How Amy got here
I came into this work the hard way.
For years I was an undiagnosed empath with no framework for understanding why I felt so terrible so much of the time — what was mine, what belonged to everyone around me, what was my body signaling about something I hadn't yet understood.
On top of that, I was dealing with a long list of conditions: depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue, hormonal issues, osteoporosis, digestive problems, acne.
I wasn't someone who came to energy work out of curiosity. I came because I was desperate, and nothing else had worked.
What followed was years of self-directed learning — Reiki, muscle testing, pendulum dowsing, shamanic journeying, herbalism, nutritional research. Not as a spiritual career path, but as pure necessity. I had to figure out what was wrong with me, and these were the tools that actually moved things.
When I contracted COVID in early 2020 and spent months navigating long-haul symptoms, I used the same practices to work my way through it. That experience gave me specific, current knowledge about post-viral recovery that I now bring directly to clients.
I live in a cottage in the woods in Fairbanks, Alaska — which probably tells you something about my sensibility. I'm not drawn to high-ceremony or spiritual identity. I think of myself as the earthy person you go to when something's wrong and you want someone to look at the whole picture: what the body is doing, what the emotions are carrying, what beliefs have been running the show.
My Celtic ancestry and familiarity with Alaska Native traditions both inform how I think about healing, though I hold them lightly rather than performing them.
What I seem to do best is connect things. People often say after a session that they've never had someone pull together the physical, emotional, and spiritual threads in a way that actually made sense before.
I teach as I work — I'm not interested in being the authority; I'm interested in evening the playing field so you can keep going after we're done. If you come in with a specific health concern and you're ready to follow it wherever it leads, that's when this work tends to really open up.
