Amy embodies an open, accepting and gentle presence, so each person feels safe exploring and aligning with their own values. That is invaluable in helping people to recognize their real goals in both personal and working life, and effectively reach them.

Amy is both highly intuitive and grounded in her approach to coaching. Her own inner growth and balance are evident in the way in which she relates to others. She’s warm and compassionate, but can focus and track in a balanced way.

Amy has all of the qualities that we at HeartMath look for in a coach, and I recommend her most highly as someone who will bring unquestioned value, kindness and fulfillment to her coaching clients.

When Amy begins working with my clients, they can go further and deeper in each adjustment and hold that integration longer than before.

I have known Amy "Bear Paw" Piper professionally for 18 years. As a guide and teacher, Amy meets clients exactly where they are in the moment with compassion and presence. Amy’s true gift is her ability to help each person connect with their own higher wisdom to heal their hearts and more effectively reach toward their outer goals.

Rev. Kimberly Cahill
Founder of Souls Journey

Amy has been a fellow traveler in healing, and I have come to respect her healing presence. I have found that she has real compassion and understanding, and a great facility for bringing things gently to one’s awareness. This is essential when working in such sacred space.

Roy F., M.D. - Environmental Physician

I earned my master's degree in psychology and counseling, and expanded skills by studying energy medicine, neuroscience, mythology, and shamanic healing paths. I learned to apply physical and metaphysical science to increase health and

well-being, and attended programs where I received healing for my own emotional wounds.

I spent several years studying business dynamics that support the well-being of our world community to help create a business that would offer my gifts and provide a living aligned with my personal values and sense of purpose.

Today I work with other Strong and Sensitive people (those with Subtle Sense Awareness). I know how our gifts shape our experience and impact our inner world, and how important it is to understand this part of our nature as we create our lives. I understand what it’s like to have these kinds of gifts in a world which doesn’t provide clear recognition, training or careers that are specific to how we think and the valuable understandings we bring.

I assist each person to recognize their own unique subtle sense gifts and apply their wisdom and training to serve their individual sense of purpose, and balance that calling with their own personal needs. I’ve also developed a unique approach to spiritual healing which I call Healing Presence - each participant's natural Healing Presence unfolds organically as we journey together.

I understand the tenderness of feeling vulnerable. I know how to hold a safe sacred space for those who are struggling or suffering, and who need help to heal, grow and connect so they can move into the life they've dreamed.

Naturally a child of Subtle Sense Awareness, I noticed many things others didn’t notice – energy patterns, emotional climates and “presences”. I learned early that I also have a caring, empathic nature and enjoy helping others.
 

Frequently I was sought out by peers who were in pain or needed some caring reflection. I was also sometimes called "over-sensitive" or that "my feet don't touch the ground". I didn't really understand those statements, especially since in many ways I was a rather strong, tough little girl. I was a shy, self-conscious, lonely child who bloomed into an intelligent, creative, connected adult.

I've recognized that I'm a "social introvert", someone who needs a lot of alone time to recharge while also being very outgoing and social when the mood arises. I've learned how to charge, inspire and re-balance myself on a regular basis. I learned that it's important for me to connect with friends, community and other intuitive, heart-centered leaders. These friendships feed me deeply and are essential keys to my well-being.

Subtle Sense Awareness has pointed me toward practical pathways and solutions, informing me about investment strategies and business ventures. It's kept me away from dangerous people and situations, while steering me toward strong connected alliances. It has brought insights into healing my own emotional trauma, chronic illness and serious injuries – and that of others. It provides a deep, intuitive understanding of my clients so I can help them utilize their deepest wisdom and fulfill their most cherished goals.

My spirit name is “Kodiak Bear Paw”. Bear came to me in a dream at a time of personal struggle, asking me to claim my “spirit name” so I would be reminded to lean into that which is greater than myself. Bear is a powerful animal spirit who brings strength, courage, refuge and healer-ship. The “Paw” reminds me I’m am not the source of these qualities but “a hand of the divine”, using these qualities in the service of the larger good.

I discovered that Kodiak bears are specific to Kodiak Island, where they share a small bailiwick and a single fresh-water river. Like all bears, they are independent and fierce. Yet because of the constraints of their environment, these bears live in closer proximity and more cooperatively than other bears. This reflects something true about me – independent, strong, cooperative and caring. I've come to deeply love and appreciate the Kodiak Bear spirit who lights my way.
