As an educator, I view every communication as an opportunity. I strive to uncover common ground, to reach understanding and bring people together, and to build or strengthen networks of community wherever they may develop. As a land steward, I facilitate connections between people and lands through the cultivation of reverence for natural cycles and ecological understanding. Humanity’s relationship with nature, particularly the ethics and experience of the wild and its preservation, are my topics.Through my time serving in wilderness settings, I have developed the ability to read a particular landscape through observation-based insights. Fascinated by the natural world, I am a perpetual student of its teachings. As a yoga instructor and wellness educator, I apply the same understanding to the body as I do to the natural world — that each is a dynamic system operating with vast, largely untapped intelligence. We have countless societal misunderstandings about what fosters and nourishes true health. My work as a coach and guide will strive to bring insight to these areas of opportunity and develop habits and practices in support of deeper mind-spirit-body-nature connections.
