Peter Amato,
Founder and Master Teacher
Inner Harmony Approach
CEO, Inner Harmony Wellness Center

As a founding partner in several leading national businesses, Peter Amato has always been able to anticipate new paradigms in a changing marketplace. Inspired by personal growth and the realization of the need for a higher standard within healthcare, he envisioned a wellness center that integrated conventional and alternative medicine.

He subsequently founded the Inner Harmony Wellness Center to provide the best, most effective complementary healing modalities to the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

His vision proved prophetic, as the field of integrative medicine has now gained wide acceptance. Peter expanded Inner Harmony by adding a medical team and creating the Center for Integrative Medicine at Inner Harmony, which is recognized as one of the first and foremost authentic centers for integrative medicine in the nation.

Peter is a certified meditation and yoga teacher, with certifications from Deepak Chopra, M.D., Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., and Yogi Amrit Desai. He is also a student of Thich Nhat Hanh, world-renowned Buddhist monk

and teacher, and Noble Peace Prize nominee. Peter has worked with and received blessings from the Dalai Lama, having partnered with the Smithsonian Institution in bringing His Holiness to Washington, D.C. He is also a member of the Board of Regents of Bastyr University, and a board member of the Clearbrook Foundation.

In the holistic health world, Peter was invited by Andrew Weil, M.D. to serve on the Board of Directors of his Foundation for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, and as founding Chair of the Board of the National Integrative Medicine Council, whose mission was to influence and guide the future of healthcare through grassroots advocacy activities, public awareness campaigns, and strategic partnerships with businesses and academic institutions

Dr. Isaac Mathai, Surgeon General of the International Holistic Health Association, asked Peter to serve as U.S. liaison to the Global Holistic Health Summit, a conference held in India to promote holistic medicine for the 21st century.

A frequent traveler and student of many global healing systems for the past 20 years, Peter speaks to audiences across the world on his vision of inner harmony.
