Mindful Nature Guide
Healing, Growing & Connecting with Nature in Mind
“What you seek, is seeking you.” - Rumi
I welcome working alongside you or your organization as you seek your path forward.
There are many pathways to healing and health.
I work alongside individuals and groups at all intersections of their lives. I regularly work with children and the adults who care for them(c).
I welcome meeting with you in-person outdoors, at my Cambridge-MA office and via video.
Together we craft approaches that draw on mindfulness, multiculturalism, diversity and all it’s intersections, systems of connection including community and nature.
