She has been practicing as a licensed Physical Therapist for 15 years, and is also certified in Yoga, Pilates, and Sound Healing. While working in traditional Physical Therapy settings, Amy’s path lead her in learning about the wholeness of being human. She began meditating in her early 20’s and gaining personal knowledge of the body, mind, and spirit connection. She completed the Master’s program in Deepening into Spirit by the Lorian Association (founder’s of Findhorn) along with other energetic and spiritual studies. Amy became aware that treating patients with a holistic approach lead to a deeper awareness that often assisted in healing the core of an ailment along with the physical manifestation. Opening a private practice in order to incorporate this wide spectrum of healing modalities has been a dream come true for Amy. Her variety of experience including treating those with chronic pain conditions, women’s health issues, pediatrics and geriatrics has laid the foundation to expand into practices that involve healing the body, mind and spirit.

By blending the best of traditional Physical Therapy with a dynamic hands-on intuitive practice Amy is able to creatively assist individuals on their own unique healing path.
Amy is certified in Living Spirit Yoga, a deeply transformational style of Hatha Yoga. Living Spirit Yoga integrates many different ancient approaches to the practice of yoga and offers a refreshingly balanced, modern and accessible system that facilitates deep healing at the core. Through the practice of Living Yoga, Amy teaches flowing, graceful and organic postures and sequences for therapeutic Yoga.
Amy is certified in Pilates by Physical Therapists in the field of using Pilates for rehabilitation. She teaches Pilates using a kinesthetic approach to facilitate core awareness, bringing inner freedom and connection rather than mere physical strength. Amy integrates her knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics along with the energetic aspects of the spiritual core to facilitate deep understanding of ones own being.
Amy is a certified Sound Healer though feels that we are all our own best sound healers. From an incidence in childhood in which Amy was shamed for using her voice, she kept quiet for many years. However, upon reawakening her voice in a therapeutic sound practice, Amy realized the power of her voice to assist in healing and has been called to share this gift with others. Amy has the capacity to generate a range of vocal tones that affect the body profoundly and are highly transformative with specific intention. As a facilitator, Amy is an excellent support to encourage one’s own vocal expression for self-healing.
Hands-on alchemy with another human in is an innate gift that Amy has cultivated. Through the practices of CranioSacral Therapy and Energy Healing, Amy is an instrument for Universal energy to flow. Through touch and intention energy that is no longer serving an individual may be released and energy that is useful to an individual is integrated into one’s being.
Amy continues to develop Naked-Heart Yoga, a heart centered somatic movement practice taught in workshops nationally. Naked-Heart Yoga is similar to Kripalu- stage 3 - yoga in that its emphasis is on meditation-in-motion. In this practice, Amy artfully guides students in awakening their own Prana to allow energy to flow freely and the body to move spontaneously. It is often a new awakening for those with years of Yoga experience to practice choiceless awareness and attunement to the body’s wisdom.
