Mrs. Amy Sandmann: administrative assistant, cross-stitcher, and energy conduit. In this context, a conduit is considered a channel for conveying a power beyond one’s own. 

At first glance, Sandmann appears to be just the smiling face students pass en route to their counselor meetings. Little do they know, she is an established energy conduit and a certified healing touch practitioner. She handles everything from overly energetic pups to anxious people or pets. 

“I [learned that I had this talent] about 10 years ago. [It is] just energy in my hands. [Back then I] talked with some people and started taking some courses, learning how to work with universal energy,” Sandmann said. 

Biology teacher Mrs. Snider, a verified success story of Sandmann’s practice, told Raptor Reporters that her recently adopted poodle puppy, CoCo, struggled to get along with daughter Gabby. Having heard of Sandmann’s intriguing talent, she brought in her pup on Friday, March 7th in hopes of helping CoCo tolerate Gabby a bit more. 

“CoCo sat there and [Mrs. Sandmann] was just talking to her [saying things like,] ‘Remember, Gabby’s a part of your pack.’ [She reminded CoCo to] be nice to Gabby, and was just talking to her about it,” Snider said. 

Although at first this may seem unorthodox, Sandmann truly bridges the gap between people and animals. Her communication with CoCo has resulted in a remarkable change for the Snider family. 

“In the past couple of days, CoCo has now started licking my daughter in the face, which has never happened before, which is weird… during bedtime routine CoCo will jump in the bed with us… I definitely have seen a difference [in her]” Snider said. 

“I’m a conduit. I just send it through me… I get in, and I am grounded first, and then I meet the animal. If I’m allowed, [I put my] hands on, just to let them know who I am and what I do. [My goal is to] balance their energy, because living things have a hard time healing if we’re not balanced,” Sandmann said. 

Unfortunately for those seeking her assistance, Mrs. Sandmann has moved out of Cincinnati as of this month. 

“I am going to Southwest Michigan, because we have family up there… I am going to work at another school district,” Sandmann said. 

Around the time of her farewell, the office staff got her a flag stating “Good Luck Finding Better Coworkers Than Us!” Our district is thankful to have had her for the time it did, and the Raptor Reporting team wishes her luck in her new endeavors.
