Author Amilya Antonetti's son, David, spent almost half of the first year of his life in and out of the emergency room. After the doctor's efforts to pinpoint the cause of his distress were fruitless, a determined Amilya eventually discovered an unmistakable pattern: Her son became violently ill about two hours after she finished cleaning house. David was having severe, though not uncommon, allergic reactions to ordinary household cleaners. Amilya's attention immediately turned to finding safer yet still effective ways to keep a clean house -- without putting David in the hospital -- which she built into a successful line of natural products.

Amilya Antonetti spent the first years of her son's life in hospital emergency rooms.
That battle to save her son's life led to not only a wondrous solution but also to the launch of Amilya's Soapworks. A decade later, not only had she moved her natural products into the major grocery chains across the USA and Canada, she helped to redefine the cleaning aisle and usher in the "human and earth friendly" movement which consumers are embracing in waves today.
A popular personality on television and radio, Amilya has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, as a regular guest on The BIG Idea with Donny Deutsch, FOX Business, MSNBC's Your Business, CBS This Morning, Extra, and countless international radio and television shows.
Her story of Amilya's Soapworks has appeared in books, newspapers, magazines such as Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneurial Soul, People, Working Mother, First for Woman, Smart Money, Inc., Time, and her "Smart Choice Mom" lifestyle and organization tips can be read in Parent and Child and Family Circle Magazines.
Amilya has received numerous entrepreneurial awards and been lauded by her peers. Her first book, Why David Hated Tuesdays, has continued to make her a much sought after guest and public speaker. Amilya has addressed audiences alongside the greatest speakers of our generation, including Tony Robbins, Zig Zigler, Oliver North, Katie Couric and Hillary Clinton.
With the sale of Soapworks, she has moved on to the helm of AMA Enterprises and, through Amilya.com, delivers real world information, products and services to help 21st century consumers make smarter, healthier lifestyle choices.
Amilya is living her life doing what she loves: speaking, writing and illuminating the pathway for others. But as busy as she is Amilya never forgets her most important job, which is to be a great mother to her son David and her young daughter. They remain, and will always be, her purpose in life as well as key passion.
