Hi there! I’m Amy.

I’m a writer, educator, trauma-informed coach, traveler, and cat lover from California.

In 2017, I moved to Spain and disguised it as following my dreams.

But I soon realized that I’d been living on autopilot. It was in Madrid that I experienced my first true “awakening,” realizing I had been making decisions based on fear and obligation rather than self-love and intention.

Since then, I’ve been on a grounded spiritual journey, learning to live consciously and embracing the lessons this life offers.

I believe true healing happens when we embrace who we really are and start making decisions from a place of inner wisdom. This is the philosophy behind Awake with Amy—a continual process of waking up, questioning, and exploring.

With a master’s in teaching writing from Johns Hopkins University and a focus on processing trauma through somatic writing, I’m dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to grow, heal, and live authentically.

I am a co-founder of Conscious Community Madrid and have been leading moon ceremonies and womxn’s circles since 2023. I’m all about exploring the connections between energy work, channeling, astrology, somatic movement… and humor! It’s where curiosity meets practice, and I love discovering how these tools can help us navigate life with more intention and clarity.

Let's heal the world by healing ourselves.
