"I was introduced to Amy Pancake by my massage therapist. As a 56 year old retired business man, I had never done any yoga or movement therapy before. For the last, almost, a decade Amy has helped me work through both physical and emotional issues though yoga and Continuum movement. I was reluctant at first, especially with the movement therapy, but over time, I really began to appreciate what it was doing for me. I was sleeping better and generally felt more energized.
Amy is one of the most refreshing people in both body and spirit that I have ever met. I could set a watch to her promptness. She was always upbeat and encouraging. If I could identify an issue I was have she could either solve it then or come back the next week with a solution. She would also stay in touch with my personal trainer to coordinate the best path for my overall physical well being.
Amy has a truly unique skill set and I endorse her practice 100%."

"Looking back on the year 2020, the brightest silver lining for our family was getting to work with Amy. Our six-year-old son had been displaying a lot of behavioral issues, including refusing to participate in P.E. because it was too overwhelming. Amy used gentle yet focused movement therapy techniques to meet him where he was and improve his proprioception and coordination. She got him participating in yoga and balance exercises. Now, in first grade, he is actually DANCING. She has changed the trajectory of his life."
