About Annmarie

Annmarie Early, Ph.D. is an intuitive practitioner who integrates over 25 years of professional experience and training into her work.
Annmarie practiced as a psychotherapist for 25 years with specialties in trauma and couples therapy. She was a trainer and a professor for 15 years and her desire to more effectively help her clients and students—as well as a deep desire to allow her to more intentionally live from her soul—led her to study natural healing processes using energy pathways and subtle awareness.
Annmarie is certified in Integrative Energetic Medicine—a modality that uses subtle attunement and the human energy anatomy to increase balance and flow in all areas of life—body, mind, and spirit and she is a Reiki practitioner. She uses energy practices in her Awakening Energy Sessions and she weaves her clinical expertise with intuitive, energetic principles in her Professional Consultation Sessions.
Annmarie is committed to soulful growth in her work and in her own life. Her desire is to help others live into their larger life calling by developing inner awareness and learning to listen to the voice of their soul. As client's and practitioners develop their ability to listen in the unseen spaces, they are better able to engage the challenges and questions presented by life and to align their life with their larger life purpose—to live life awake in everything.
Annmarie is available for Awakening Energy Sessions, Professional Consultation, Energetic Herbalism Intakes, Speaking engagements, and Training. She co-facilitates Awakening retreats, free sacred circles and classes as well as the 5 month My, Our and The Awakening Masterclasses through Common Awakening.
She is a contributor to the Common Awakening platform with downloadable content on alignment, expanding awareness, and living awake in all areas of life. She co-facilitates free webinar Sacred Circles and introductory sessions on how to use guidance in your life and work.

A Bit of My Story...
As far back as I can remember, I have been interested in larger life questions: Why am I here? What is my life's purpose? As a child, I paid close attention to my dreams and questioned life events. Believing that God still spoke, the words of the Bible that I read in my room fascinated me. I just needed to learn how to listen.
Through a circuitous path that unfolded before me, childhood experiences led me to psychology as the major best suited for my professional development. During that time, I also experienced a powerful conversion experience where I heard god speak and began to trust that the world really was enchanted—there was more to life than going through the motions of living and dying.
Challenging post-college jobs in the mental health field convinced me that I needed to pursue more training. I found myself in Los Angeles obtaining a master's and doctoral degree in marriage and family therapy. I began a 10 year clinical practice where my clients taught me how to listen and walk with enormous pain and to believe into amazing transformative potential.
I became well versed in trauma treatments, couples therapy, and in-depth individual companioning. Drawn by its attention to the embodied and experiential, I moved into attachment theory and attuned myself to the dynamics of couples beyond the spoken work. Through that work as a therapist, supervisor, and trainer, I became convinced of the power of the non-verbal implicit space of the intuitive that is now becoming more validated by neuroscience. During that season I was a professor of counseling training future professionals in how to access and work from this space. I found myself as the one that folks came to for insight and waymaking as I held certifications and specialties that allowed me to speak, train, and consult a variety of lay and professional audiences.
What I knew in my heart, however, is that there had to be more that I could offer to my clients and students. I held a deep belief that transformation was possible, not just symptom reduction. I felt called to listen to life in a different way and I sought guidance outside of the psychologies to access natural healing potentials.
I was on my sabbatical from my teaching position when I enrolled in a training outside of my profession called Integrative Energetic Medicine. My subtle energy training transformed my world, personally and professionally. I enriched and deepened what I knew—most essentially—to be true and it allowed me to learn to trust from a new place and in a 'whole' new way. It challenged me in ways that I cannot begin to express, but the result was a re-orientation of my work and my world. I accessed an innate wisdom that is available to us all and I learned to use energy pathways and subtle attunement to facilitate healing in my own life and in my work with others.
I now call myself an intuitive practitioner, honoring my clinical training and my ability to use intuition and subtle awareness in my applied work. My life has simplified to the bare essentials as I more fully inhabit the alive space within and around me. I am in my last year of training as an herbalist at Sacred Plant Traditions. Learning the energetics of plants has allowed me to listen even more deeply to the subtle, unseen spaces around me and to join in sacred collaboration with the natural world. My days are filled with writing, reflecting, tending medicinal plants, leading trainings, classes, and retreats, and offering limited Awakening Energy Sessions and professional consultation. My collaboration with Common Awakening is a tangible way to offer waymaking guidance to others on the journey of awakening.
If we work together in some way, my desire is to listen deeply into how your soul is leading you and to to help you develop these skills for yourself in your life. You have the ability to listen from within your soul and learn to track these processes in your life and work. Together, we will listen to how life is leading you in order for you to answer your deeper soul call and walk in this world awake to the life you are most called to live.
