"It is with great pleasure that I write to share my experience of Amy Rune Carlson’s character and quality of work. Both are simply stellar. Exquisitely present and intuitive, while also highly trained in a variety of bodywork modalities, Amy’s work has resulted in real, palpable healing for me on a variety of levels. I first came to her out of necessity - in both physical and emotional acute pain. I am a professional dancer, choreographer, and yoga teacher, and last winter was in the throes of creating and performing in an evening-length duet performance. The challenges of creative process were so great that I knew I needed support.
Amy’s work quite literally saved me. I needed deep physical work (I hate superficial bodywork, and was elated to feel her actually meet my needs in terms of depth) and strong emotional support. Amy showed up on all fronts. It’s hard to describe how grateful I am to her for her wholehearted care of body, mind, and soul.
I saw her for multiple sessions throughout the creative and performance process, and can assert with full con%dence that she is a woman of great integrity and skill, able to adapt & fluidly to my needs in any given state. An artist herself, she senses deeply and utilizes embodied wisdom to improvise and create optimal healing.”

“Massage with Amy Rune-Carlson has been a major teacher for me in the past year. I want to commend and recommend her in all ways for all people with the fortune of experiencing her gi$s.When I %rst received bodywork from Amy, I recall feeling so much energy release from stores of tension in my body, I wondered if it was anything like near death experiences where ones’ past is recounted in the arms of a benevolent guide whose grace allows you to abandon the fears of facing your truth.
I have been a dancer for as long as I can remember and had a ten-year career within the demanding realm of contemporary ballet compa- nies. I received all sorts of bodywork in that time and none had been so eective as Amy’s. I felt that she always met me where I was and with what readiness I had at any moment to “go deep” or not. By “go deep” I mean into the realm of spiritual healing, which I believe Amy to be very eective in. She has an ineable motherly quality of love and has willingly traveled the journey of energy shi$ing with me on numerous occasions allowing me deep ascension of spirit and ease of body and mind. She reminds me of the presence of simultaneous interconnection and the personal relationship to Source. She can hold space while rooted in a strong and resourced place like few others. I am so grateful for her generosity, power and clarity!
Most recently, Amy intuited – from her deep anatomical knowledge both of the human physical form and of the chakra and meridian sys- tems – a key point on my le$ knee (which was reconstructed from a dance injury over a decade ago with invasive surgery leaving it stuck with scar tissue and an experience of isolation and stuckness). As she worked through the energetic “knot” it opened the whole line of my leg. A spacious &ow of life charged up through my pelvis and created enormous and joyful release in my sacrum – which had also been locked up. I felt elated and light, like an alien, %nally returning to my home planet with the sparkling awareness of an eternal spring.
Amy is also a therapeutic communicator and is skilled in delivering her many-layered wisdom with her words. I feel fearless in her presence and trust that whatever honest re&ection she might oer will serve my self and others on a higher plane, and that if I meet her consciously also, prepared to be vulnerable in transformation in ever evolving harmony and health, it will be ever more so.
