Meet Carrie Asby, Founder of Nature Heart Safari

Carrie Asby is a wellness coach, author, retreat leader, and wildlife conservation advocate whose work brings together inner transformation, reverence for the natural world, and meaningful service.

Carrie’s relationship with andBeyond Phinda in South Africa has become one of the most meaningful threads in her life and work. She’s experienced Phinda Private Game Reserve as both a guest and a conservation volunteer, doing wildlife rides, staying in both luxury lodging and staff housing, and working directly with elephants, cheetahs, pangolins, and, of course, rhinos.

During her time there, her yoga and meditation practice deepened profoundly. The grandness of nature, the richness of the culture, and the exotic sense of being so far removed from “normal” opened her mind and spirit up in ways she’d never imagined. And this led to a new and deep approach to healing. She knew it was a secret she had to share with the world.

She has woven these insights and experiences into a one-of-a-kind offering: Nature Heart Safari.

Below is a glimpse into the experience, training, and service that have shaped Carrie’s work with people, wildlife, and the natural world — and prepared her to guide this extraordinary journey in Africa.
