Amelia’s true passion is assisting animal rescue organizations in Africa who create safe havens for relocated tigers, lions, White Lions, elephants, cheetah, Great White Sharks, penguins, baboons, and even bats and snakes. Amelia also trouble-shoots problems in sanctuaries all over the world that rescue tigers, gorillas, bears, lions, Asian elephants, birds of prey, and countless breeds of exotic animals. She enjoys helping charities worldwide with their fund-raising. In 2002, she was honored to accept invitations to Buckingham Palace to work with the household cavalry of Queen Elizabeth II and to “whisper” with the hunting horses of Prince Charles. In 2013, she flew to Germany to help the Olympic show horses prepare for the Olympics in London.
But her passion extends to human children as well. She leads her annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Zambia every October where she can take animal lovers not only out to meet wild lions, leopards, giraffes, and countless elephants, and work with a charity that rescues baby lions and elephants who have been caught in barbed wire snares, Amelia also guides her students through a parish where they can help build kindergartens for African children. Amelia enjoys stocking the libraries of African primary schools with beautiful books and she donates her time teaching dance classes in parishes where one in two natives is HIV positive and one in three of the African children are destined to die of AIDs.

She will be giving a few private readings in person in the countries where she lectures including Switzerland, Germany, England, Norway, South Africa, America, The Isle of Man, and Canada. Amelia is not finding lost animals at this time, but she is making space in her schedule to give private readings, private lessons, one-on-one spiritual coaching sessions, and Science of Mind "treatments" for your sick animals where she will teach you how to pray for your pet. In person, she will also be able to perform hand-on healing for your animals and if need be, help you usher them through the Gates of Heaven with grace, ease, and dignity. She can speak to angel-animals who are on the Other Side and help relieve any feelings of guilt as well as assist you with your grieving process.

Amelia Kinkade was born in Ft. Worth, Texas on New Year's Eve, 1968. She is of Cherokee and Irish descent, but she is a card-carrying Choctaw Indian, and the latest research indicates she may also have descended from a wild clan of Portuguese pirates. Her first passion was classical piano, but she shifted her attention to ballet when she started training to be a professional dancer at the age of 11. She was not born clairvoyant with animals. Although she adored animals her entire life, she didn't develop her gift until her mid-twenties. Because she learned this amazing ability from scratch, she has been able to create a system of teaching telepathic communication to her students all over the world.
Only a few months after discovering her telepathic ability in an animal communication workshop, Amelia went to a Hollywood party, given by a television director. Amelia sneaked away from the party (which was a séance with the not-yet-famous James Van Praagh) to have a chat with the man's two gorgeous Golden Retrievers and test out her newfound abilities; Amelia kept the conversation to herself, but news travels fast in Tinsel Town. A few weeks later came an urgent call from the director. One of the dogs, had scratched most of the skin off the left side of her chin. Their vet could find no cause for the obsessive scratching. Amelia successfully diagnosed the problem when she told the director that the irritating factors were two-fold: She "saw" new cream-colored wall-to-wall carpeting in the man's home that was causing an allergic reaction in the dog and she "felt" that the dog-owner's roommate had just had a painful dental surgery on the same side of his mouth where the dog was scratching. When both situations were confirmed, Amelia was stunned. The precious dog was experiencing both physical and emotionally sympathetic causes for her painful condition. The implications were staggering.
A week later came another call. The director's roommate had just taken a job on The Mo Show, Mo Gaffney's talk show, and would Amelia appear as a celebrity guest? That began a string of media appearances that prepared her for her new career as an international speaker. After the publication of Straight From the Horse's Mouth in 2001, Amelia scheduled her first world tour and now lectures in at least 30 cities (about 12 countries) annually.
Amelia has a word with KING JINX! When Amelia is not writing and teaching workshops in animal communication, she relishes her time behind the brush--the watercolor brush. She writes and illustrates whimsical children's books, with pen and ink drawings and watercolor paintings. Amelia just released THE WINGED ONE, which is now available on Amazon! This is her first children's novel and the first time her artwork has become available to the public! She studied life drawing, figure construction, anatomy, perspective drawing,and quick sketch at the American Animation Academy under the watchful eye of the legendary Karl Gnass, one of the world's most revered art teachers. (Look for The Winged One, her first illustrated children's novel available on Amazon in March of 2013, and meet King Jinx, the big bad king of the Electrolynx.)
When she isn't drawing, she's dancing.
Before discovering her psychic ability, Amelia graduated from the world-renowned Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan with a major in modern dance. Her training included years of study with the New Orleans Ballet, Martha Graham training with Ko Yukihiro, and a scholarship to Gus Giordano's in Chicago.
In Los Angeles, she enjoyed a dazzling career as a professional jazz dancer and choreographer. As a lead dancer, she performed with Smoky Robinson, Ray Charles, The Four Tops, and a multitude of Motown Stars in the TV series, The Motown Review. She was a featured dancer in the films, Breakin' 2, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Body Rock, and Fast Forward, among others. Amelia toured with Donna Summer and starred in a multitude of rock videos including The Stray Cats, Cher, The Scorpions, Yarborough and Peoples, and Sheena Easton. Amelia also starred in a series of unforgettable horror movies that have garnered such a cult following, she signs autographs at Sci-fi movie conventions where fans greet her with tattoos of her on their chests.
She has taught and trained professional dancers all over Los Angeles. Her new passion is Salsa dancing and she enjoys her status as a competitive ballroom dancer. She can be caught kicking up her glittery heels in Salsa clubs from Manhattan to Dublin, Ireland.
Amelia attests that all left-brain artistic and athletic activities aid psychic communication, by patterning brain waves to observe and log visual and tactile information in the absence of language. She believes that both drawing and dancing are powerful forms of skill-building nonverbal communication that help develop and fine-tune intuition.
When she isn't dancing, she's flying!
Amelia studied to be a practitioner of Religious Science under the wing of the magnificent Reverend
Tom Johnson, author and master teacher in the Science of Mind. Also well-versed in Wicca and mythology, Amelia brings a refreshing reverence for the Goddess to her healing ministry. Kinkade says:
"God can only do for us what God does through us. People ask me if I pray every day. No, I pray every moment. My every breath is a prayer."
And pray she should. For fun, she gets her kicks through death-defying extreme sports. In 2011, she did the world's highest bungee jump. In 2012, she learned to white water kayak and she white water rafting the Zambezi (with 24 class 3-5 rapids.) In between her quality time spent playing with Great White sharks, Siberian tiger cubs and black mamba, she learned to paraglide so that she could release rescued birds from a paraglider. In 2012, Amelia went paragliding in the Alps and divebombed herds of Alpine goats who were very surprised to see her. Amelia is always looking for something exciting to rock her world...and new ways for her to rock your world.
