I teach nature-connected narrative practice.
I help people navigate life through a seasonal lens, understanding their sensitivity and creative patterns as part of their natural design.My work grows from the recognition that for those who experience life with emotional intensity, developing a personal relationship with place through narrative practice isn't a luxury but essential medicine.

Natural Hours: A Practice Memoir
(Available August 2025)
Digital/Print chapbook memoir, 38 pages.This intimate practice memoir demonstrates how fragments captured through nature-connected narrative practice became patterns, and how those patterns reveal a way of living that honors intensity rather than managing it. Through four years of Sunday Letters and decades of nature-connected journaling, it reveals how your relationship to place becomes the foundation for discovering your natural voice and living from your natural sense of self rather than external prescription.
