Amy Wagner,  is a Holistic Trauma Transformation therapist who helps people reclaim the intuitive and connected relationships in the most important parts of their lives.  She is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Advanced EMDR Topics Trainer. 

She owns a boutique group trauma therapy practice in Orlando, specializing in working with clients who experience complex and developmental trauma.  Amy loves to use EMDR and Expressive Arts to help clients on their healing journey.

Amy lives a multi-faceted life, both internally and externally.  After dropping out of college to begin a dance studio at age 19, Amy helped dancers get to their big stage for 15 years.  When life pivoted, she began a real estate career as she raised her two children.  A spiritual calling and her own inner healing led her back to college and then grad school to become a relationship and trauma therapist as her children went off to college.  As a therapist, Amy has been transformative in helping other therapists learn to reduce stigma and embrace the healing journey of trauma transformation for their clients.  Her course, Soul of Dissociation, sold out during the first two offerings.  Amy is on a mission to help healers embrace collective healing by reducing the stigma of “othering”.  Amy is passionate about the interplay of intergenerational trauma, peak performance and athlete mental health which she discusses in the book in progress, “Cart Path Only”.

When not working, Amy travels the world with her professional golfer daughter, visits her son and daughter-in-love in VA, and spends abundant time with her family.  She lives in Windermere, FL with her husband and sweet golden retriever.
