Today I am speaking with a talented healer and spiritual mentor.  My guest is Amy Robeson who is a skilled teacher with a rare ability to clearly communicate high spiritual concepts, so her students become powerful healers in their own right. She has been gifted with the ability to tap into the depths of one’s soul’s desires to discover the inner dialog that is preventing them from being in alignment with their true self. Amy is devoted to re-connecting people to their innate divine nature so they can experience more joy, abundance, and love in their lives. She channels divine messages from the Akashic Records and loves teaching her clients how to access them as well. Sacred Awakening: https://theamyrobeson.com/sacred-awakening/ref/147/
