About Amara

Amara Rose is a catalyst for conscious evolution. She's a midwife who doesn't deliver babies, a weaver without a loom, a heart specialist who does no surgery. Synthesizing ancient and modern wisdom, she helps birth you into your highest purpose and potential, so you can remember and reclaim the Love that you are.

This takes shape as quantum evolution coaching, telegatherings, wisdom circles and e-courses, presentations, business alchemy, and authoring articles and CDs. One of the best vehicles for regular infusions of inspiration and information is What Shines, her monthly e-newsletter. Her eBook trilogy, What Shines: Practical Wisdom for Unleashing Your Inner Brilliance, is now available!

Adept at bridging the worlds of mainstream culture and metaphysics, Amara worked in corporate communications for ten years before launching a successful marketing and public relations business in San Francisco in 1989. As her spiritual awakening intensified, this phase of her life dissolved. After reimagining her own life, she created Live Your Light Foundation to guide others through the transformational doorway. Her articles and essays regularly appear in business, health and new thought publications and e-zines, including InnerSelf.com, PlanetLightworker.com, SpiritCrossing.org, SpiritSite.com, E/The Environmental Magazine, NewAgeJournal.com, Share Guide, Yoga Journal, The Inner Edge, The San Francisco Chronicle, OpEdNews.com, CoastNews.com, Common Ground and Psychic Reader.

Living Her Light From The Inside Out

Amara is an ordained minister of The Universal Life Church, a non-denominational "church-without-walls" championing free will and personal growth. She is included in the Selfgrowth.com book, "The Top 101 Experts That Help Us Improve Our Lives". Amara holds a bachelor's degree in social welfare from Penn State University, the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) designation from the International Coach Federation, active membership in Coaching Circles, and a "planetary Ph.D." in multidimensional healing. Her direct experience with the constellation of body/mind/spirit modalities includes acupuncture, Ayur-Veda, naturopathy, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, Network chiropractic, qi gong, yoga, Feldenkrais, and various technologies on the vibrational medicine frontier.

Along the way, she immersed herself in the esoteric arts, cross-cultural wisdom, deep ecology and many spiritual disciplines. She trained in heart-centered public speaking with Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International; enjoyed five years of improvisational comedy classes with Terry Sand (some of the best "basic training" there is for being a life coach!), and studied for four years with a lay ministry dedicated to teaching spiritual principles and their practical application in daily life.

Other profound influences include The Four-Fold Way training with Angeles Arrien, Ph.D.; The Option Process® training developed by Barry and Samahria Kaufman; the "Love, Intimacy and Sexuality" workshops offered through the Human Awareness Institute, and "Power, Passion & Prosperity: From Surviving to Thriving" with Rosalyn L. Bruyere. But the ultimate training was living the initiation from the inside out. This is Amara's story: Learning to Live My Light.

Her personal metamorphosis also involved a name change. Want to read more about that? A Rose By Any Other Name

Amara grew up in Paramus, New Jersey, a town that might have coined the phrase, "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping." People from across the globe come to shop at the Paramus malls (seriously!). Having once lived the mall mentality, Amara now passionately invokes and inspires seekers to grow beyond old beliefs and behaviors–to leap joyfully into your full potential and service as a multidimensional being of Light!
