About Natalia Carnevale

A Typ A Gal is currently under a rebrand to The Nature Kinship. While I have years of experience diving deep into education, it’s my perspectives and experiences as a typical gal that allows me to show up for other humans that roam this earth. With these experiences; I am passionate about creating a haven for those that seek to tread a different way- perhaps an atypical way. I am an individual that is always up for an adventure! I am a homeschooling parent and a wildling at heart. With that, I created the A Typ A Gal Experience to nurture children through the fundamentals of learning. Over the past 15 years in working in the world of Early Education/Intervention I recognized the need for more access to nature AND exploration. The hours spent indoors despite the knowing benefits of nature and play is a driving force behind providing more access to children. I have utilized my passion of creation to cultivate learning that can be fun and engaging for all learners. Whether it is a superhero, water bear or anything in between I pride myself in connecting with the learner to nourish the inquisition of the young mind. I welcome all that wish to nurture their children alongside me and The Nature Kinship. If you want to integrate more nature and FUN with your children, we look forward to seeing you!
