Meet Amelia

Welcome to my story, one shaped by lineage, spirit, and a lifelong inquiry into what keeps us alive, connected, and whole. My work in Hara Energy Medicine is rooted in generations of caretaking, sensitivity, and devotion to the unseen currents of life.

I grew up around my father’s family funeral home. That experience allowed me to cultivate a rich and unusual relationship with the human spirit.

I saw and experienced ‘energy work’ as a young child, but not under that name.

At times, while visiting my father’s office, I would watch him place his hand on the back of someone’s heart offering then silent heart-centered care. He was communicating with them in the language beyond words, in energy.  I watched his clients soften; how a visible quieting would move through them as he held them in presence, healing intention and compassion.

Sometimes, after school, he’d bring me along while he finished his work at the funeral home.
There, surrounded by both the living and the departed, I began a lifelong inquiry into what truly defines our aliveness and spirit.

The funeral home has been our family for over 250 years.

For over 250 years, our family has been entrusted with that sacred space. I believe a sensitivity to energy, emotion, and Spirit has been passed through our lineage for eight generations.

I’ve watched that same quiet gift unfold in my brother’s care for the grieving, in my sister’s tenderness with children, and in my own capacity to listen to the unseen currents of life.
These roots in caretaking, sensitivity, and service are no accident; they are the soil from which my healing work continues to grow.

My mother also shaped my path profoundly. Her love of sound and the natural world taught me how vibration and nature are both healers. She could play 24 instruments, her favorite being the harp. As a child, I would listen to her singing at the piano, feeling my heart light up as music moved through the room.

Later, she returned to school and opened a hybrid rhododendron nursery on the farm where I grew up.

The rhythm of tending plants, patience, care, and witnessing their cycles, became an essential part of my own spiritual development.

Those flowers taught me how to work with growth, beauty, and timing—the same principles that guide healing today.
