In 2004, he attended the Cayce/Reilly School of Massage and began working at the ARE Health Center with Dr. Peter Schoeb, in 2005 he completed a Hypnotherapy certificate with Dr. Allen Chips and began integrating bodywork and regression therapy. A few years later, JP moved to San Jose, California where he attended Palmer College West and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic. While at Palmer, he was elected President of the Student Government, graduated Magna Cum Laude, and was selected to participate in 2010 Clinic Abroad in Fiji. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Amonte has been an educator and featured speaker on holistic, natural healing, presenting across the country and internationally. He presently hosts a weekly Wellness Wednesday live video on the ARE Facebook page, writes articles for Venture Inward magazine, and maintains an active clinical practice at the ARE Health Center. He is on social media as Dr. Jean Paul Amonte & holisticnaturalcare.
Dr. JP enjoys spending time with his son, Calen (swimming, biking, running, climbing and jumping on trampolines), and actively competes in endurance races including marathons, triathlons, and Spartan races. In 2021, he completed the Hudson River swim with the Navy SEALs to fundraise for military veterans. In 2023, he became a Spartan gold medalist, winning his age group for the mid-atlantic region, and in September 2024, completed Ironman Maryland to fundraise for the local Autism foundation, FACT (Families of Autism Coming Together).

Speaker 2025
Peter Woodbury
Peter received his undergraduate degree in psychology from Harvard University. His uncle, who also went to Harvard, told him that for the rest of his life, people will think he was 10 times smarter than he actually was! Turned out to be quite true!
He continued his formal education at Boston University, where he received the degree of Master of Social Work. After graduation, he taught counseling for Boston University School of Social Work for several years.
He became interested in hypnosis and trained in hypnotherapy and past-life regression with Dr. Brian Weiss, Dr. Allen Chips, and Dr. Daniel Brown.
He had a successful career in the Boston area as a psychotherapist and graduate school professor. He had learned about Edgar Cayce while in college from his uncle once again), and eventually moved to Virginia Beach in 2002 to become part of the Edgar Cayce organization. He wasn’t sure what he would do for the organization, but there was an opening for a conference facilitator. He jumped at it and for 4 years, he attended every conference the organization held. He considers that period to be his metaphysical Ph.D. program!
He subsequently began to speak on behalf of the organization and became one of the Cayce organizations most popular speakers, creating their Life Coaching and Past-Life Regression Hypnosis Certification Trainings, which sold out each year. He also taught Regression Hypnosis at their Atlantic University.
Through his involvement with the Cayce organization, he has become one of the world’s most prolific regressionists, having conducted over 7,000 regression sessions, about 350 regressions a year. He is also a life coach and mentor to coaches and regressionists.
He travels extensively as a speaker & tour guide, leading spiritually based travel programs around the world.
