Hi, I’m Amy Kisei

I am a Zen Buddhist Teacher, Spiritual Counselor, Meditation Coach, Astrologer and Artist. In my Spiritual Counseling Practice, I practice at the confluence of spirituality and psychology, integrating mind, body and spirit. Spiritual Counseling can help you:

  • Companion Grief + Loss

  • Clarify Life Purpose

  • Healing Relational Conflict + Inner Conflict

  • Work with Shadow Material

  • Heal your relationship with Eating, Food or Body Image

  • Spiritual Emergence

  • Integrate Psychedelic or Mystical Experiences

  • Move Through Creative Blocks, Career Impasses and Burnout

I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dream Work, Hakomi (Somatic Therapy) and Mindful Eating. In addition to working 1:1 with people in Spiritual Counseling, I provide 1:1 Meditation Coaching.

I also lead a weekly online Zen Meditation group and facilitate an online monthly dream group called DreamSky, both are open to anyone who would like to join.

I currently live in Columbus, Ohio with my partner, we facilitate an in-person meditation gathering every Wednesday from 7P - 8:30P at ILLIO in Clintonville through Mud Lotus Sangha.

  • Spiritual Counseling

    My approach to spiritual counseling involves deep listening, mindful-presence and compassionate inquiry.

    I use Internal Family Systems and Somatic Mindfulness Therapy (Hakomi) to help you access and transform unconscious or semi-conscious habits and beliefs.

A Flower Opening in the World

Reflections on Living an Awakened Life

Monastic life taught me how to be no one and everything. Slipping below surface chatter and the push & pull of trying to make conditioned reality somehow “fit” what I wanted in a given moment—to the spacious acceptance of life as it is. Who am I but part of the humming of the universe? The spacious array of the night sky? The spring flowers blooming? The smell of rain?

When we let-go of trying to fix reality into some temporary vision of what would make us happy in a given moment—we are blessed with a kind of rest and thanksgiving. We taste the immaculate OK-ness of life unfolding and the freedom of not needing to fix ourselves or anyone, not needing to fix the world in order to be happy, because basic happiness is never apart from us.
