Meet Amy…

Amy Marie Ippolito grew up in Northport, NY and graduated from college with degrees in both Elementary and Special Education. After working as a special educator in both North Carolina and New York for 28 years and raising a family, she sought energy healing as a way of coping with her own personal stress-related health issues which were having a critical impact on her body, mind, spirit and emotions. Thanks to this practical, non-invasive approach, healing life-force energy was restored to her body, mind and soul and she achieved the clarity and balance she'd been so desperately seeking for so long.

Amy's personal Reiki experience inspired her to begin studying the art of Reiki and all things metaphysical. Gradually over time, she began to change her life path in the direction of holistic health and spirituality. She became attuned to Levels I,  II and III of the Usui Reiki System, achieving Master Level Reiki Practitioner in February of 2019. This then led her to continue her studies by becoming fully certified in all 6 levels, (plus several advanced levels) of the Seraphim Blueprint Angelic Healing System. This journey took over a year and a half to complete and has been one of the most vital and exciting experiences which has brought an additional unique healing element to enhance to her professional healing services. 

The utilization of crystals has been a wonderful accessory to her healing sessions. Crystals are one of Amy's greatest passions. She became an avid student and collector of crystals and became a  Certified Crystal Healer in December of 2019. Shortly thereafter, during the pandemic, The Crystal Butterfly Boutique in Kings Park was born. She and her good friend and passionate healer co-created and opened this remarkable business that helped thousands of people on their spiritual journeys. The shop was opened for almost 5 years and ran classes, group eneregy and sound healings, educational workshops, Live Sales on Instagram and Amy ran her own crystal healing certification courses year after year!

Forever a student, Amy keeps abreast of the metaphysical world and loves to educate others on these healing modalities; offering customized services and workshops with crystals. After discovering these passions, she has decided to devote the rest of her life to helping other people find healing and balance in the most healthy and natural ways possible, ultimately finding themselves and their own inner light!  This past fall, Amy took a risk and followed a dream she had to hold a Spiritual Wellness Retreat in a beautiful nautical location. Along with her good friend and spiritual soul sister, Ellen, The “Space for Grace” retreats were born! After suffering the loss of both her parents inside of a few year’s time, Amy made the decision to close up the crystal shop and focus on her next dream of creating the “Anchored Away” Spiritual Wellness Retreat business. The Anchor symbol is one of strength and safety. Her father came to her as this symbol in a waking dream, shortly after he passed away. She was her father’s primary caregiver for the last 4.5 years of his life. This symbol has been so comforting for her and shows up on a regular basis to confirm that even though he is no longer with us, his spirit is still connected and she is anchored in this feeling of safety and strength. That his love is always here, guiding her from above. Helping keep her safe in the storms of her life. One of Amy’s biggest gifts in this lifetime is her ability to create community. To bring out the best in people as individuals and those closest to her refer to her as “The Connector". Always linking souls to one another, helping people to find their way and the support they need Amy is completely committed to helping support others on their individual journeys and is forever grateful to those who've helped, supported and inspired her along the way.
