About Rise Flow Rest

Hi, I’m Amy — the heart and soul behind Rise Flow Rest, a space where my love for movement, writing, self-discovery and creativity converge. These are the rituals that make up my life. This is a rhythm I have worked on building post-addiction and in recovery. This platform is a reflection of my personal journey, and I’m so glad you’re here.

The Essence of Rise Flow Rest

The name Rise Flow Rest is a mantra that guides my life and work:

Rise

Early mornings are sacred to me. Whether it’s yoga at sunrise, a quiet walk through nature, or simply writing with my coffee—this is when I feel most alive. How I start my day influences my energy and the entire rest of the day, always.

Flow

Life moves in waves, and I’ve learned to honor all of mine: the highs, the stillness, and the storms. Practicing yoga and other types of movement really get me in a flow state where I am present and embodied. This is also where jewelry making comes in. My love for jewelry began at 15 when I got my first job at a local bead store. I’d roller-blade to the quaint shop near my parents’ house, completely immersed in beads and designs. That early creative spark never left, and today, jewelry making is one of my most cherished outlets. Every piece I create is filled with intention and meaning, and I’m honored to share them with you.

Rest

Rest hasn’t always come naturally, but I’ve come to know it as essential. These days, rest looks like long walks, baths, meditation, or just letting go of the “shoulds.” I have come to understand how essential rest is in order to stay consistent with my goals and ambitions. I used to chase perfection and have super productive days only to burn out because I was doing too much. I would then have to find the energy to begin again, and I would end up in the same cycle, always trying to “get back on track”. When I let ‘rest’ in, it became so much easier to find balance.

Writing + Recovery

Writing is how I make sense of the world. It’s how I reflect, process, and connect more deeply—with myself and with others.

In my journey through recovery, I found immense healing in the stories of those who had walked this path before me. Their words helped me navigate bulimia, alcohol, and other addictions. My most recent battle was with weed, and it was one of the hardest to overcome. I have a post about this on my Substack if you'd like to read the full story:

When it came to weed, there weren’t many voices sharing openly about their struggle—so I felt alone. I searched for podcasts, books, Instagram pages, etc. There were very few, and a good handful of unfinished or left behind pages (likely due to falling back into addiction).

That’s why it’s become part of my purpose: to tell the truth about what I’ve lived through, in hopes that someone else might find the freedom they’re looking for in the reflection of my own.

What I’m Passionate About

These are the things that light me up:

• Mindfulness + Movement
  Movement is my medicine and walking shifts my mindset every time.

• Honest, Vulnerable Conversation
  I crave depth and truth in the connections I make.

• Human Design
  I’m endlessly fascinated by the wisdom of our unique energetic blueprints—and I’m excited to begin weaving this into my offerings.

• Nature + Simple Joys
  Morning hikes, trail walks, and a really good cup of coffee? Yes, please.
  

Where I Am Now

Learning to live more slowly. Letting creativity be mine again. Creating when it feels good—and resting when it doesn’t. Trusting that becoming is more important than branding. I have worked really hard to transform my life, and now I have the space to help you do the same. This is less about me “helping” you and more about me seeing you, hearing you and walking alongside you while you find yourself again. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Who I Work With

Rise Flow Rest was created for women navigating the in-between — that messy middle space where you’ve made a big change, but you’re still finding your rhythm again.

Maybe you’ve left behind an old identity (sobriety, a job, a relationship, old habits) and now you’re asking what comes next?

You’re not starting from scratch. You’re rebuilding, and that’s exactly where I meet you.

I work one-on-one with women who are ready to create rhythm, rituals, and a version of life that actually feels good. Together, we’ll focus on structure that supports you, softness that sustains you, and self-trust that sticks.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.
