get so exhausted and drained at work, especially after the cancer diagnosis. Amy introduced me to some easy practices I could do anytime even while working, that helped me maintain a sense of well-being and energy.

That made a huge difference in my recovery process.

Everybody was talking about "the big election" and all that angry arguing was really getting to me. There was an earthquake, a war and other natural disasters at the same time. I felt battered by it all.

The more out of balance I got the less energy I had to focus on anything outside the basics, even though I really wanted to do something meaningful. My life felt smaller and smaller, yet I felt more and more overwhelmed and exhausted. I started to feel depressed, and then sick.

My doctor recommended I talk with Amy. She "got me" right away. She explained that I was experiencing "second-hand trauma" through witnessing so much pain and violent energy. As an empath, that has an especially big impact on me. We did some healing (which was really relaxing) and then investigated how I can protect my sensitive nervous system so I'm not overwhelmed and having to shut down. Now I'm able to recognize when my system is strong and protected and when I need recovery and nourishment. I'm also learning how to use my gifts to have a real impact on things I felt completely powerless about before, and I feel so much better about that! I used to feel bad about being so sensitive but now I realize that's a gift which has a purpose and I can serve that purpose without harming myself. What a huge shift this is making in my life!

I am a licensed professional counselor and empath. I was craving some guidance from someone that could help me find balance, serenity, and a way to better fulfill my purpose in life as a mother and helper to others. I knew I didn’t need “counseling” for this. I needed something deeper and spiritual.

I also knew that because of my empathic nature and ability to minimize, I needed someone that I felt safe and connected with that could “get” me and help me understand myself more.

A friend and colleague recommended Amy. She was just the person I needed. When I'm irritable and tired, my sessions shift me to a whole different place where I have access to more love and happiness in my heart. I just wish I could bottle that up and drink it every day!

The phone sessions are also a lovely bonus because they allow me to be more open and vulnerable with the convenience of being at the office, at home or out in nature where I feel more connected. That removes anxiety and eliminates any feelings of being self-conscious.

Amy truly has been a blessing and a light in my life that's helped me create a path to peace and to better serve my family, clients, and most importantly myself. To connect with her is to connect with someone who emits unconditional love and acceptance while providing clarity and direction.

I've experienced so much healing in the moment with Amy that it is hard for me to grasp and put into words. It is truly something that has to be felt! I feel gentle guidance toward an awareness that validates my feelings and is in perfect alignment with the nature of my soul. In one session, the complete understanding of why I held two conflicting limiting truths helped me integrate that into one simple truth. That moment healed a defense mechanism that no longer served a purpose for me. I'm so much more empowered and at peace in relationships that have been difficult for me in the past.

Thank you Amy!

With gratitude!

I had some feelings that put a wedge between me and my family, and depression started to get in the way of my goals. I'm very driven to be successful in my profession, and it was tearing me apart when I got so depressed that I couldn't focus or study anymore. When I connected with Amy, we uncovered some deep feelings I had about being not only a woman, but an African-American woman. I saw how these feelings had been passed down through my family based on terrible experiences my ancestors had in this country (and reinforced by my own experiences), and also some betrayals they experienced before they even left their original homelands!

It was painful to walk through, but afterward I felt so clear and spacious. I could dig into the strength and bravery of my grandmothers all the way back, and for the first time I knew in my bones they were backing me! Now when I start to feel scared or helpless, I call on my grandmothers and I can feel their strength seeping into my cells. Amy calls it "dis-enfranchisement" and says when we feel disconnected from the power of our ancestral lineage it weakens us. I didn't know what to think of that at first, but now I get it - I really get it now!

I've worked with clients for 23 years as an energy healer and spiritual guide. Recently I asked Amy's help with a pattern that kept surfacing no matter how much work I had done around the issue. In just one session, Amy helped me to see the root cause and I felt a huge lightness and healing. Since then, I've been able to respond in a balanced way rather than react to this situation that would have triggered a strong reaction in the past. I've even experienced humor and laughter in the face of the situation instead of hurt or anger or fear as I had before. Amy is a powerful conduit for Divine Grace and offers great compassion and wisdom in her sessions.

My body kept twisting a certain way and just wouldn't hold the correct alignment for even a whole day. I had pain and couldn't dance or do a lot of my favorite yoga poses anymore, and I started to feel really old. My chiropractor suggested I meet with Amy to see if there was some kind of underlying problem that needed to be addressed on an emotional or spiritual level.

In our first session, we found a belief that's been carried in my family for a long time. I felt held in a deeply sacred space as we explored, and after the session I felt sad and weepy for a couple of days. The second night after that I woke up when my hips moved into alignment, right in the middle of the night! When I got up in the morning I was standing and walking in a balanced way and my back muscles were relaxed for the first time in years. This time it's held for two weeks already!

I had been feeling so tired and angry, and that's been gradually dropping away too. The very best thing is that my daughter told me she feels more comfortable talking to me now - I didn't realize how much my pain and tension had been alienating her. And I love that my friends tell me I look younger now that my face is more relaxed!
