About
Amelia
Amelia
Kinkade
was
born
in
Ft.
Worth,
Texas
on
New
Year's
Eve,
1973.
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
12.
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.
Amelia
lives
in
Los
Angeles
and
shares
her
heart
and
her
home
with
a
17-year-old
tuxedo
cat
named
Aunt
Flo,
who
functions
as
her
room-mate,
role
model,
boss,
therapist,
editor,
pillow,
and
alarm
clock.
How
it
began
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
11
countries)
annually.
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.
She
studies
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.
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
at
Oklahoma
University,
and
a
scholarship
to
Gus
Giordano's
in
Chicago.
In
Los
Angeles,
she
enjoyed
a
rewarding
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,
Roadhouse,
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.
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
heels
in
Salsa
clubs
from
East
LA
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
in
church.
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.
Not
until
the
Divine
Goddess
Mother
Nature
is
once
again
honored
and
protected
will
human
hearts
be
light
and
animals
be
free
from
suffering.
People
ask
me
if
I
pray
every
day.
No,
I
pray
every
moment.
