Amy’s love for people is the beacon guiding her to this beautiful work. As a trauma survivor, she offers retreat participants the wisdom and expertise of her own healing combined with what she has learned from many people’s healing journeys. Early in her career as a registered nurse, she saw firsthand how often people were left cycling through treatments that didn’t bring enough relief. Each step in her training—from RN to family nurse practitioner to psychiatric nurse practitioner—felt like getting closer to a way to help people heal themselves, but never reaching the goal. Years ago when she started benefiting from psychedelic medicine coupled with therapy, she changed her mind in all the best senses. She saw a path toward the kind of deep, lasting healing that people deserve. In 2023, Amy completed a year-long fellowship and certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, receiving training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), MDMA-assisted therapy in partnership with MAPS, psilocybin-assisted therapy, and general psychedelic-assisted therapy. Alongside Sal, in 2023 she launched Transcendelic to help people become their healthiest, most fulfilled selves through psychedelic-assisted group and individual therapy, peer support, nature’s beauty, nourishing food, yoga, massage, meditation, and breathwork.
Amy and the Transcendelic team support people as they move beyond survival and into lasting transformation. Many who arrive here have spent years navigating a healthcare system that often leaves them feeling unheard, over-medicated, and under-supported. They’ve tried Western medical treatments that never got to the root of their pain, and they carry a hope that something greater is possible. Amy knows deeper healing is available for people, and does what she can to make this accessible for folks. She is a regular provider of free and sliding scale care for those who need it most. Amy centers decolonization, social justice, and liberation in delivery of care. People who work with Amy often share how seen and supported they feel, describing her as compassionate, wise, and open-minded. Across inpatient, outpatient, retreat, and telehealth settings, she has worked with people of many backgrounds and different ages, and she remains continually inspired by the courage and insight of her clients. She has discovered tools for transcendence not only from witnessing and participating in many people’s experiences with the healthcare system, but also from her own journey as a mental health client who was formerly told her emotional wounds could not be healed. Together with others fortunate enough to have found a different path than the Western medical system’s approach, she is a living testament to the truth that emotional wounds can successfully be healed with the right care. The healthcare system has failed and marginalized many people, then told them the lie that they are broken and that is why they couldn’t be helped. Amy co-created Transcendelic with an intention to help people realize they are not broken, and they have an inner healing intelligence that will empower them to embrace wholeness and wellness once the barriers to healing are found and addressed.
Amy’s therapeutic approach is informed by countless teachers to whom she is forever indebted—Indigenous peoples who have traditionally held and shared sacred medicines, colleagues, loved ones, therapists, authors, researchers, students, and, most of all, her clients. Their stories, strength, and transformations shape the heart of this work. In addition to her work with Transcendelic, she offers ketamine-assisted therapy, psychotropic management, and trauma-informed psychotherapy through her private practice, Phoenix Era Wellness.
The work of healing is never done in isolation, and retreats are a way to build and strengthen connection and community. Together with the whole team, Amy looks forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and humbly walking alongside you as you discover your highest self.
