About Amy

Hi, my name is Amy.

I’m a holistic movement coach. I blend the platforms of pilates, yoga, and Body Mind Centering® into private and group sessions focused on deep healing and nourishing movement.

My clients learn to take control of their physical wellbeing by cultivating body awareness and holistic strength that bridges the gap between physical therapy and regular fitness.

I specialize in body attunement & sustainable strength training that witnesses, celebrates and draws inspiration from the wisdom of the female body.

No matter what stage of life you’re in, you have the capacity to fully embody your feminine form, from the inside out.

How I Got Here

Dancing was always an easy one for me. I loved getting inside the movement, feeling it travel through me, connecting me to earth & ether simultaneously.

But I struggled for decades to be validated by others for my hard work and efforts, while I simultaneously stepped back into the shadows so as not to be seen too closely.

I was afraid to be my own fragrant, juicy, exuberant self. I tried to be what others wanted me to be.

So I got injured.

Over and over and over. And I was always in pain.

As I got older, I became interested in how dance could be a force for healing instead of pain and isolation. This new dance demanded I follow my intuition into the Unknown.

It wasn’t about following anyone else’s choreography. It required me to listen to my own wisdom, to dance my own way.

My movement practice became my toolkit for listening and gauging whether I was still in alignment within my body, which let me know if I was still in alignment emotionally and spiritually too.

This practice was subtle at times, dynamic at other times. But always highly personal, unique to my experience. It couldn’t be superimposed on someone else.

While learning to listen internally, I did a lot of listening externally to various experts, teachers, mentors who helped me shape my understanding of the dynamic, whole-moving body. They include Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Liz Koch, Amy Matthews, Leslie Powell, among others.

Amid my years of study and practice, I developed a process that not only helped me learn to manage my pain, but also revealed the wisdom within my own body.

This practice enhances your ability to trust your own body wisdom. 

I believe the body's language is movement. I work with that language to decipher the body's underlying needs, ultimately reducing pain & injury.

Together, we identify movement patterns that hinder, stress or limit your body's natural desire to connect and be connected.

By freeing your movement options, you strengthen your awareness and ultimately align and integrate your entire being. 

I create movement experiences to help you find more freedom and less pain.

This process helps you build strength and resilience that applies specifically to your body but also nourishes your unique way of being in the world.
