My Child Will Thrive Podcast

Amy Taft is a homeschooling mom of three active kids, a former elementary school teacher, retired high school field hockey coach, and now committed holistic practitioner and dedicated advocate for children’s health. She enjoys asking, and being asked, hard questions, learning new skills, nourishing family and friends with nutritious and delicious home-cooked meals, and taking long reflective walks alone in the woods. A recent addition to her passions is homesteading and pursuing a more intentional and self-sufficient lifestyle.Amy began pursuing this path of holistic wellness when conventional medicine and all the “experts” couldn’t provide the answers she needed to help heal her second child, who was born with a number of puzzling health challenges. Making many important discoveries along this journey, she feels compelled to implement what she learns to help others heal their bodies and minds, including her own. For almost a decade, she has been educating herself in the area of ancestral health, functional medicine, and whole food nutrition – reading books, attending seminars, seeking additional training and certifications from reputable cutting-edge programs, and learning from the personal experiences and professional expertise of others. She is passionate about the healing power of real food and the benefits of living in alignment with our God-given human biology. Her heart is helping families, and especially moms, discover their untapped potential for health and vitality, so they can then nurture and help heal their children, who are our future.Amy has a Master’s Degree in Teaching and a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Virginia and is certified as a Primal Health Coach, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Functional Hormone Specialist, and Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist. Always on the lookout for the next opportunity to acquire and apply new understanding, she is a life-long learner who is continuously amazed at the divine complexity and innate wisdom of the human body.Heal the mom, heal the family, heal the world.Shownotes: https://www.mychildwillthrive.com/the-parent-perspective-amy-taft/
