About Instructor – Amanda Carrick

Carrick lives with her spouse, 40 hens, five cats, a chihuahua, three German Shepherd puppies, and a teen daughter. Carrick and her family are working on a five-acre homestead that is off-grid and self-sufficient. She is a licensed massage therapist as well as a holistic doula and a naturopath, working in natural health for the last five years.

Carrick started her profession in natural health when she decided to stay at home with her four young daughters, construct a hobby farm, and learn how to cultivate and raise food for their family. Carrick holds certifications in energy work, flower essence health and essential oils, herbal medicine making, iridology, reflexology, women’s health, childbirth and labor, and general homeopathy, and also holds a master’s degree in counseling program development for at-risk populations. Carrick spent 15 years working with homeless people, addicts, and young people.

Her goal in natural health is to empower the body to heal and grow as it knows how to naturally. To remind the body what it was made for by using energy cleansing, nutrition strengthening, and motivational techniques the body recognizes and uses to heal from within. To allow the body to remove toxins, regulate and release negativity from the world around us.

Carrick practices what she preaches. She does not educate on something she has not researched and experienced. She does not offer any suggestions that she would not use on herself. Amanda does not diagnose or prescribe, she educates on the body and its ability to be NATURAL.
