About Amy Miranda

Amy is an author, executive producer, activist and healing practitioner.

Amy has been working in the creative & technology industry for two decades as an Globally awarded executive producer (including 7 Cannes Lions) and writer. She began her career in the early days of digital working in interactive media at CNN.com and Alliance Atlantis’ U8TV. She moved into advertising working in management for agencies like TAXI and Grip on brands like Molson, Nike, Telus, MINI, WestJet, Amp’d Mobile, Honda and Labatt. In 2009 she founded the creative collective Lunch. As she believes creating things – should be as easy as ordering lunch. She brought to market the first creative collective of it’s kind which included established international creators from Jason Zada to WeFail, Nathan Jurevicius, Zeitguised, to Ryan Matthew Cohn, Alex McLeod and Ji Lee.

So how did she become a healing practitioner? At Lunch she’d been making amazing things for brands like Paramount Pictures, Red Bull and Nickelodeon and for creators like Pee-wee Herman, Vernon Wells, and Kid Koala. Things should have been perfect, but the traumas of her life were catching up. Something just didn’t feel right. She had lost her spark.

Amy crossed paths with Daniel Leonard (Medicine Circle) and began her own healing journey. She was called to train in 2015 in Shamanic Healing. Was initiated as a Shamanic practitioner in 2016 and in 2017 founded her practice focusing on survivors of trauma and creatives (often the same thing). Amy also has experience working with those on the spectrum, people living with long term or chronic illness, as well as children. Amy enjoys working with differently abled people and finds purpose in being a steward of children. Amy is of Scottish, French, Puerto Rican (Taino) and Filipino descent and brings all of these modalities into her practice.

In naming her trauma of CSA and seeking justice, Amy was able to bring her Spiritual practice and her creative practice together with her heartbreaking and hilarious book, oracle deck and audiobook – What We’ve Forgotten (2023, 2024, 2025) based on her “life changing” retreat format . She has now extended the invitation for others to remember their authentic power and sense of wonder and encourages her community to “find the others”. Sandra Ingerman has called her ” a leader for these times” and Public Enemy’s Chuck D calls her “relentless” in her ability to overcome and bring change.

Amy’s experience in the arts, community organizing and activism is part of her origin story. She was previously on the corporate advisory board of Luminato Festival, on the board of ArtsCan Circle, and has consulted for non-profits from Storybook Primate Sanctuary, to The Gatehouse. She was on the organizing committee for Women March on Toronto (Women’s March), was an organizer of Families Belong Together at the US Consulate in Toronto and her volunteer work focuses on causes centered around reparations, collective liberation and working with children.

Amy is gifted at not only helping to bring your ideas to life, but helping to bring life back into you – whether in ceremony or creative practice she looks forward to connecting with you and reminding you of what you may have forgotten.
