What people are saying
Interior Design
"I was running short of time and steam, and needed help designing the inside of a Historic Oysterman's Cottage, for our new Airbnb project. I had never worked with an interior designer before, so when my husband, who spent his career in theater, suggested we call Amy, I went with the flow, although a bit wary.
Amy was a delight to work with, bringing pragmatism, methods and art to the project. After listening to my thoughts, Amy methodically assessed the space and the elements already available. Everything was pieced together very elegantly, with simple touches. I particularly enjoyed Amy’s professionalism, communication skills and calming, warm and enthusiastic personality. It was a challenging project for me, and Amy made it fun.
My husband and I would definitively hire Amy again and certainly recommend her to anyone who wishes to transform any space and work with a genuinely creative collaborator."
— Nathalie Bonafé PhD, Oncologist and End of Life Doula
Art
"Amy Hannum listens to her inner creative spirit which leads her to take risks with her art conceptually as well as with her unique choice of materials. Her pieces are alive and thoughtful, expressing both her values and view of the world. She is also a gallery director's dream to work with." — Barbara Nair, Gallery Director, Spectrum Gallery, Centerbrook, CT
"...it is rare for an artist to have such a wide repertoire and depth and all of it very good." Hannum is "...a very accomplished, and gifted artist. I am always impressed by artists like [Hannum], who use multiple and diverse media to create their pieces." — Cariappa Annaiah, Artist
Hannum's work is "...striking, original, fresh and profound on so many different levels. " — Eric Evenson, Philosopher
Energy Work
“A Reiki session with Amy gave me back what I was missing from my life. It put me back in touch with myself and what’s really important in life.” H.H. in Connecticut
“I was going through a deep depression, something I didn’t understand. In one session with Amy my entire life changed. During one session with Amy, something was taken out of me that felt like a boulder, like emotional baggage, and it left me feeling transformed, lighter. Over the days and weeks that followed, I was able to see my goals clearly and made the changes needed to be happy again.” B.K. in Vermont
“Over 40 years of sexual trauma melted away during a series of sessions with Amy. I had no idea how much it was affecting me until I let it go. I felt free, lifted, floating.” S.T. in Florida
“The energy work literally shattered my gall stones. I was going in for surgery and didn’t want to, so I booked a session with Amy the week before. There was quite a bit of cramping after the session and the stones passed naturally. So glad I didn’t need surgery!” K.S. in Connecticut
