Provider Spotlight: Amy Hatlan (she/her), Energy Worker
By Iví English (they/them)
Amy Hatlan is the newest provider to join Sol Solace Studio, and has studied and practiced Reiki, Emotion, and Body Code for about 13 years. She has facilitated therapeutic techniques for her clients since 2016 as an independent business owner based out of Arizona and Hawai’i. Read on to learn more about Amy and her intuitive skill set.
As a child, Amy’s father worked as a mining engineer and her mother was a researching micropaleontologist composing her master’s publication; along for the ride, Amy was thus afforded the opportunity of global travel to explore terrestrial treasures both hidden and seen. Her footprint has marked the sands of Australian Opal mines and has treaded the beaches of Baja California Sur. Crystals remain an important element in her work as supportive spirits for her clients — whether it be a piece of Rose Quartz or Obsidian Apache Tears placed over your heart (as they did mine), or lying above a crystal mat composed of various quartz crystals and other gems.
Identifying and choosing to address trauma is often the turning point that leads one to seek solace, as it was for Amy. Upon the birth of her second child, Amy was caught in the whirlwind of her child’s congenital disability. The next two years were then spent taking her child in and out of the white walls and sterile air of hospitals. Suddenly, things took a sharp turn to the unexpected. A medical injury caused a dramatic developmental shift for her child — loss of speech and behavioral changes — that deeply concerned Amy and created a rift in the belief that Western medicine would be her only option to support her child. Then, coupled with a particularly harrowing (and inaccurate) prediction by a neurologist that her child would lead a life without being married, attending college, or having an independent life triggered the shift to seek a new kind of support for her child.
With determination, Amy and her secondborn underwent an exploration of various traditional therapeutic modalities. Finally, her child showed receptiveness to Reiki. As luck would have it, Amy had completed her Reiki Attunement prior to the birth of her second child. With the guidance of her mentor, she was taught how to personalize care to her young child. She also approached her child’s rehabilitation combined with her training in Emotion and Body Code with much success, and was able to bring comfort and stability to her child’s wellbeing. From Amy, I learned that Emotion and Body Code are a method of clearing out stuck emotions and identifying where they are in the body, as was developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson.
Because of her child’s dramatic shift in behavior and cognition, Amy’s ability to do powerful work was noticed by family and friends alike, who began requesting her work and word quickly spread. Many folks attest that Amy has a great intuitive skill of making them feel exceptionally safe, and from my experience, Amy is readily adaptable to your unique needs, comforts, and preferences. Amy combines her intuitive gifts with her ancestral connection and teachings from her Celtic lineage to adapt her sessions accordingly. As part of the tradition she follows, she was recently initiated with St. Brigid — a deity who assumes her position as both a Goddess and Saint and is venerated with fire — Amy represents her connection well as she also takes on various shapes and intensities so that all of her clients may feel her warmth and comfort.
When I asked Amy how she connects with her clients, she responded, “Connection is knowing a person.” To get to know you, she may ask questions to help bring forth your full self, welcome you into a space that she imbues with an air of home, and help ground the two of you in your session by touching or hovering over areas of your body to ask permission to work on you. In our session, she placed her hands on my feet, which were tucked into a blanket, and asked, “Did you have a headache this morning?”. In fact, I’d had one and had almost forgotten about it, too. “I bet it was a gnarly one,” she said fittingly.
For those of you wondering, “Okay, Amy doesn’t do massage, so what does she do?,” I’ll share some more about my session with her. When Amy taps into someone’s energy, she can typically sense their present guides and depending on the session, where their pain points might be, and a sense of their trauma history. Often, this happens prior to the session itself, and helps Amy to prepare herself and bring the tools necessary for that person. For my session, I was feeling the need to release and process emotions out of my body and Amy facilitated a phenomenal clearing to do just that. A clearing, as Amy defines it, is a removal of energy that doesn’t serve that individual’s highest good and brings them closer to the vibration of their soul purpose. Our daily experiences can tip our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual scales to extremes gradually — or drastically — depending on the situation. A clearing, however, can aid us to bring our whole system back into a balanced state and opens us up to receive new experiences, perspectives, and opportunities to react differently to new and recurring issues. During a clearing, you have the opportunity to meet yourself from a different perspective by revisiting yourself and others in moments of your life experiences in order to release wounds and have conversations that perhaps weren’t resolved or didn't happen. Amy facilitates you to help fill these moments with soothing techniques in an effort to create a new outcome. This therapeutic modality helps to promote settling in the body by relieving stress and promoting emotional release.
Doing healing work can sometimes get heavy and some can be put off by its messiness or discomfort. With Amy, you can go as deep into your wounds as you desire and move into it as you are comfortable. Amy’s priority is the comfort of her clients and bringing relief to the areas of the body that manifest as pain, discomfort, or heaviness. If you are open to it in your session, Amy has mediumship training and you can express your desire for her to intuitively read your energy. She is also versed in Spiritual DNA Activation and she can incorporate either of these additional modalities into your session upon request. If you find yourself hovering over the “Book Now” button, your guides have already pushed you this far – just do it!
