Luminous Life Maps Certified Guides have gone through a minimum of two years of experience and learning before they are initiated into facilitating this work. Their growth, change and mastery comes from moving through their own ‘stuff’ to find the treasure within. They have learned to listen to their body, quiet their mind chatter, feel their emotions and connect with their spirit while they wait to follow the call of their Soul. They practice finding their feet while ‘not knowing’ and following their body wisdom as a primary guide. Each brings their own unique way to the work and offer it within their scope of practice.

Amanda B. McPeck, MA, JD, Certified Luminous Life Maps Guide
Instead of trying to feel better, why not simply let yourself feel?
Spirit has taught me the most effective medicine is that which we grow ourselves. At first I thought this teaching was just about growing herbal remedies. Over time I’ve learned my medicine garden includes the inner garden of my heart/body/mind. The Luminous Life Maps system and community has supported me in growing my own medicine–healing old grief, wounds, and traumas, and resourcing my continued growth into more life-giving, life-sustaining patterns. As a Guide, I support and nurture sacred space-making, where we can access our own wisdom and grow our own medicine.

Diane Simons, Certified Luminous Life Maps Guide. Dance has been a part of Diane Simons’s life almost from the beginning. This native Utahan started dancing at the age of 5 and took modern and ballet classes as a young teen. Although she stopped taking formal classes, she never lost her love of dance. Her love of dancing was rekindled in 2010 when Diane discovered ecstatic dancing followed quickly by dance churches, 5 Rhythms and ultimately working with Shannon Simonelli’s Luminous Life Maps. Diane is currently working on developing a body-based movement journey designed to empower everyone to achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations based on the transformative power of dance, deep personal reflection and art. She is excited to be a certified guide with Luminous Life maps and looks forward to “sharing the work.” ds.dsimons@gmail.com
