Meet your guide…

Welcome to my page! People often tell me that my warm and welcoming style, along with my calming disposition, fosters an atmosphere where they can quickly relax and immerse themselves in the natural world using all their senses.

I am a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy Guides & Programs (ANFT) and the founder of Cohesive Outcomes LLC, a company focused on personal and professional empowerment programs. The new branch of my company, Confident by Nature, leverages nature as both the classroom and the teacher, blending my extensive leadership development expertise with the wealth of medical and scientific research demonstrating the mental and physical benefits of Forest Therapy. With a lifelong love for the outdoors — as evidenced by time spent hiking, camping, skiing, biking, and kayaking — I have many happy memories of leading my family (and Girl Scout troop) on many nature adventures over the years. My professional background in corporate, focused on maximizing professional potential, laid the groundwork for my entrepreneurial efforts aimed at boosting confidence in women entrepreneurs and businesswomen. Yet, it was my own personal struggle with stress, self-doubt, exhaustion, and resulting health challenges that drew me to Forest Therapy, helping me realize the profound impact a deeper relationship with the natural world could have on my overall health and well-being. I am passionate about guiding people into deeper connections with nature. I am thrilled to be sharing forest bathing experiences designed to quiet the mind and body, alleviate stress, stimulate the imagination, and create community among participants.

Based about 1.5 hours north of Philadelphia, I love to travel and welcome the opportunity to trek to new locations to conduct private or group nature immersions, workshops, and speaking engagements. Click on the "My Walks" tab up above. I hope to see you on one soon!
