Originally born in South Africa his father Richard Garstang was a game ranger in the Kruger National Park and later a Conservation Biologist for the World Wildlife Fund and this became Toms foundation for a life’s work in the great outdoors. Through his fathers field work Tom was given the opportunity to spend time with and observe a wide variety of indigenous people and the ways in which they lived off the land from nomadic goat herders in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistans Kashmir region to Kenyas Wakamba and Maasai cattlemen, and the world renowned San Bushmen trackers of the Kalahari desert. 

After immigrating to the United States Tom befriended the Powers family of Buckingham Virginia, a fifth generation clan of trappers and hunters who would open the door to the woodsmanship and hunting culture of the Appalachian range. Garstang builds off of all of these formative relationships and his own creativity to bring a unique and adaptable approach to hunting, conservation, and wilderness survival.

incorporating other forms of fascia work into her profession. Trained in the art of fire cupping she can help clients thrive on the energy and wellness this thousand year old modality provides. She loves to learn new techniques. Holly's theory goes along with the old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

The wellness journey started in Telluride, Colorado where a dear friend introduced her to homeopathic medicine and herbs. Holly had never

experienced any medical treatment outside of pharmaceutical drugs and MD.'s. This type of holistic medicine changed the quality of life for her and her family forever.

Holly returned to Alabama after a few pit stops in Louisiana and New Mexico. Here in Alabama there is a storehouse of knowledge at Wallace State

Community College and Holly took advantage of this opportunity by enrolling in Cosmetology, where she obtained a degree in Salon and Spa Management.

Now licensed in Cosmetology and Esthetics, she desired to know more. She was searching for knowledge about the entire body and how to help her family and community. She discovered that the body, mind and spirit could be affected through touch. So, Holly went to Therapeutic Massage at Wallace State and is passionate about aiding her clients on their wellness journey.

When she's not learning more about wellness, she's playing pickle ball with her husband Sean. Holly is the wife of Sean Carnagey and together they have 8 daughters and 4 sons.
