ABOUT ME

Amy Talton is a certified life coach, trauma practitioner, and currently training as a spiritual director.  As an adoptive mom, she has been studying trauma and neuroscience for many years.  Her greatest experience has been her own journey with mental health struggles and dark nights of the soul. 

 

She is trauma-informed and trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) which is an evidence-based modality utilizing parts work.  Amy currently works for a non-profit where she provides community care and facilitates a trauma recovery program.   She is passionate about creating safe spaces and bringing trauma-informed care to every environment.

​

Amy loves studying contemplative spirituality and she believes these ancient tools can be a healing resource.  The rhythms of spiritual direction, silence, journaling, lectio divina, solitude, and centering prayer have been critical to her own spiritual formation. Amy also enjoys studying the nervous system and incorporates somatic practices that bring calm and regulation to the body.

 

She is committed to being a holy listener. Her prayer is that everyone would find peace on their journey towards deeper wholeness.
