Amy is passionate about fostering a deeper human connection to the natural world and living in balance with the earth.

Originally from northeast Ohio, Amy has lived in diverse landscapes across the country, including the mountains of Colorado, the forests of New Hampshire, the coast of Rhode Island, and the farmland of central Maryland before returning to her Ohio roots. She lives in Chagrin Falls and is the proud mother of a son and daughter. In her free time, she enjoys meditating daily, gardening, spending time with family and friends, and working on her home. She loves traveling to new places and spending time outdoors, especially hiking and camping with dog.
