Amy Ligani lives in Carlsbad CA with her husband and two daughters Asena 12 and Sylvia 9. She was born in Northwest Montana, and raised close to a rocky mountain lake, cherry trees, and basic herbal medicine. Her emphasis in acupuncture is Hormonal Balancing: Thyroid, Fertility, and Autoimmune.
As a major in Pre Med at Seattle Pacific University, she studied her life passion to become a doctor one day. After time with the medical studies, she realized that western medicine was missing some vital elements in health. Frustrated by the medical model, she took a break and joined the US Peace Corp Fiji 1996. In Fiji she worked in Fisheries and Nutrition, and while working in remote villages, found Fijian Herbs and Healings. After Peace Corp, she traveled the eastern world, where she found her spiritual self, and eventually landed on the shores of Encinitas, a town that allowed her the lifestyle she envisioned as a healer: Yoga, Meditation, Surfing and Ocean, fresh organic food, and small conscious community.
