Restorative garden spaces and writing rooted in relationship to place.


This work began long before I had language for it.Through sustained time in the garden and years of writing, I began to notice how attention, perception, and inner life shift in relationship with place.What I once understood through education and study, I now recognize as something lived.My essays are the primary way I share this work. While my understanding was shaped, in part, through the study of applied ecopsychology, its meaning has come through lived experience.I offer garden consultations remotely, working with individuals to design accessible, container-based, and small-scale garden spaces.
Drawing on my background in floral design, I help clients choose and arrange plants, and create gardens that are both beautiful and manageable, spaces that support everyday life and wellbeing.
