Sharing about me.

I have a two acre property in North Florida and spend a lot of time in the garden to keep me at peace. Slow living best describes my wellness strategy. Daily movement of the body, moments of rest for the mind, time of reflection for the soul. Meandering through the property in nature each evening releases any stress from the day. I have always met with nature as best practice for finding healing,calm, or focus and look forward to greeting the natural world together.

Partnerships

I am currently in partnership with Goodwood Museum & Gardens in Tallahassee, FL. I guide on this beautiful property the 3rd Saturday of each month. Please join me for a Forest Therapy Walk.

I am also guiding each season at Birdsong Nature Center in Thomasville, GA. 565 acres of wildflower meadows, forests, ponds and swamps.
