My Story:

I am a Life-Giving Educator, a true guide that knows how to balance structure and flow to create rhythm, health and freedom. True education must flow as a living structure from person to person in a space that is conducive to giving and receiving in mutuality. It is a conversation between engaged listeners, each person a part owner of the conversation. We can do more when in alignment with each other as a unit of openness and unpredictability. 

If you are more interested in a formal bio and credentials rather than my story please scroll to the end. 

I love teaching people about their bodies. Our bodies are our temple space and they are the only home we ever truly have. If we don’t know how to take care of our temple space – keep it clean and tidy, then surely, we are not going to have a good output. I am a student of yoga since 2004 and have been teaching for nearly as long. After immersing myself for many years in the practice of Rajas yoga, I began to offer 200 hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Trainings and realized my passion in life was to hold space for people exploring their True Self. Together we explored the wisdom and art of the eight limbed rajas-yoga system, and as a result were able to find resonance and transcendence. My passion was unleashed when I would see the results of the teacher trainers that I held this space for. They began choosing to BE all parts of their self/Self - to open and allow, find grace and ease. And truly open to the full potential of their lives here on earth. It isn’t easy to walk a path on earth. We get sidetracked and blocked sometimes and dead ends can keep us hungry for more to chew on. We become addicted… to sometimes all the wrong things. And forget about Our Self. And the importance of things like embodiment and touch. Do you know how important it is to have adequate healthy touch and connection in your life? We have a hyper-sexualized culture that is always hungry for more. Time to go Back to the basics. Belonging, warmth and touch are critical. So besides the fact that we are living in a toxic world we are also very much touch deprived, cold, rigid and our nervous systems’ hijacked. We need to see the root issues. I think that Thai yoga massage is one of the keys to a healthy family and community reality. 

I am a Flow School Waldorf Teacher and Mother that loves the deprogramming of the unschool model. Know what you are passing on to the kids around you. We are responsible to leave a legacy for seven generations forward – through our stories we create. I create uplifting, empowering and inspiring realities that are infused with imagination, intuition and inspiration – In the Now. When I realized how programmed and conditioned I was, I began to parent myself into a conscious parent and had to go through all sorts of mistakes, namely passive-aggressive parenting, controlling, hypersensitive, and the like. Over the last 13 years of my daughters life I have been deprogramming all of the conditions that I saw were taking life instead of giving it. Becoming a life-giving educator was more fully born after my most recent 5 year hiatus of studying for my Master’s of Education with a Waldorf Certification.

As I witnessed the reality, in the field of schools these days, my heart sank as I witnessed much shadow dancing, reward / punishment and so much programming of agendas. I just had to create an antidote. So I took all my prior 20 year investigations of yoga, mindfulness and re-cultivated my body's wisdom messages and applied it to my field studies in school and came up with the Learning with Nature and Life Giving Educators platforms. If you would like to see my research project and final paper, send me a message, I love to share.  I am my own Guru. You are your own Guru. Learn your operating systems and free yourself from the Maia/illusion.

I am in love with Human Design and Gene Keys! These systems are the mechanics of all that I learned in my 20 years of body/mind self investigation. Now I not only know because I know on the inside, but lo’ and behold there is a system that teaches the codes, the Keys! Do you know I have been writing about keys since 2004 when I was first introduced to yoga and had a transcendental experience within the first week of a month long yoga teacher training at an ashram?! And now I can guide people to understand the codes that make up their operating systems so that they can become their own Guru. This is huge. We are divine beings of supreme consciousness. We are sovereign but we must know this and actually practice what we are. There are a lot of human Doings running around thinking they are winning when in reality they are a ticking time bomb and we see how many are exploding right? Ugh. A Tragedy. Remember who you truly are. It is your birthright. Life. 

Mesopotamia and the Crescent Valley has brought us one channel called systemic dysfunction, but the true channel is not a time implant but rather to become as innocent as a child but with our feet firmly rooted to this earth. We can break free and see a new reality. The future is ours. We have a choice at this Now Moment. To live or die is written in each breath. The power is always in our hands, our body temple. I am Learning with Nature. She is my very best teacher. She teaches me how to be still and how to let go and of course to see the beauty in all things. If I need an update to my system, I simply stroll among the flowers and waters and allow my mind to wander and flow. Stream of Consciousness. Witness thy Consciousness and you will be on the road to be free to be me. You see this life is all how we perceive it. Life is in the eyes of the beholder. How do you behold what is in front of you? What is real? The truth sets us free, and nourishment is a key.

I am a Discipline Guide with Simplicity Parenting and I feel especially compelled to mention this because this teacher of mine helped me deeply understand passive vs aggressive parenting styles as well as how to be a loving authority that has clear values, intentions, agreements and boundaries. I am a Mindfulness Educator with Mindful Schools and know how to hold the clear energy and vibration that opens a space of creative flow that then informs with emotional intelligence. The body's wisdom is the key. All emotion is simply energy in motion but when we don’t let it flow and be energy in motion, the stuck energy quite literally gets lodged in the body and creates issues in the tissues. We have to work this out.

I have written a couple ebooks: Embodied Star: You are the Key; Healthy Rhythms: Hands, Heart and Head.

I am here in service. An Embodied Star. A Spectral Sphinx. An Emotional Manifesting Generator with qualities of a Heretic and a Hermit. I have the Cross of the Sphinx and as a guide to humanity I feel the need to share the ways I explore life in the NOW. I am a Life-Giving Educator.  It is time now that we thrive and remember who we truly are: divine manifestations of supreme consciousness and it is our birthright to be alive. 

Amber Bio -

True Education is key, and her mission is to help people awaken through providing tools that lead to curiosity, growth and self-knowledge. She accomplishes this through a variety of ways including private and group work, trainings and education of all ages and stages. Currently, she offers Human Design/Gene Keys readings, Parent / Teacher Education Consultations, Yoga Teacher Trainings and Body / Energy Healing Services.

Amber guides people in the art of teaching yoga and mindfulness. She has studied with many teachers over the last 20 years and now brings her synthesis of these teachings to the world.

She studied with the King Salomon Mystery School and as a teacher in the lineage, she shared many practices including DNA activations and etheric, astral and physical healing sessions. Since 2011, she has sat in circle with several medicine people from different traditions throughout South America and discovered the practice of deep shadow work with sacred plant medicines. She just recently finished a 7-month Thai Yoga Massage Training with Ariela Grodner here in Gainesville.

As a mother, she has been guided over the last 11 years to support a deprogramming of all the conditions within her that would impact life in an unhealthy way. Amber is a student of life and has been cultivating witness consciousness since she was introduced to yoga in the early 2000's. Witness consciousness is the idea that we can witness our thoughts, words and actions without judgement, attachment or aversion but rather in a contemplative fashion, a deep listening. It helps one to see the truth of the moment. Not taking things personally is one result that comes about with this practice. You know the Bible quote, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." To cultivate the innocence of a child, but yet have the experience and knowledge of an adult with firm feet planted on the earth. Full Divine Manifestation of Supreme Consciousness and it is our Birthright to Thrive, not simply survive. She is currently in the process of publishing two books: Embodied Star: The Art of Living Connected and Life Giving Educator: Learning with Nature.

As Amber witnessed her own conditioning, she noticed how random programming would come out of her mouth in the beginning of her daughter's life. She was led on a deeper investigation into trauma work (Dr. Gabor Mate), conscious parenting (Shefali Tsabury) and education. She was introduced to Waldorf education in 2004 and she is currently finishing up a 5-year Master’s intensive in Waldorf education, with Antioch University. Throughout her studies, she has designed two offerings; a Life-Giving Educator’s program that supports parents and teachers in holding space for children’s needs today, as well as Learning with Nature, a four-fold approach for homeschooling families and teachers working within alternative educational methods.

She was introduced to Human Design many years ago but was really called to it in the last several years that she has been working in education. This system is designed for children. We are in a strong time on earth where a mutation is taking place that will change the background frequency of the planet. This is a call for us all to get back to nature, back to our nature. We have all been programmed by our ancestral, cultural and environmental spaces and traditions. Human design gives us the tools to begin the experiment of coming home to our self. Learning the mechanics of the body and mind can free one from the Maia or illusion and the suffering that is inherent.

After deep self-study for a couple years, she decided to go all in to learn the science of differentiation, Human Design. She began working with her daughter's design and started teaching her the mechanics of her operating systems. The results were better than she ever could have imagined, and it was at that point that she decided to train with a mentor to learn the system.

She now offers these services that are deeply impactful and life changing. The Human Design system provides a toolbox that is comprehensive and when applied and embodied will take you from frustration, disappointment, bitterness and anger to satisfaction, delight, success, and peace. As a purveyor of high vibe wisdom, she can honestly say that this system is one of the greatest resources on the planet at this time.

Learn your design and remember your uniqueness. You are the key. Unlock Your Self.

Human design is the science of differentiation and through application it becomes an art. It is a synthesis of astrology, IChing, Kabbalah and Vedic Chakra System. Embodying your design is a practice, an experiment. Begin today. The time is now to learn the codes, embody your unique design and free your mind.

My view on the education system at large and why we need a quantum re-alignment

Collectively, we have overlooked the education system and the revamp its needed for quite some time. It’s quite amazing that the collective conversation is more and more centered around body, mind and spirit health, but that conversation hasn’t reached many of our systems. My work is an attempt at redefining what it means to educate and the first step is to re-educate ourselves. Too many people have been indoctrinated into the all-consuming system that is eating us all alive and spitting us out as unhealthy and disease-ridden human doings. We need to rise up and take our power back and dive deep into a real education that is founded on connection, truth and authentic expression. Our creative potential is unlimited, however the distortions, programs and limitations that have been placed on humanity have created full blown dis-ease, dis-connection and dis-content. The indoctrination of a specific way of life that revolves around the game of money is destroying our race. We are an achievement-oriented culture that is successfully achieving a painful rip of consciousness. We need to get off the doing mentality and get on the being mentality. Eastern wisdom traditions teach these ways and are a great resource to us all.

Being a guide in the world today isn’t easy. It takes effort, self-responsibility and accountability. Basically, owning our reactions and not trying to control reality.

Her programs are designed to support you in becoming all of you, so that you too can help guide a new way of being in the world. In setting a space for this we can tap into unlimited potential. When groups come together in this way there is no limit to what we can do.

Over the last 20 years I've been learning and growing so that in this NOW moment I can share all that I have learned with YOU!
