Amy Rutledge came to the study of meditation as a path toward personal healing after struggles with the effects of a debilitating disease, PTSD, depression, and anxiety and found that it helped her in ways when many other approaches failed. She is a Certified Mindfulness and Loving-Kindness Meditation Teacher from the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science in Manhattan. Certified NeuroDynamic Breathwork Facilitator, Certified Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping/EFT), Certified Reiki Practioner, and Sound Bath Facilitator.

She has led meditation, anxiety and stress relief courses, breathwork, sound baths, wellness classes, retreats and more for a wide range of business and cultural institutions, from IBM, NACTO, First Republic Bank,  Walmart E-Commerce, Hungry Root, WeWork, the Alcott Center, The Girl Scouts of America, Brookdale Senior Living, to public institutions such as the Los Angeles Public Library and Jersey City Public Library as well as several other libraries and companies across the country.  She was invited as a guest presenter for the mental health resource fair and honored and recognized for her work at Occidental College

Amy brings to her classes and workshops a graciousness for the second chance that mediation has given her and a passionate desire to aid others with their suffering as she has similarly been aided. She has an expertise in Loving-Kindness/Metta meditation and skills in leading meditation toward mindfulness, self-healing, self-worth and creative visualization. She has experience in guiding children through senior adults. In addition to her skills with mindfulness and meditation, she has significant experience in the arts as an Actor and producer, as well as experience as a ceramicist and owner at RoughWare
