"Amy is a woman of high integrity and deep spirituality. She lives out a life of care and compassion rooted in appreciation of nature and its cycles and seasons, as well as rooted in the wisdom traditions of both East and West. I would say she already is a ministering presence to all given to her care. She is a person of sound judgment and the highest ethical awareness. She is also an accomplished artist - a singer and songwriter - and she brings this creativity to whatever she touches. Finally, I see her very much as a healer. And lest I am painting too ideal a picture, let me hasten to add that Amy has a wonderful spirit and sense of humor and works well with all sorts of people. I count her a colleague and friend."

"Amy Pierce embodies the credo of the Applied Healing Arts program: 'To come to life more fully, so as to serve life more wisely and more nobly.' I had the privilege of advising Amy in her work with clients for the first 18 months of her practice. I find her work to be representative of the highest insight and application of what it takes to heal through the wounds we carry.

As a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Mental Health Nursing with my own psychotherapy practice, I can attest to the skill level that Amy brings to the work she does with others. She is highly qualified to provide counsel to others, is gifted at what she does, and brings a solid, personal foundation in what works. Because of the latter, she holds a genuine and grounded space for her clients - 'she walks the talk.' Her ordination through an organization she can respect, one that mirrors so deeply her own philosophy, is a great gift to the world."
