Biography

I am an Eco Gerontologist, educator and changemaker, dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to unearth the full health potential of their surroundings. My expertise lies in generating supportive, accessible, and multifunctional outdoor experiences and spaces that enhance quality of life for people of all ages.

 

I have a strong academic foundation, including a Master of Science in Gerontology from the University of Indianapolis and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology & Philosophy from the University of Toledo.

 

Additionally, I have over 25 years of experience as a Healing Arts Professional, specializing in massage, sound healing, mindfulness, laughter yoga, play, breath awareness, and aromatherapy.

As the founder of the Eco Generation Park Model, my research interests are focused on green care, nature connectedness, AWE, and nature-inspired, age-integrated, community-based care and living.

 

Through my work, I have gained extensive knowledge and practical experience in the design, development, and execution of customized wellness programs that showcase cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to care.

I am passionate about nature-based practices, recognizing their vital role in promoting the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Working closely with health professionals, carers, and communities, I strive to create fun and engaging outdoor opportunities that benefit both people and the planet.

 

My mission is to deliver ethical and professional care grounded in

evidence-based practices, using a person-centered and reciprocal-shared care approach.
