Classically trained pianist turned VC-backed biotech CEO, Amélie Quilichini is now the founder and CEO of Changing Patterns. Her mission through her venture is simple: being a catalyst of consciousness by bridging science with the mystical.

Forced off her path as a professional pianist at age eighteen, she dove deep into her engineering studies and let the artistic part of herself die then. After graduating from two of Europe's top engineering institutions, she stepped into strategy consulting and climbed fast until her body staged a revolt in 2019. That’s when her doctor told her to turn to meditation. She resigned and the pain lifted from her shoulder in a split second.

What followed was not a straight line. She leapt into tech entrepreneurship, scaled her second biotech company to the multimillion-dollar stage, simultaneously diving into meditation and every healing modality available. She seemingly was thriving until she whispered to her executive coach “I cannot stop or I will die.” That’s when she understood her overachievement patterns were rooted in trauma that had been stored in her body for decades.

At the end of 2024, Amélie walked away from this company and the dreams she had built around it and stepped into the unknown once again. Her decade-long journey through chronic pain, remembering childhood trauma, and spiritual crisis became the foundation for her life's work: guiding conscious beings to untether themselves from the layers of trauma, conditioning, and pain standing in front of who they truly are. Pure consciousness.

Pioneering a radical approach to meditation rooted in the body and lived experience, Amélie offers a step-by-step process to free your body of past pain as a first step toward making bliss your new normal. Becoming Untethered is her first book.
