Hi! I'm Amy. I'm an author, multidisciplinary artist, actress, TEDx speaker, writer & "Detourist" with a one-woman autobiographical musical about my near-death experience and my continued celebration of life. Through my speaking, transformative workshops and inspiring performance, I'm helping others navigate their own detours by turning obstacles into opportunities. I'm a strong advocate for the healing benefits of the expressive arts. It's my goal to bring out the stories that unite us all.

From the visual arts to music to writing to education, my work is rooted in inspiration, empowerment and creativity. Through my "Four Hard-Core Skills to Resilience" you'll find beauty in any detour!
