Dr Lily Amorous is a Clinical Psychologist, Artist, and Near-Death Experiencer whose path has been shaped by both scientific inquiry and soulful transformation. With an early foundation in the visual arts, Lily first studied Fine Arts at The University of Tasmania, before responding to a deeper calling toward the mental health field in her mid-twenties.

Her clinical journey began with frontline volunteer work at Lifeline and Drug Arm, laying the groundwork for what would become a deeply human-centred approach to therapy. Dr Lily went on to complete a Bachelor of Psychology with Honours, a Clinical Psychology PhD, and later, a postgraduate qualification in Palliative Care. Her work has spanned diverse and complex clinical settings, including:

• Youth Detention Centres and Residential Services for homeless youth

• Richmond Fellowship

• The Sexual Assault Support Service (SASS), working with children and adolescents

• The Bridge (Salvation Army Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre)

• The Hobart Clinic and St Helens Private Psychiatric Hospitals – inpatient and day programs focused on drug and alcohol recovery

• Clinical Psychology Private Practice

Dr Lily brings trauma-informed care, neurodivergent affirming care, psychological depth, and gentle presence into every interaction.

Before her near-death experience, Dr Lily was an avid marine conservationist, passionate about the protection of turtles, sharks, and marine ecosystems, often capturing the beauty of the underwater world through photography.

Since her NDE, Dr Lily’s work and life have expanded to integrate spiritual dimensions, energetic awareness, and creative healing. Her post-NDE arts practice is an expression of both her lived experiences and a commitment to soulful connection. She brings together science, sensitivity, and the sacred in a way that honours the complexity of being human—and more than human.

At The NDE Connexion, Dr Lily offers a space where lived experience is deeply respected, where spiritual transformation is not pathologised, and where healing is understood as a multidimensional journey.
