Dr. Amy Tarquini ND, CNS

Dr. Amy Tarquini 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 to recognize this same innate healing capacity 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 life’s 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 California and is also a Certified Nutrition Specialist through the American Nutrition Association. 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, craniosacral therapy, pelvic floor therapy, and HeartMath biofeedback. Dr. Tarquini is a certified yoga instructor (RYT-500) and thus has a strong emphasis on movement and breath as medicine, as well as a strong passion for brain health and how it relates to Mindbody medicine. She is ReCODE certified to help support individuals dealing with cognitive decline. 

In her spare time, Dr. Tarquini can be found exploring with her fiancé, practicing yoga, playing frisbee with her pup Sampson, or reading. She is excited to join you on your healing journey Solcere!
