Amy Rachelle was born and raised in the rural southern states. She grew up in the backwoods of Arkansas with her gypsy, pioneer mother picking wild mushrooms, watercress from the creek, and "polk salad" from open fields. Waking up at dawn to her mother practicing yoga, Amy was introduced to healing and holistic living from an early age - her mother was her first teacher. She became known as "magic fingers" by her much older siblings and always enjoyed giving healing to her friends and family.

Amy attended the University of Georgia in Athens and Georgia State in Atlanta. In 1987, she moved to New York City, on her own with $100 and a pocket full of dreams.

She rediscovered her connection to nature and healing from living on a boat, living without electricity and indoor plumbing for two years, traveling extensively, and life experiences of living among native people. She became aware of her gift for vision and massage when she took over a pregnant woman’s practice in Lake Attila, Guatemala. She has been developing her intuitive abilities and healing skills since then, over the past 15 years of session/bodywork with clients that range from everyday people, to artists, to celebrities, to business executives, to other healing practitioners.

Amy has been developing her personal practices of diet, meditation, cleansing, and yoga since 1990 - her spiritual evolution grew exponentially when she became a vegetarian at that time. She's been on the raw path since '96 and lives a lifestyle of daily practices that she considers to be a foundation for freedom. It's her intention to share these practices through her work - and life - with all those seeking self discovery and purpose on the planet. Amy's personal journey of self-healing, and witnessing many other people heal, discovering Vipassana (a 10 day silent meditation - dhamma.org), years of internal cleansing, raw foods, and practicing Ashtanga yoga have created a basis from which Amy passionately learns and teaches from.

Amy has produced holistic events, programs, and classes in New York City, Amsterdam, and across the states for many years. She was the events coordinator for New York City raw restaurant Quintessence and has had her own practice as a holistic health practitioner since she began in 1990.

Intertwined as part of Amys healing work and practices, she is a lyricist/singer - she writes songs that are a combination of trip/hop, funk, and soul that have a world beat flavor. Writing and performing her music brings Amy ultimate joy and fulfillment in its offering to others. She has performed across the U.S., Canada, and Europe for years and is currently working on new material.

Amy is based on Manhattans lower east side. She is currently seeing clients, teaching classes, studying piano, practicing the practices, and preparing to record her upcoming new CD. She is also working on structuring her non-profit, The Conscious Co-op. The co-op is a voice and vehicle for personal and planetary peace, health, and healing through sustainability and the arts. Amy's mission - in all she does - is to contribute awareness, resource, and information for the realization of humanities highest potential and positive evolution.

Amys wish is for all beings to uncover the superhero seeking expression from within... in service to humanity and all of life!
