Amy DiSanto

Amy DiSanto is the founder of Lotus Mind Learning LLC and creator of Nidra Babes, a collection of rest practices for children and adults. Her work has naturally unfolded from nearly three decades of supporting learners from early childhood through the university years, including more than 21 years as a public school educator. Amy is a Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) facilitator, Yoga Nidra guide trained in the Amrit method, mindfulness educator, and Deep Play for Kids Advanced Children's Mindfulness and Yoga Teacher. She has contributed to collaborative conversations and initiatives supporting mental health, well-being, and rest with children, educators, college students, and workplace communities, including the Mental Health on College Campuses National Conference. At the heart of Amy’s work is a simple invitation: rest begins with permission. Rooted in trauma-informed, choice-based, and consent-informed practices, she invites people to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with themselves without needing to perform, achieve, or become anything else first. Drawing from NSDR, Yoga Nidra, mindfulness, Qigong, Reiki, sensory awareness, movement, imagination, and play, Amy creates welcoming experiences that honor each person’s unique path toward rest, presence, and connection.
