Amy Gillespie Dougherty is a results-driven innovator, speaker, and bestselling author with more than thirty years' experience creating impactful self-discovery, awareness, and life coaching programs. As a 38-year-old woman who had never traveled abroad or even learned a foreign language, she beat the odds in Mozambique, Africa, where she started a nonprofit with $150 and the idea that all children deserve the right to keep themselves and their siblings alive. Over six years, she became a finalist for CNN Heroes and received accolades from embassies and aid organizations.Her pre-African corporate experience in systems performance and disaster relief, proved invaluable in creating survival skills programs for children and disadvantaged families in third world countries.Thriving as a trailblazer, Amy created Irigenics(R) Ancestral Eye Reading as a survival skills program for teens and young adults in an effort to reduce self-destructive behaviors and suicide patterns. Amy believes in the power of the ancestral pulse within each of us, and our ability to reach the best of our best. She emphasizes this connection to our gifts and our origin in her new series, "The Ancestors Within." The first book (Reveal and Heal the Ancient Memories You Carry) places emphasis on the repeat patterns that show up in your life and how they have ancestral ties, which can be resolved. Her second book in the series (Discover and Connect with Your Ancient Origins) focuses on unique ways to connect with your ancestors, and even to create interactive experiences with them. Her latest volume 3 (Recognize and Embrace the Gifts of Your Origins) invites you to explore the gifts you hold within you and develop and teach others your unique inherent skills. With one goal in mind, to create new programs and systems that guide young adults to an earlier sense of life purpose, and to step into what they were born to become, she has helped thousands of people understand the rest of their story by interpreting their ancestral and epigenetic patterns.Working with social workers and holistic practitioners, she teaches them this innovative self-discovery approach to uncover the true gifts and talents of their clients. Amy is currently working on a project involving epigenetics and iris imprints with teens and young adults to reveal their greatest talents, gifts, and genetic belief systems. She has an affinity for those who are adopted or in situations where they feel they can't ever know their ancestors and origin. She helps teenagers and young adults choose an early life purpose and vision for their future.You can learn more by joining her Facebook Group (The Ancestors Within Community) https: //www.facebook.com/groups/ancestorswithinhttps: //amygillespie.comhttps: //illuminationStation.org See less
