PARAGRAPH

Amy comes from an evangelical background, including a Christian seminary education, but has deconstructed her belief system into one that embraces a lot of mystery.  She enjoys discussing spiritual principles across faiths and appeals to people not necessarily associated with a church or specific religious path.  She is a member and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and has done a lot of inner work around the intersection of spirituality and sexuality.  She enjoys accompanying people of all walks on their journey toward spiritual awakening and employs a diverse range of spiritual practices to challenge her directees.  Her desire is to inspire others to discover and express their true self in the world for its betterment.
