Nature-Based Life Story Guide | Writer | Founder of Natured Path

Where biographical studies, ecopsychology, and creative practice meet

About

Through Natured Path, I integrate biographical studies, ecopsychology, and creative practice in my approach to life story work. Developed through doctoral research in Applied EcoArt, my framework uses nature as both mirror and mentor in understanding personal narratives.
I guide individuals and groups in discovering their life stories through nature-connected biographical work, reflective writing, and creative expression. This creates a foundation for understanding life transitions, building ecological identity, and maintaining ongoing biographical reflection.PhD in Applied EcoArts
