Hi! I’m Amy Pattee Colvin.
Unshakable optimist. Lifelong learner. Guide for the capable, successful, and resilient.
I’m so glad you found this page.
I’ve always loved helping people. Throughout my life, my favorite jobs were service-oriented. Yet, experience has taught me a hard lesson: Sometimes, the desire to help others gets in the way of taking care of ourselves.
I created this business to change that equation.
My work is built on a foundation of open-heartedness and a deep belief that we all have the capacity to cultivate peace of mind, vitality, and resilience.
Is it easy? No. Can it be done? Absolutely.
Integrating Wisdom and Science
I have spent my life exploring the intersection where doing meets being.
Since childhood, I’ve been intrigued by the invisible threads that connect us. I watched my dad use hypnosis and creative imagery to help me heal from childhood scrapes, which sparked a lifelong fascination with the mind-body connection.
As an adult, I realized that true regulation requires both wisdom passed down for thousands of years and modern understanding.
My path has woven together three distinct threads:
1. Wisdom Passed Down Through Generations: For nearly 30 years, I have studied under Leong Tan. At my very first Sum Faht® workshop, I felt like I was home. This Taoist path taught me that we don’t force energy; we cultivate it.
2. The Corporate Reality: I know what high-pressure environments feel like. In 2011, I began teaching meditation classes at the Google offices in Washington state, streaming to 16 cities around the world. I saw firsthand how even the most brilliant minds need tools to disconnect and reset.
3. The Science of Compassion I wanted to better understand why these practices worked and how to articulate them to a Western mind. In 2013, I trained at Stanford University’s CCARE (Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education) to become a certified teacher of Compassion Cultivation Training.
Today, I blend these worlds into my BodyMind IntelliSense Transformation System—helping you integrate your intellect and body with your intuition.
I don’t have all the answers.
Yep, this is a business, and sure enough, I sell things. However, I’m grateful and humbled to earn a living doing so.
But here is my promise to you: I will show up as I am.
I make mistakes. I get bogged down in self-doubt and fear, just like all humans do. You might find a typo here or there on this website, or a formatting quirk that isn’t perfect.
I don’t pretend to be an enlightened master on a mountaintop. I am walking this path right beside you.
What I can promise is to offer you the best of what I’m learning about harmonizing body, mind, and spirit. I promise to offer thought-provoking ideas and unwavering support while challenging you to live your most vibrant life.
