Training with Amy
Participants in Amy’s trainings report an ease of learning even challenging topics due to Amy’s conversational tone, insight, humor and use of interactive practices within the trainings.
Amy has extensive training in clinical application of Polyvagal Theory, and currently is a trainer and consultant for professional trainings for The Polyvagal Institute. For the past decade, Amy has studied the Polyvagal Theory and uses it extensively in her work and personal life.
“Amy has the remarkable ability to take complex concepts and make them easily accessible and very relatable. Amy's contribution to understanding Polyvagal Theory has widened my knowledge as a person and clinician. I have not only been able to apply what I have learned about Polyvagal Theory from Amy to deepen my understanding of my own humanity and lived experiences, but use it in my clinical practice to help others deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships. And for that, I have tremendous gratitude.”

A Bubble Bath and Glass of Wine Ain’t All That: Real Self-Care
If one more person shares a social media post about a bubble bath and glass of wine, well, let's just leave that here. During this training, you will learn to identify what self-care will really work for you. Maybe it is a bubble bath, but there are many options not discussed; connection within, to others or with all that is good. More than ever, now is the time we need self-care that works.

The Power and Practice of the Pause
I long for the days of what seems so long ago, where people would pause to reflect, to be, to tell stories.

Be ready for the pause - and the practices shared to cause many awesome side effects - relaxation, peace, clarity, and connection.
