About
The Holistic Listener was founded with the idea that we were all born completely unique. My passion is to empower others to honor their authentic self, in body, soul, and spirit. By connecting to others through The Holistic Listener I hope to provide an outlet for expression of feelings, fears, or other inner thoughts to find peace and bring clarity from within. Everyone deserves to have an outlet for self-expression, and a sounding board that can help reflect yourself back to you. My goal is to give you a private, confidential, and safe place to express whatever is on your heart to a caring and empathetic listener.
My Story
My name is Amy Michele and I have spent most of my life listening and helping people sort through their experiences. I am highly sensitive and have been a “listener” since childhood. Whether it was friends, acquaintances, or people I just met, others would seek me out to listen. They seemed to sense that I was a safe person to share their needs, secrets, problems, and inner dialogue with. I grew up used to this energy exchange and started early pouring through psychology books and diving into philosophical and spiritual works. With this sense of purpose, I pursued my undergrad education with a BA in Psychology. I continued to work 15 years in my corporate mortgage career while raising my son and continuing my psychology education. In search of how to best support the emotional needs of others around me, I spent any & all free time reading articles, doing research, listening to podcasts on the human psyche, healing, trauma, and many subjects around and in between. To help others has always been my spirit-centered purpose in life.
As I got closer to pursuing the path of becoming a licensed therapist, I realized that being a therapist is not what my spirit was called to be or felt comfortable being. I was born to be a “listener”. Yes, therapists do this as well. However, therapists listen to diagnose and that’s just not what resonates with my individuated being. I believe that the journey of becoming our best self is not about becoming anything, but about letting go of societies expectations and unbecoming all the things we were told to be in the first place. This is exactly why I started The Holistic Listener. By providing intuitive listening, I can offer what I feel is missing in many people's life journeys...being heard and seen for who they are.
​
As an empath, I have a perceptive ear for really hearing what people have to say as well as what they are not saying. I am able to empathize and understand people without passing judgement or interjecting my personal feelings onto them.
Being a "listener" isn't what I do, it's part of who I am.
I’m here to give space for you to be YOU
