Amy Alaman, owner and founder of Sacred Paintbrush Arts, is a certified Master Facilitator of intuitive painting, certified hypnotist, artist, jewelry maker, whimsy chaser, and advocate for creative healing. She is proud to offer arts-based somatic healing classes and one-on-one coaching for Embodied Liberation and believes in practicing art as a means for personal and collective liberation. Shortly after graduating from Mills College with a B.A in Ethnic Studies, she spent six months in Ghana and Kenya working with infants and children, planting her feet in the earth, and soaking up the energy of the Motherland as part of her own healing journey.
She combines her 23+ years of experience in addiction recovery and mentorship, and her 13 years of intuitive painting experience to create deeply loving and radically non-judgmental healing circles helping folx reconnect with themselves and find deep healing and transformation through creative expression. She also sells intuitively created artwork, hand-painted wearable art jewelry and other hand-crafted goods at her Sacred Adornment shop at local pop-up events.
