My Background
How I Got Here
Most of my 'wildhood' was spent happily engaging with the 'More than Human World' outside my riverbank yard and our family's 100 acre woods. After 32 years as an Elementary School Educator, I retired from full time teaching and returned to the forest and river bank to restore myself. Nature has always been my medicine. I spent most of 2021 reconnecting with nature and training to become a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide.
