Military & veteran nature-based mental health support through outdoor therapy and community healing practices

Nature-Based Mental Health Support

Where traditional therapy misses the mark; I've found community-based experiences provide the most efficient pathways to healing.

My writing supports PTSD, grief processing & group mental health facilitation, agriculture + nature-based counseling, and community programs + workshops.

If you're crunchy like I am, then it's likely you also hate the amount of dyes, chemicals, and carcinogens that are hidden in our grocery store food.

 

From fermenting & preserving the food, flowers, and herbs that I grow- I've been taught by those living off the land and I'm here to show you how to do it too.
