The one consistent feeling I have with every adjustment I’ve gotten from Amy is the feeling I get afterwards: That all is right with myself and the world. By “all right” I don’t mean flawless; I mean things feel perfect just the way they are. I feel perfect just the way I am. I have been seeing Amy for close to two years now on a regular basis, on average about once a week, and countless positive transformations have happened during this time. As with all true journeys, not all the changes came in that “wow, this is great” kind of package. But I’ve no doubt that I was able to grow and take risks in the level that I have over the years precisely because Amy was releasing patterns and activating inert pockets in my body-mind. It wasn’t long after my first sessions with her that I started feeling currents of energy and strength surging through my body, and later on during a given day (or week) of her adjustment new realizations would just occur to me, and situations would just happen, that would be precisely what I needed to have at that moment of growth. During her sessions I’ve ranged anywhere from bursting into tears, being in a meditative zone, wanting to chat nonstop, remembering forgotten incidents, or daydreaming. But always the feeling that I get afterwards has been a constant. A peacefulness takes place in the core, as though the spirit, or the heart, is finally allowed to just be. Something has taken place that makes creative and energetic expansion so possible to a point that it feels like a given, a natural birthright. Amy need not say in words what her hands always communicate in action: That our bodies are filled with so much good, waiting to be recognized and reintegrated with our consciousness.

Hi Amy,
I hope you and your family and the beautiful Lilly are having a great summer. My trip to San Diego has been an interesting one, and I am looking forward to my time in Buffalo shooting an indie film. But oh, how I miss coming to Flourish!
I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for me, and let you know how much my life has improved since coming to see you.
I have always been a pretty outwardly happy person, and felt like I have sorted and stored all my "baggage." Yet more and more I was feeling a disconnect in my life that I couldn’t explain. It’s like my body was hanging on to things my mind had long since rectified, and little by little it began weighing me down.
Since coming to see you, not only have I made improvements in my sleep, and major improvements in my restless leg problems, but my life has changed in very interesting and surprising ways. Now, instead of just worked hard, I work hard very differently, with an ability to follow through on the smallest details and make stronger decisions faster. Lots of tiny details in my life that never seemed to be the priority suddenly started getting taken care of. And then the more I would get done with such ease, the better I would feel and then the more I would get done. … I leave sessions with you feeling refreshed and renewed, and that my body really is flowing differently. That the energy in my body is less fragmented, and that the unexplainable feeling I have had of being stuck is slowly but surely coming undone.
Thank you for being such a passionate and gifted healer, and for continuing to help me open myself up to live up to my potential.
I’ll see you in September!
Most Sincerely,
Tracey B. Wilson
Amy Burke is a truly gifted healer--I have dealt with lower back pain for over a decade and have some depressing "diagnoses" but Dr. Burke doesn't deal with those limiting realities....Instead, Amy meets the body where it is and gently encourages each of our cells to embrace openness and expansion.
I have noticed growth in several different areas of my life, as Amy's approach has helped me to "unblock" emotions with issues that have been deeply lodged within for years.....As a result of Amy's healing sessions, my back definitely feels more supported and my entire body has also translated her healing messages into a different sense of self.
Amy is so intuitively aware that she is able to instinctively sense my "energy history" and change negative patterns that have been holding my body in painful positions. After just two sessions, I have moved forward with my life in profound ways--spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I trust Amy Burke with my most important health concerns, and am so grateful that this divine healer is in NYC!

"Originally I sought out chiropractic care for alleviation of pain... that was years ago! Amy is …a gifted healer with deep caring for the people she serves, as well as, being clearly intuitively gifted. I have been receiving chiropractic care for over 7 years and most …don't view me holistically or take time to reevaluate me every visit.... I could be any "spine" and, as a result, a lot of healing opportunities got missed! Amy's care incorporates me into the adjustment, allowing the wisdom of my body to continue to align itself...long after I leave the table! "

"For almost two years I had been dealing with chronic hip/joint pain that no doctor could explain. A friend suggested trying chiropractic adjustments with Amy J. Burke, D.C. . The pain has greatly subsided since beginning chiropractic care, plus the resolution of an emotional matter that had weighed heavily on me for a couple years. My mind is calmed and my body freer from pain…[As a result,] I'm allowed the mental and emotional capacity to follow my path more clearly. I liked … that when we first met you used the word "integrity" in explaining your practice. I get the true sense that your intentions for following the career path you are on is to help people find their authentic selves and live life with more meaning and purpose. "

"…I usually feel like not much is happening during the sessions, then I leave and as the day goes on, my body readjusts ITSELF—amazing. One can really feel that one’s body knows what to do and Amy just gave it the go-ahead.
....Some emotional choices became very clear suddenly and I’m definitely automatically smoking less. … (After one adjustment) I felt like I had twice the room behind my ribcage: it felt like my heart had just gotten room to grow, both physically and emotionally. It was strange but felt great. Amy is totally no-nonsense… everything she does makes perfect sense from a purely physical perspective. "

"I feel more an active, integral part of the work, not passive as with other health practitioners. "
