As you explore this introduction, you’re invited into my heart, my story, and the mindfulness practices born from my own lived experience.

 

I’m Amy Celeste Youngbeard McKinzie, and everything I share is rooted in a journey that officially began when I was just 14 years old.

​

At that time, I was diagnosed with drug-resistant bipolar 1 depression and debilitating anxiety. For years, my life was shaped by deep emotional pain, confusion, and exhaustion—stretching across countless tearful days and nights. Yet within those darkest spaces, a profound awareness began to emerge, gently guiding me toward healing in mind, body, and spirit. Today, I stand fully liberated from the conditions that once defined me.

From this place of freedom, I’ve cultivated transformative, heart-centered practices that I now offer to you. These practices are not theoretical—they were birthed through my own awakening, self-study, and devotion to inner peace. They are designed to help you deepen your connection with yourself, with the present moment, and with the greater universe holding us all.

​

It is here, Dear Sister, that I offer my deepest gratitude for our paths crossing. It is a sacred honor to walk beside you and share the insights gathered through years of self-awareness, healing, and Becoming The Observer of my own mind and emotions.

​

Through my book, Picking Up The Breadcrumbs (available on Amazon), mindfulness coaching, and personalized consultations, we’ll explore the revelations that transformed my approach to life. Each concept and teaching is grounded in holistic transformation—integrating mindfulness and conscious awareness.

​

Together, these practices support your evolving self, helping you release old patterns and live more authentically, intentionally, and at peace.

​

Beyond individual work, I also offer group and organizational services—online or in person—for:

• Circles and women’s groups

• Schools, universities, and nonprofits

• Businesses and corporations

​

These workshops and presentations share practical, accessible techniques to remove barriers to conscious living. Participants learn to become grounded, compassionate observers of their own experience—more centered, peaceful, and alive.

​

I am devoted to being your advocate on this path, sister to sister—supporting you as you clarify your journey from where you are now to where your soul is calling you to be. Now is the time to awaken to the present moment, to reclaim your power, and to consciously experience life in its fullness.

All offerings are available as individual or group sessions, each personalized to your unique needs, intentions, and lived experience. Together, we’ll cultivate mindfulness, conscious living, female empowerment, and the art of Becoming The Observer—so you can remember who you truly are and live from that truth.
