My personal passion is to assist people in achieving their holistic landscape and life design goals through the lens of permaculture, embodiment practices, and preventative healthcare. I guide others to implementing common-sense, life-giving design and restoration tools that generate hope, resilience, and deep connection, modeled by Nature’s intelligent set of principles. I have been deeply humbled by the epiphanies of clients and students awakening consciousness, mindfulness, and strengthening the inter-relationship of people and their sense of place and belonging on Earth.”
