About
amy tarquini nd, cns
Dr. Amy found her passion for helping others achieve optimal wellness after years of struggling through her own chronic disease. When she was only 14, she was diagnosed with autoimmune disease that would be treated (unsuccessfully) for several years and multiple rounds of heavy pharmaceutical agents. It was only after discovering the role of food as medicine that she began to discover the true healing powers of nature. Dr. Tarquini strives to empower all individuals achieve this same innate healing wisdom of the body using effective, personalized interventions. Dr. Tarquini believes that true health is not just the absence of disease, but rather the attainment of balance. To her, optimal wellness takes the shape of resilience to lifeβs circumstances, laughter, curiosity, and kindness.
Dr. Tarquini completed her undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, and a minor in the Spanish language. She went on to complete a four-year CNME accredited naturopathic program at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Tarquini holds an active naturopathic medical license in Oregon and is now practicing in Atlanta. She has extensive training in biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology, as well as botanical and nutritional medicine, hydrotherapy, physical medicine, and pharmacology. She has additional qualifications in homeopathy, cranial sacral therapy, and pelvic floor therapy. She is also a certified yoga instructor (RYT-200) and thus has a strong emphasis on movement as medicine.
In her spare time, Dr. Tarquini can be found traveling, spending time with loved ones, doing yoga, playing with her new puppy, or reading. She is excited to join you on your healing journey!
