Learning, nourishment, and community—one season at a time. Upcoming gatherings below…

Some of the most meaningful conversations about women’s health don't happen in a health office. They happen around a kitchen table, on a woodland trail, over a shared meal, or with a cup of tea in hand.

Gatherings are an extension of my nutrition practice—designed to help women learn, connect, and care for themselves in ways that feel both practical and restorative. Through hands-on workshops, seasonal experiences, and thoughtful conversations, you'll gain evidence-informed guidance while building community with women navigating many of the same questions and transitions.

Whether we're cooking together, exploring the trails, discussing the latest menopause research, or simply sharing stories around the table, my hope is that you'll leave with new knowledge, fresh perspective, and the confidence to continue caring for yourself long after the gathering ends.

What You'll Find

Nutrition Workshops

Hands-on classes exploring practical nutrition for menopause, digestive health, healthy aging, meal planning, and cooking with seasonal ingredients.

Woodland Wellness

Slow down and reconnect through guided walks, forest bathing, mindful movement, and nature-based experiences that support both physical and emotional well-being.

Seasonal Gatherings

Celebrate the changing seasons with intimate workshops featuring guest experts, shared meals, book discussions, and conversations that inspire healthier living.

Special Events

From physician collaborations and educational lectures to farm dinners and community wellness experiences, these events bring together science, food, and meaningful connection.

Why We Gather

Healthy aging isn't built through information alone.

It's built through nourishing meals, meaningful conversations, movement, time in nature, and a community that reminds us we're not navigating this season of life alone.

Gatherings are an invitation to slow down, ask questions, learn something new, and rediscover the possibility that comes from caring for yourself—and one another.

Modern life often disconnects us from the natural cues that regulate sleep, energy, mood, and overall health. During this guided woodland walk, Amy explores how light, movement, seasonal change, and time outdoors influence our internal biological clocks while sharing practical, evidence-based strategies participants can incorporate into everyday life.

This program is offered as part of a new Schiff Nature Preserve Woodland Wellness Series, a curated collection of seasonal experiences that invites participants to discover health, creativity, and renewal by learning from the living forest.

The walk will be outdoors rain or shine. Please wear appropriate footwear for uneven terrain and bring water and bug spray or sunscreen as necessary.

— AS - Randolph, NJ

“You’ll be welcomed into an extraordinary space which is the boat barn which begins the calm and caring experience. Amy lives her knowledge and shares it graciously. Being able to see how easy it is to choose foods that are nutritious and to prepare them makes this all very doable when one gets back home.”
