Meet Coach Amy

The Inner Soul Coach, Amy Parrott

Amy has been under Danielle’s mentorship since September 2022. With formal training in Integrative Psychotherapy and a background in the healing arts, Amy possessed a strong foundation in emotional and psychological work. However, despite her knowledge, she found herself trapped in chronic dysregulation — struggling with dissociation, trauma response patterns, dysfunctional behaviours that shaped her life, and deep grief following multiple personal losses.

In September 2022, Amy discovered Firefly Somatics™ through Instagram and immediately felt a profound resonance with Danielle’s work. After a comprehensive consultation, she made the powerful decision to enrol in Danielle’s 12 Month Psychosomatic Healing Programme. This marked a pivotal turning point — for the first time in her life, Amy truly began to meet herself. The years of searching were over. She started to understand the subconscious beliefs driving her patterns, to heal her inner child wounds, and to recognise how her nervous system had been shaped by past trauma.

Having completed this transformational neuroplasticity journey, Amy has since transitioned into her role as an official Firefly Somatics™ Coach, continuing under Danielle’s training and mentorship. She has assisted Danielle at numerous Somatic Workshops in Dublin and began taking on 1:1 Firefly clients in February 2024.

“I am Amy, The Inner Soul Coach, with Firefly Somatics™. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist trained in Counselling, Trauma Informed practice, Somatic techniques and Nervous System Regulation. I have also completed Transpersonal Therapist Training. The approach I follow lies within the foundations of The Firefly Method®, using a blend of psycho, somatic and spiritual, bringing together and integrating the mind, body and soul. In my own experience of self healing. I believe that true healing lies in somatic practice by bringing back body awareness through nervous system healing as well as integrating parts of the soul that have been lost due to trauma, chronic stress, and the pressures of modern life.

To give you an insight to my own story, I grew up with a father who was an alcoholic, although there was a lot of love in my family but there was also a lot of pain. This sent confusing messages to me as a young girl that life was not predictable, that I must always be on edge looking for threats and that the world wasn’t safe. When I was 7 years old my sister was born, a lovely bright joyful little girl who brought so much laughter to our lives. Special, talented and kind beyond belief we had a very close bond. I have fond memories of us singing in the car and laughing until tears fell from our eyes. In 2013 my sister was diagnosed with cancer, and it was almost as if the world stopped. 6 months later, like a whirlwind, my sister passed away one week after her 11th birthday, I was 17 at the time. For many years I was almost frozen in time and stuck in disbelief. Holding onto the magnitude of pain from this loss for a long time, in a way this pain almost kept me connected to her.

After this loss my Father was in a bad place and we lost touch due to his drinking, he passed away in December 2019. This type of grief was a little different to losing my sister. Seeing my dad in so much pain and having trauma of his own, I suddenly didn’t have to worry about his well-being anymore or be constantly on edge. Nevertheless, it was loss that I had to navigate and pain and grief to process. We had a good relationship when he wasn’t drinking and we always connected through music. Today I still feel deeply connected to him through playing his favourite songs. 

Having done years of talk therapy I found true healing in somatic practices when I embarked on my own personal journey with Firefly. Talking only led me so far, I needed to scream, I needed catharsis through shaking, crying, movement. And I also needed to heal out of the stress response of fight/flight. I believe having a safe container to do so is paramount in working through these issues.

Navigating this type of huge loss at such a young age brought about a magnitude of challenges but it has also led me on an incredible journey. A journey of integrating my pain, making sense of the losses, grief and learning a lot about myself. My mother and I are very close and helped and supported each other along the way.

I believe my lived experiences have led me towards the path of guiding others, supporting them through their pain and helping them on a path of true healing and transformation.

A snippet of Amy’s Psychosomatic Healing journey

Thanks to Danielle and the wisdom she has taught me on an embodied level, I am now in a space where I can say that my story is one of triumph, one of overcoming, becoming, becoming who I am and always was before the years of external conditioning and pain…..

And my goal is to help guide you to do the same.”
