Connect With Your Inner & Outer Nature
With Amy Charnay, MS, CNS - Holistic Health Practitioner, Guide & Consultant
Shaped by the land
As a guide & practitioner, my work is rooted in the wisdom of the natural world and the belief that humans are an integral part of this tapestry. My invitation is one of reconnection – to your inner & outer landscapes – through restorative, nature-based health and wellness programs. My approach is inclusive, integrative and tailored to individual and group needs.

Natural medicine rooted in ancient ways
My work is firmly rooted in connection and an understanding of the complex systems that affect our individual and collective physical, mental and emotional health & wellbeing. My approach to healing is practical, nonjudgmental and relational.
I bring decades of experience as a practitioner and facilitator and specialize in supporting individuals and groups to cultivate vitality, resilience and a greater capacity to navigate illness, surgery, burnout and the stressors of modern life.
My credentials include a Master’s of Science in Herbal Medicine where I trained with international leaders in herbal safety, efficacy, and Ayurveda. I also hold titles as a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), Aromatherapist, Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation teacher and Nature Connection Guide. In France, I am a registered Naturopathe.
I am especially passionate about serving those with sensitive & unique nervous systems, helpers, organizers, trauma survivors, chronically ill, neurodivergent and disabled folks, and anyone who has experienced marginalization from systems of oppression.
