The ultimate goal of "Conscious Self-Care"
is to inspire compassionate change,
creating harmonious and thriving
inner and outer environments.

 

  

Whether you're scheduling a 45-60 min. staff meeting, 2 hour seminar, keynote,
or day long retreat, I'm passionate about sharing over 30 years of personal experiences, spiritual insights, practical conscious self-care ideas, and mind expanding perspectives.

 

For the past 15 years I've shared
Vibrational Awareness & The Healing Power of Music
presentations with local, regional and national audiences.

 

In December 2010, my first of two breast cancer diagnoses gave me an unexpected excuse to slow down and start taking care of myself - this is when my personal "conscious self-care" journey began and continues each and every day. 

 

 

"Conscious Self-Care" seminars expand our understanding of resonance while offering experiences of how our energetic presence affects those around us.  From this perspective, it becomes clear why it’s important take care of ourselves, especially as we care for others.  Audiences walk away empowered with simple ways to support themselves throughout the day. As we all make intentional choices, change happens with compassion, creating harmonious and thriving inner and outer environments.

 

Wondering what to expect?

 

During "Conscious Self-Care" seminars, I use a harp to demonstrate all the different frequencies within and around us. Explaining and experiencing sympathetic resonance, forced resonance, and entrainment, it becomes clear how all interpersonal relationships are influenced by our energetic presence. Perceptions expand as we realize it's up to each one of us to create harmonious inner and outer environments.

A sampling of audience comments
 

"Enthusiasm topped the charts!
Brought up points I had never considered!"
~ Participant comment, Oncology Massage Healing Summit

 

"Very enlightening. I understand more about sound, vibrations and how through music/sound our inner selves can be healed."

"Very good information that I will use in my interpersonal relationships in my personal and professional life. Thank You!"

"Very useful information-can apply to real life."

"Excellent presentation. I can apply this daily."

"Makes so much sense - thankful you made us conscious of this" :-)

"Good stuff, nuf said" :-)

"Such a wise message of self-care...one cannot pour from an empty cup. Everything is connected - love it! Totally enjoyed the info and actually better understand vibrational energy, which I am sensitive to."

"The pieces about harmony vs. meeting the other person where they are or trying to bring them to your frequency is SO RELEVANT to interpersonal relationships and social work in a professional setting. SO ENLIGHTENING - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

"I loved hearing about the research associated with your music. Very powerful presentation. Thank you so much!"

"The breathing exercises you shared helped us all immediately.  All of the information you communicated regarding vibrational energy, importance/physics of words and thoughts, and tools for integrating the ideas you shared practically into our lives was invaluable.  I witnessed you connect with each woman so sweetly and I could feel some of the more complex information sink in almost effortlessly.  This is a gift of yours."

"So helpful and practical!  You have helped bring new insight and confirmation of our practices and values! Thank you a million!"

"I've often thought of some of these concepts, but thinking about them in terms of vibrations adds another dimension to them.  My concepts have expanded and have become enriched."

  
 

"You truly helped me to get into my 'being self'!  Something clicked where I saw a huge difference between my 'being' and 'doing' self.  The examples of alpha and beta waves and people's frequency truly explained people's state of minds and their comfort levels.  I appreciate the techniques you use for relaxing or releasing stress and I'm going to try to incorporate them in my life."

"You presented a side of emotion and feeling that I never would have thought about existing - you showed that humans can connect without words, which don't always do justice to what we feel."

  
 

"I learned many new theories about not only how music can effect one, but how to get in touch with myself using only myself."

"Very new information - very well presented."   "Wonderful, contemplative theories."

"As an engineer, we're taught these concepts.  I just never thought to apply them in this way."

"Such important concepts for self-care and helping others - thank you!"

"Too bad more clinical caregivers couldn't access this presentation.  It would be so helpful for our ill patients."

"Your presentation was beautiful – your positive energy is contagious and awe-inspiring. Thank God for the gift of you!  I heard from one of the participants from last evening, which is a first, about the enjoyment she received from last evenings presentation even though the construction caused grief, she was happy to have made it! This says a lot about you and your message. Thank you!

"You are beautiful and have reminded me that I am gifted and special.  So often I don't feel that.  Thank you!"

"I felt totally relaxed during your talk and the music.  I loved it.  Thanks so much!"

"Amy, very helpful to have the words to express the energy I feel.  Your energy and your words have helped me to grow.  Thank you."

"Amy, you have confirmed my life, my purpose.  I am stunned.  Will wait to see and experience more."

"So often when I care for myself I feel guilty and that was so true to hear about compassion in that light..."
