Welcome!

If you are looking to deepen your relationship and spiritual connection to nature, you are in the right place.

This work has been a core part of my life for nearly two decades, after experiencing a profound opening to the healing and transformative power of nature connection in my early 20s.

Following a traumatic period of my life, a series of synchronistic events led me to live off-grid in the temperate rainforest of coastal British Columbia in a log cabin. For six months, I lived immersed in nature and experienced deep nervous system repatterning and spiritual awakening.

From that time on, I knew that my life's work was to dig into the wondrous healing power of nature connection, and I have studied, practiced, and taught this ever since.

I am also a mother to three girls, and have worked as an addictions therapist, domestic violence crisis counsellor, forest school instructor, and teacher of ancient British & Irish traditions.

My academic background includes Nature & Forest Therapy, Environmental Studies, Women's Studies, Herbalism, Counselling, Social Work, Somatics and Psychology.

Most importantly, I have spent thousands of hours in direct communion with nature and wilderness in Europe and North America, which has enabled me to process trauma and reshape my life.

My most profound and heart-opening relationships have been with the rocky shores and temperate rainforest of the Pacific North West, and the mountainous, boggy Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The spirits of these landscapes continue to be my greatest mentors, and have formed me to have affinity with mountain, island, deep forest, coastline, and sea-scapes.

These experiences and education have provided me with a strong understanding of the intricate relationships between ourselves and the natural world. Embodied nature connection is extraordinarily potent, and I believe it is one of the most impactful ways for us to make meaning out of our experiences, navigate challenges, and create holistic wellness.

Other essential elements of my life include being a single mother to my three incredible daughters, an on-going inquiry into my ancestral ways of knowing (Gaelic animism), and somatic exploration of living through Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.

I live alternately between the traditional unceded Tsleil-Waututh Nation and Squamish Nation territory, North Vancouver, British Columbia, and traditional Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory, Grey County, Ontario.
