I get your struggles cause

I have BEEN THERE!

When I started my nature-based pediatric practice in 2015, I felt SO out of my comfort zone. (See "nervous first day" smile in the pic here...) 😬

But right away, nature-based therapy brought changes in children and renewed my love of my work.

In my business, I created systems to save LOADS of time and energy while growing my nature-based practice.

Because of those systems, my practice has been profitable every single year, and I work part-time running the business while also making a good yearly salary.

I also wanted to truly understand the evidence for nature-based practice.

I spent 5 years studying and graduated in May 2023 with my PhD.

My dissertation research developed a theory - The Ecology of Change in Outdoor Therapy (ECO-Therapy) Model - which explains mechanisms of change at work in outdoor pediatric occupational therapy.

Over the past few years, I've helped dozens of pediatric therapists start profitable & LIFE-CHANGING outdoor practices through my nature-based therapy course and business coaching.

All that I've learned as a pediatric practitioner, an entrepreneur, and in my PhD are poured into my offerings to support YOU in the BUSINESS & PRACTICE of nature-based pediatric therapy! 💚
