Amy recently became certified in Reiki 1, and is also an NSCA certified personal trainer.

She also loves yoga on the beach, breathing in and out with the ebb and flow of the ocean waves. She believes that everybody is different, and every body is different, and wants everybody to know that yoga is for every single body!
