About Amy

I work as a professor, writer, speaker, and ritual creator. 

I believe rituals are transformative and powerful, so I wrote Meaning in the Moment: How Rituals Help Us Move Through Joy, Pain, and Everything in Between.

I also believe that embodied experiences enhance communication and learning. My teaching on theology, gender, or worship always involves movement and response, especially as we create or enact meaningful rituals.. 

I am founder and director of Woman: A Rite of Passage Program and authored The Book of Womanhood to empower women to be their true selves in the world. My writing has been featured in Everbloom and The Wonder Years, and by Christianity Today, CBE International, Redbud Writers Guild, InterVarsity Fellowship, and Missio Alliance.

 You can find me beside a campfire, growing something green, climbing a mountain, traveling around the word, or enjoying good food with friends. I love all kinds of beauty, mentor many, adventure in cities and on trails, and a wife and the mama of two boys. I’d love to hear from you!
