Hello I am Amy.
I specialise in working with the mind body connection helping people heal chronic symptoms such as pain/depression/anxiety/IBS/brain fog/old injury to mention just a few.
My life is informed by my dedication to self enquiry, meditation, movement, the body, and a waking up to this wild and magnificent life. I have been working with my teacher in spiritual awakening for the past 7 years. This work underpins all that I do and how I live my life.
In my early 20’s I developed crippling back pain which brought me to the work I do today. (To read more about how I healed from back pain visit my page on chronic pain here.)
Around the time I was suffering from back pain I was studying at The Bristol School of Shiatsu. Shiatsu gave me the tools to be in presence with another. It taught me how to stay in the deep unknown. It taught me how to witness and how to listen to a deeper language than words. It was my gateway into working with the body, the mind and with presence.
Alongside this I have been working with women, the menstrual cycle and birth. In 2019, I trained as a Doula with the Sacred Birthing School, and then in Abdominal Therapy. Not long after my trainings I became pregnant and embarked on the epic journey of carrying a child in my womb, giving birth and becoming a mother.
Alongside the work I do on pain I also offer abdominal massage. Through massage and enquiry I offer support for people wanting to conceive, people who have lost a baby, post abortion support, menstrual issues or simply a desire to connect more deeply with your abdomen and womb.
After my own experience of healing after a traumatic birth and a 3rd degree tear I am passionate about supporting mothers in the days and weeks post birth. This is a time that is massively undervalued in our culture. Luckily it is becoming more understood but we still have a long way to go. In remembering how to support and nurture new families we are supporting the next generation to grow up feeling held and safe. What is more important than giving our children a solid ground to thrive from, and mothers a solid ground to mother from?!
Ultimately, beyond any training or name on what I do, I am in service to love in the most deep and yet simplest of ways; love that is accessed by surrendering and opening to presence in each unfolding moment.
Please be in touch if you want to discuss anything or have any questions. I am always happy to talk.
