About

​

I’m Amy — sound healer, ceremonial cacao practitioner, dance and barre teacher, and author of Becoming the Storm.

​

But my journey didn’t begin with healing.
It began with survival.

​

I grew up carrying trauma, abandonment wounds, and emotional chaos. As a teenager, I tried to outrun my pain in every way I knew how — alcohol, drugs, toxic relationships, overworking, and searching for love and safety in all the wrong places. I didn’t know how to feel my emotions, so I kept running from them.

​

At eighteen, everything changed.

Homeless and alone in a tiny B&B room, I reached my breaking point — and my breakthrough. For the first time, I saw clearly who I was becoming… and who I wanted to be.

​

I wanted more.
I deserved more.

​

Becoming the Storm is my memoir and roadmap — the story of how I transformed my life from rock bottom to a life rooted in purpose, peace, and power. With no guide and no guarantees, I made a decision: I was going to fight for my life.

​

Life didn’t suddenly become easy. There was more loss, more trauma, more heartbreak. But each storm became a reason to rise. I rebuilt myself piece by piece through sound, cacao, movement, breathwork, and writing. These practices healed me long before I ever held space for anyone else.

​

Before creating She Was The Storm, I spent over two decades in luxury hospitality, private members’ clubs, and residential communities. I led teams and built environments where people felt safe, welcomed, and seen. I was a chronic people-pleaser — holding everything together, fixing everyone else, seeking validation wherever I could find it — until burnout forced me to confront the truth.

​

I could never thrive in spaces where profit mattered more than people, where ego outweighed connection, and where sensitivity was mistaken for weakness.

​

She Was The Storm was born from my own transformation — a sanctuary for grounding, softening, healing, and rising. A space for those who are ready to stop surviving and start coming home to themselves.

Somewhere along the way, I manifested the life I once prayed for.

A life built on purpose instead of pain.
A life devoted to helping others find the peace I had to fight for.

My motto is simple:

​

When fate whispers, “You cannot withstand the storm,”
whisper back —
“I am the storm.”
