About Amy

Mothering the self is not selfish; 
it is an act of exquisite generosity.

Driven by the need to dive deeper, aim higher, reach the core of ourselves, I am constantly moving toward the mother energy we each carry within. By creating sacred spaces (online, in person, and in the classroom), I feed the spirits of growth, support, and nurturance to bring yourself back to a place of wholeness.

Few words adequately encompass my experience of Amy Palko. What I do know is this: Amy is one the truly genuine souls I have met in this world. Whether it is through Goddess Guidance readings, Soulskin shawls, or just a friendly Skype chat, Amy holds a depth and brilliance that permeates the air between you and shines as a field of lightning bugs. ~ Sara Blackthorne, storyteller and excavator

I wasn’t always this way, connected and clear of my path. I went to University at 17, got married at 19, had three amazing children by 23. I was invested in being the best possible at my life, including the best mother (I hand-sewed party bags for birthdays, even). The more I strove to be the best, the more miserable I, and everyone around me, became. It was time for a change. I went back to University to earn my PhD and become a lecturer, but by the time I finished there was no longer a market for my talents. It seemed I was lost again.

Being lost is the perfect place to begin.

I’ve spent the past two years {and my whole life} intensely searching for my soul, for the identity I am when I’m not identifying myself through roles, relationships, responsibilities. This journey has taught me how to create gentle yet powerful transformation in women who are seeking their true souls. I return to the circle time and again because I am called to provide warmth, love, and nurturing to women as it flows through me to others, and through them into the world.

I am giving you permission to be self-centered.

I am giving you the space to rip apart the ideas, the {mis}conceptions, that hold you in your daily grind and keep you from potential you never dreamed you had. I am opening the circle, welcoming you in, and accepting you — however you arrive, bedraggled or road-worn — into your skin and into your heart. I want you to sit in the place of not-knowing, and together we can walk the road back to your true self. Together, we will heal and grow into truth and beauty.

I want to help you mother yourself into wholeness.
