Scientific evidence continues to confirm what we've known for the history of our existence:
WE NEED NATURE TO BE HEALTHY.

Occupational Therapist, Nature Connection Mentor

As an occupational therapist working in traditional and outdoor settings, I have seen how experiences in nature support holistically healthy child development and human wellness. Whether you're a parent, childcare provider, educator, pediatric heath professional, or seeking individual  services, I want to share the science and wisdom of this truth with you.
