Testimonials
“Amy Jean Carter is the real deal. From the viewpoint of being a Transformative Coach and healer for over 20 years, I rank Amy Jean as one of the top integrative energy healers I’ve worked with, and I’ve worked with many. I know her to be an outstanding practitioner. Her work is powerful, compassionate and effective. When she’s working on you, you can feel old knots being untied, deep tensions release, and a gentle, loving energy that adjusts, unwinds and soothes your whole system. She helped me personally clear out a deep, unresolved issue in a matter of a few sessions that years of other approaches couldn’t touch. Amy Jean is a wonderful and gifted healer who has put in the energy, time and dedication to refine her skills and abilities. I am beyond grateful for the work we’ve done. If you’re lucky enough to get a chance to work with her, I’d jump on the opportunity! You will be so grateful you did.”
“I worked with Amy Jean at such a pivotal time in my life; a very difficult time in my life. She saw beyond my difficulties and struggles, supporting me, helping me to identify my patterns, release heavy baggage I had been carrying for too long, and helped to guide me in shifting my life for the better. She was such a support, and ignited a beautiful spark within me to transform in to my Highest Self! She led me to trust in myself, life, and my own belief system once again. Working with Amy Jean was powerful! I am now moving forward with becoming a Reiki practitioner, and know that working with her helped guide me to my true calling. I am forever grateful for the work we did together, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
If you choose to sign up for a healing intensive, I highly recommend it. She creates a holistic and peaceful place to heal, offering everything you could ever need. What I gained emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically was so much more than I could have ever expected. Amy’s healing programs are well worth the financial investment. What you will experience during your healing time with Amy will last a lifetime.”
“I’ve been working with Amy Carter for almost 6 years now, and she has helped me with so much. From my first appointment, I could tell that Amy was a different kind of practitioner. She seemed as interested in how I was doing emotionally as how I was doing physically. When you are managing chronic conditions like thyroid disease and Type 1 Diabetes, you are constantly under stress to get it right. And you still have all of the pressures of the rest of your life, too! It has meant so much to me that Amy sees me as a whole person – a client with Diabetes, yes, but also a woman, mom, wife, and daughter. I’ve also appreciated that Amy understands that I want to live a full and healthy life, despite my conditions. I target an A1C that I know makes me feel my best, and she is supportive of my desire to manage my diabetes to hit that target. It may not be the same A1C as all of her other clients, and she is okay with that, because she knows each of her clients is unique. I highly recommend Amy to anyone I know that is dealing with a diagnosis of Diabetes. It’s a hard disease to manage, and we need the support of people like Amy who really understand what we are going through.”
“I cannot emphasize enough the blessing it has been to work with Amy Carter over the past few years. As a Type 1 female for 40 years, I’ve struggled to find someone that I could feel emotionally safe with and that would gently encourage me on my health journey. Working with Amy has been such a positive experience that we have been more than willing to drive 2+ hours for our sessions with her. My family and I are beyond thankful for Amy’s expertise and experience and how she has helped me to gain more confidence and control as a Type 1!”
“Amy has helped me to learn ways to have much better glucose control, and has encouraged me to accept that fluctuations in blood sugars, and the need to create specific plans for certain situations in a life with Type 1 Diabetes is part of the process. This has helped me to have less stress related to my diabetes, which has been priceless. I highly recommend working with Amy if you have Diabetes. She is knowledgeable, wise, offers great ways to improve your blood sugars and life in general, and cares about your overall well-being.”
“Amy’s energy as a healer is very grounded, loving and powerful. In my session with her she took her time and supported my energy to stabilize, align and open up even more. Through Amy’s work I’ve emerged more connected to my personal power, to my soul’s purpose, and my heart’s wisdom, which in turn has allowed me to serve and connect to others in an even more powerful way. I’m so deeply grateful and blessed to have her in my life and highly recommend her services as an Energy Healer and Coach.”
“Amy Carter, FNP, stands out as a dedicated healthcare professional with a passion for serving patients with Diabetes. Her commitment is evident in the multifaceted role she plays – not just as a provider but also as a coach and educator. As a coach, she brings a personalized approach, guiding individuals through the challenges of managing Diabetes with empathy and understanding. In her role as an educator, Amy excels at imparting crucial information, and empowering clients to make informed decisions about their own health. Her comprehensive skill set undoubtedly contributes to the well-being of those under her care, making her an invaluable asset to the Diabetes community. Additionally, Amy’s genuine and caring approach towards her clients has been truly inspiring. Witnessing her interactions with those managing Diabetes has motivated me to strive for excellence and to aspire to give back to the community. Her authenticity not only fosters a positive environment for clients but also creates a ripple effect that encourages others, myself included, to be better healthcare professionals. It is indeed a privilege to collaborate with such an exceptional individual.”
“Over the last 22 years, I’ve worked with several different Endocrinologists (and NP’s) and never experienced the care or expertise that I have experienced working with Amy. She doesn’t see the work she does as a job; it is her passion. She cares for her clients on a personal level and is the only person I have worked with that has shown this level of dedication to my health and well-being. Working with Amy is truly a gift and wherever life takes her, I plan to be along for the ride!”
“Amy’s energy was reaching out to me even before my actual energy healing sessions with her. I was there to give HER a massage and SHE asked me how I was doing. I am used to just answering that question with clients fairly lightly, as the focus is on them and their needs. I was so surprised that the emotions that I had been bottling up just came rushing to the surface.
I was dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions about something that I felt like I needed to keep to myself in order to not offend or upset others in my and my significant other’s family. I was definitely having a struggle within that I didn’t feel like I could confide in anyone in my circle about. When Amy asked if I would be open to her doing some energy work with me, I agreed. At that point I knew that Amy was someone I could trust and obviously felt comfortable in sharing with her what was going on for me.
When we had the actual sessions, I remember feeling a sense of calm and an unspoken support as Amy worked. At one point I started this odd wheezing deep in my chest and then coughing for no reason. After that the tightness in my heart, chest and throat that I had been feeling seemed to be gone. It literally felt like I was able to relax and clear my throat after all of the times in the few weeks leading up to that moment I had been holding in my words and emotions.
I can’t explain it any other way but to say I felt so supported to just let my thoughts and feelings flow. Later I felt as if there was a shift in my perspective and I was able to more easily find the words to better explain my thoughts and emotions to those involved. What I found was that the same people that I had previously feared would either not understand or might even be offended or upset, actually received the acknowledgement and even helped support me through this time. The sessions with Amy allowed me to trust others more, and I realized that in my fear of sharing I had underestimated them and their capacity to have empathy for my unique situation.
Thank you Amy for being such an amazing facilitator to me. Thank you for helping me “find my words” to be able to express my overwhelming emotions and the shift necessary to make better sense of them. Your healing energy was so nurturing through my whole healing process. Thank you again.”
“As a husband of a wife with Type 1 diabetes, I am writing to express gratitude and admiration for Amy Carter. Throughout the time that Amy has been overseeing my wife’s care, we have been consistently impressed by her dedication, expertise, and compassionate approach to care. Managing Type 1 Diabetes is a life-long challenge with ups and downs. Amy has demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of Type 1 Diabetes and has tailored a plan that is both effective and manageable for my wife’s needs. She has been instrumental in educating us about the condition, helping us navigate the daily challenges it presents, and making sure we have the tools and knowledge necessary to maintain a high quality of life. Moreover, Amy’s outstanding qualities extend beyond her expertise. She is not just an exceptional professional but also an outstanding communicator. Her ability to listen attentively and convey information in a clear, empathetic manner has greatly reduced our family’s stress related to Diabetes and significantly improved our daily life. Amy’s conscientious and compassionate approach to care has not only benefited my wife but has also provided us with a sense of security and support that is invaluable in our journey with Diabetes.”
“I feel like I won the jackpot with Amy. She truly cares about Type 1 Diabetes, but it definitely does not rule her life. She teaches you how to live and thrive while having it. She has taught me not to worry so much, just to eat healthy and bolus for your carbs. I don’t worry before my appointments like I used to, she is calm and caring and tries to think about ways to help. Amy has taught me that negative energy spent on this disease is a waste of time. I feel as if I can finally let go of the fear and be in control of my life with Diabetes. Amy is very knowledgeable and personable and seeks out ways to better herself so she can help people with Type 1 Diabetes. My A1C is down because of her and I know so much more about what I can do to help myself stay healthy.”
“Amy Carter has provided ongoing support and help to me on a regular basis. Her guidance, inside knowledge and expertise, as a woman with Type 1 Diabetes, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and Family Nurse Practitioner, has helped me physically in making changes and understanding my insulin pump, but has also nourished me mentally, emotional and spiritually. I know she is there; I know I can count on her, and I know she understands the issues that surround this disease on a personal basis. She has helped me plan for trips with the insulin pump and also has helped immensely with equipment challenges and frustrations, bringing me peace of mind. I highly recommend her services in the clearly Western realm, as well as other modalities for mental coping and growth.”
“It was my good fortune to have been referred to Amy Carter a number of years ago. When first we met, I was impressed by her relaxed demeanor as well as her ability to determine through an informal conversation, my personal history and goals regarding Diabetes. I was struck not only by her clinical experience, but also by her own personal relationship with Diabetes and its many facets. Amy has been able to guide me slowly through a number of changes in my dealings with the disease, always making sure that I understood her reasoning. All that being said, my A1C readings are now consistently below seven, and I feel very fortunate to have developed an ally and a friend in Amy Carter.”
