About AMI

The Association for Music and Imagery (AMI) was established in 1986 as a non-profit organization to maintain and uphold the integrity of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music through implementation of training standards, endorsement of training programs, and support of trainees and practitioners.

AMI-endorsed training in The Bonny Method is provided around the world through 17 AMI-endorsed training programs based in 8 different countries. AMI Fellows are currently practicing in 29 states in the U.S. and in 25 countries in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, as well as Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Graduates of AMI-endorsed training programs may apply to AMI for recognition as Fellows of the Association for Music and Imagery (FAMI).

AMI’s current membership includes facilitators, trainers, students, and supporters of The Bonny Method. All AMI members pledge to take personal responsibility to uphold the AMI Code for Ethical Conduct. AMI’s purpose is to advance the application and understanding of The Bonny Method and its adaptations. AMI promotes ethical training and practice, supports research and publication, guides professional development, facilitates networking for its members, and provides public education and outreach.
