The Road to Healing
The work of healing is not mysterious. It is not reserved for people who already feel okay. And it does not require you to believe anything before you begin. It only requires a willingness to look — at what happened, at where it lives in your body, and at what might be possible if you stopped carrying it alone.
Amy has spent twenty years studying and practicing the approaches below — not as a practitioner searching for the right technique, but as a person who needed them to work. She has used every one of these methods in her own healing. That is the only endorsement that matters.
The body stores what the mind cannot process. These approaches work at the level where the damage actually lives.
Amy works with a small number of individual clients who are ready to do the interior work. Sessions are conducted via video call and are tailored entirely to what you are carrying — whether that is a specific trauma, a pattern that keeps reasserting itself, professional burnout, or simply the accumulated weight of years of not being asked how you are doing.
There is no intake form that asks you to categorize your experience before you understand it. You show up. Amy meets you where you are. The work begins there.
Timeline Regression Therapy is a structured therapeutic process that locates the origin point of a current emotional or behavioral pattern — often in early experience — and works with that memory at the level where it was stored. This is not talk therapy and it is not re-traumatization. It is a precise, body-informed approach to releasing the charge that a past experience is still carrying into your present life. Amy has used this approach in her own healing and with clients for two decades. It is the method that changed the most for her — the one she describes, in her book, as the work that finally gave her back her hands.
Accessing the subconscious to change the patterns underneath behavior
Hypnotherapy is not what you have seen on television. It is a clinically validated approach to accessing the subconscious mind — where the patterns that drive our behavior, our emotional responses, and our relationship to stress actually live. In a hypnotherapy session you are fully conscious, fully in control, and fully able to stop at any point. What changes is your access to the deeper material that conscious effort alone cannot reach. Amy is a Certified Hypnotherapist with twenty years of practice. She uses hypnotherapy to address trauma responses, chronic stress patterns, and the specific damage that accumulates in people who have spent years absorbing more than they should.
Working with the body as the primary site of stored experience
Research is clear that trauma does not live primarily in the narrative — in the story you tell about what happened. It lives in the body. In the way your shoulders rise before a difficult conversation. In the way your chest closes when you walk onto a particular floor. In the chronic tension that no amount of rest has resolved. Somatic and trauma-informed coaching works at the body level — using breath, awareness, and gentle physical attention to begin releasing what the body has been holding. Amy integrates somatic approaches into all of her one-on-one work
