My Experience
After a few years of working in classrooms, I was astounded by the enormous therapeutic benefits I witnessed when working with children outside. I knew it was time to escape the 4 walls and into the beautiful outdoors.
As a mother of two, I know parents are facing magnified challenges meeting all of their child's needs. I would be honoured to be a part of your support circle and share my therapeutic outdoor approach. My goal is to developmentally support your child while co-facilitating with nature.
"Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls." ~ Erin Kenny
