Bio
Amy Noel Walters, LMT—known on stage as The “Famous” Amy Noel—is a singer, songwriter, sound healer, and holistic movement educator based in Southwest Florida. Founder of the Island Style Institute for Music & Movement, she creates immersive experiences that blend music, mindfulness, vibration, and embodied expression to inspire healing, self-awareness, and connection.
Born into a musical family (yes, Noel—like the Christmas kind), Amy Noel began singing in church and playing guitar at a young age. Though her early dream of forming a band with her brother at age twelve didn’t quite materialize, her brother went on to influence her deeply—and remains one of her strongest inspirations. Her journey through music, trauma, and transformation shaped her belief that trauma is what connects us. Once we can recognize that our wounds speak to one another’s wounds, empathy and love can grow from the most human of places.
With a lifelong background in performance, Amy Noel has shared the stage with Charmaine Neville and Indiana Jazz Hall of Famer Bill Lancton, portrayed iconic vocalists like Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, and Nancy Wilson in tribute shows, and performed across the U.S.—including Las Vegas, New York, Puerto Rico, and more. Her performance style blends originals and what she lovingly calls musical whiplash: Fleetwood Mac to Tracy Chapman, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole to Susan Tedeschi, Aretha to The Rolling Stones—with a voice that is powerful, soulful, and deeply felt.
As a Reiki Master, Ordained Minister, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and Yoga Instructor specializing in breathwork and nervous system regulation, Amy Noel believes that music and movement are medicine. Her signature offering, The Firmament Frequency – The Signature Sound Healing Experience, guides participants from chaos to calm through intention, frequency, and embodied release.
Her newest collaborative project, SHIFT, created with the group Big Booty Joody, centers on healing from domestic violence. The name itself carries story: Big because it’s a big deal, Booty for the loot that was stolen, and Joody as domestic violence symbol. SHIFT was written by and for survivors, with proceeds supporting awareness, education, and healing. (Learn more at shiftmusicheals.com)
Amy Noel has released two albums—Love Is and The Way It Must Be—with additional sound healing and original music projects currently in production. Her message remains steady:
Through intention, sound, and movement, you can heal trauma.
And she’s here to help people do exactly that—one breath, one note, one beat at a time.
