Amy Anderson

Hello! My name is Amy C. Anderson and I’m a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, licensed massage therapist, certified yoga instructor & clinical herbalist. I graduated from the Universal College of Healing Arts in 2009 and became licensed as a massage therapist in 2010. I am currently a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. As a bodyworker, I have taken over 250 continuation education hours of trauma informed hands on work, as well as exploring other modalities such as myofascial techniques, cranial sacral, trigger points, and extensive self education on how touch affects the nervous system. I am a certified yoga instructor as well. I began my yoga practice in 1997 and began teaching after receiving my training in 2006 from Omaha Yoga and Bodywork Center. I also received certification in Yin Yoga in 2007. I have studied with and give thanks to my many teachers including: Susi Amendola, Rolf Sovik, Cora Wen, Amy Matthews, and Sarah Powers. After feeling strongly called to work with the plants for a few years, I began my herbal education at the Herbal Wisdom Institute in 2018, receiving my clinical herbalist certification in 2019. Also, in 2019, I completed an herbal apprenticeship with Darcey Blue at Sacred Wildness. Finally, I rounded out my herbal education in 2021 at the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine. Lastly, I have so much gratitude for the plants - they are the ultimate teachers and our eternal allies.
