Amy DiSanto

Amy DiSanto is a guided meditative rest facilitator, mindfulness educator, and former public school educator with more than 21 years of experience supporting children, families, and learners across the lifespan. Her work with rest has naturally grown from nearly three decades in education and from her own ongoing exploration of what it means to slow down, listen inward, and come home to ourselves. Amy is a Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) facilitator, Yoga Nidra guide trained in the Amrit method, and Advanced Children's Mindfulness and Yoga Teacher through Deep Play for Kids. She also draws from mindfulness, Qigong, Reiki, sensory awareness, movement, imagination, and play. At the heart of Amy's work is a simple invitation: **Rest begins with permission.** Permission to pause. Permission to feel. Permission to listen. Permission to change direction. Permission to be exactly where we are. Rather than asking us to perform, achieve, or become someone else first, Amy creates welcoming experiences that invite curiosity, choice, self-awareness, and a deeper friendship with ourselves. Her guided practices support children and adults in exploring rest, presence, body awareness, imagination, and inner listening, with space for each person to discover what feels supportive for them. Amy believes rest isn't something we have to earn. It's part of being human.
