Occupational Therapist, Nature Connection Guide

As an occupational therapist who has worked in traditional and outdoor settings, I have seen how experiences in nature support all aspects of human development and health. Whether you're a parent, childcare provider, educator, healthcare professional, or an individual seeking services, I want to share the science and wisdom of this truth with you.
