Prior to founding Connect The Mind, Amy worked as a Hollywood film editor and found her way into meditating as a way to recharge when a personal  "life quake" hit in the form of a health issue.   Since then she has committed to meditating daily for the last 15 years.  Her practice expanded into hypnotherapy, biofeedback and NLP when a close family member became ill. By incorporating hypnotherapeutic tools and sound frequencies to create a relaxed state of focused concentration, Amy was able to help her loved one train her own brain to heal her body, now thriving she continues to inspire Amy’s practice.
