helping professionals build resilient patients + families
I consult with professionals and organizations to increase connection by understanding trauma, resilience and begin to heal the patients and families they serve.
Are you ready to next-level transform the lives of patients you work with and decrease burnout for you?
I remember working with a little girl in my office when I was a young resident. She was one of hundreds of traumatized youth I was working with that year. Her treatment goal? To be willing to get her hands dirty. She had been physically beaten and neglected so horribly that she was afraid of making even the smallest mistakes. Day by day, moment by moment, we created an atmosphere of trust. One day, she came into my office with a smile on her face and said, "I'm ready...." She sunk her hands into the gooey, bright pink paint and proceeded to smear the color all over paper. Then I smiled. I took a glop of paint and plopped it on my nose. She giggled with delight. She painted her face, her hands, the paper, my face, my hands.
And then she suddenly stopped. She took a deep breath and said, "I think my heart needed that...."

— Parent, Attendee at Trauma and Resilience Workshop
“Amy’s workshop was mind blowing. There were so many practical things that no one has ever said to me and I’ve never read anywhere. Too many times, speakers are too perfect and haven’t dealt with the any of the things they are presenting. Amy is real. My husband and I both left her training feeling empowered.”
