Welcome to

Emerging AWE

I offer a range of services for individuals and groups who are on a spiritual path and would like a companion on the journey. Trained in Christian discernment, mysticism, and eco-spirituality, I welcome the opportunity to be in relationship with people of all faiths and those who are still discovering where their spiritual home resides.   

Welcome, I’m Amy

I’m so glad you’re here. I guide people and groups who would like accompaniment on their spiritual journey. I am grounded in the Catholic tradition and live in dialogue with many other religious and spiritual traditions. I have been blessed with people and landscapes in many parts of the world who have accompanied me in the emerging awe of my life.

In addition to my own spiritual practices which include art, prayer, meditation, accompaniment, and 12-step programs; I have a Masters in Spirituality. My desire is for more of us to experience AWE within and around us every day.

I’d love to share a little more about me, some of the things I do, my upcoming events, and my written meditations.

I share this because these are the people and places imprinted on my heart that I go back to again and again when I feel the need for rootedness.

When I was a child, I often pondered my name, Amy, and felt that it was too bubbly and superficial for what I felt expressed my interior world.

Two Oaks
Two Oaks

Out my back window stand two oak trees.  I’m guessing they are about 80 feet high, nearly that many years old, and two hugs around.

My Birth Story
My Birth Story

My mother tells the story of my birth with a mix of sadness and joy. Two months premature, my neck tangled with my umbilical cord …

But what I remember most about those nights and weekends were the quiet, mostly unspoken, conversations.

Today I am knitting together my spiritual home that is a blend of Creation’s cathedral and the temples of humanity.

What’s it like?

Here are some sentiments from past and current clients I’ve worked with.


“I have had the gift of knowing Amy as a co-worker and friend. She recognizes the importance of carefully designed processes that are grounded in spirituality for organizations in periods of early stages of development and long term transformation. Her experience in leadership and understanding of faith-based organizations makes her an ideal facilitator for any group that wishes to go deeper with their visioning and planning. Just as I have found spiritual direction personally a wonderful way to discern God’s voice in my life, I have seen the way Amy accompanies groups to the same end.”
