Analyst and dream veteran for 35 years. She also attended intensive workshops
with Amy and Arnold Mindell -- the renowned Jungian trained analyst, world
work/conflict resolution expert and founder of the Portland based Process Training
Institute. All three methods allow for dream-re-entry and blend psychoanalytic
methods with traditional shamanic wisdom. Amy incorporates all these methods
into her psychic reading sessions and vision quest guiding.
