Amanda Garforth
Co-Director
Amanda is the co-director of Carpe Diem Wellness, where her passion for holistic health meets a deep commitment to helping individuals reconnect with their body's innate healing power. With a foundation built across multiple healing disciplines, Amanda brings a truly integrative approach to every client she works with — one that honors the whole person, not just the symptoms.
A graduate with honors from the American College of Healthcare Science in Applied Science in Complementary Alternative Medicine, Amanda also holds a nursing degree from the University of Pittsburgh. This rare blend of conventional medical training and holistic education allows her to bridge the gap between evidence-based care and root-cause wellness — offering clients the best of both worlds.
Amanda is a Certified Somatic Practitioner, weaving body-centered awareness into her work to help clients release stored tension, trauma, and emotional patterns held within the nervous system. This somatic lens is central to her approach, as she believes true healing begins when the body feels safe enough to let go.
Her certifications span a wide spectrum of healing modalities:
Emotion Code, Body Code & Belief Code — to identify and release energetic imbalances at the subconscious level
Reiki Master & Sound Healer — to restore energetic flow and promote deep nervous system regulation
Certified Nutritionist — to nourish the body from the inside out, addressing the nutrimental roots of imbalance
Amanda is passionately dedicated to enhancing awareness and fostering connection to holistic approaches for nervous system regulation. She understands that lasting wellness isn't found in a single modality — it's discovered at the intersection of all of them.
By weaving together somatic practice, energy healing, nutritional guidance, and emotional wellness, Amanda creates a personalized, compass-driven experience for each client. Whether she's guiding someone through the Emotion Code, supporting nervous system recovery, or crafting a nourishing wellness plan, her goal is always the same: to empower individuals to reclaim their health, trust their body's wisdom, and chart their own course toward balance, harmony, and lasting vitality.
