I'm a naturopathic physician, Chinese medicine practitioner, published biophilia researcher, and professor of holistic medicine.  I am also a trained and certified Forest Therapy guide through the two leading training organizations, the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT), and the Forest Therapy Hub (FTHub).  Throughout my career and personal life, I've focused on two main issues: our relationship with the Natural World, and our cultivation of optimal health and well-being. 

I conduct facilitated nature-based experiences for individuals and groups, both in-person in the vast & beautiful landscape of Wy'East (Mount Hood, outside Portland, Oregon) and via Zoom/online.  Though the intention of these experiences is simply mindful presence and connection with the surrounding environment, people often can have therapeutic, restorative changes from their time in Nature.

My role is to safely facilitate those experiences, whatever they may be, and provide healthy transitions into and back from the encounter with the "Healing Power of Nature".

I'm looking forward to sharing the majestically complex rich beauty and solace of the natural world with you.
