I've always felt a profound bond with trees—they’ve been like family to me for as long as I can remember. In 2018, I traveled to California to become certified as a Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). When I returned, I founded Salish Sea Nature Connections on Salt Spring Island, where I spent nine years living where the forest meets the Salish Sea. In 2024, I made the move to stunning Vancouver Island, my new home base.
With a deep commitment to whole-body wellness, I've been working in the healing arts for nearly two decades. My path began in 2006 with Reiki, and later expanded to include ThetaHealing and Holistic Nutrition. Today, I hold certifications as a Forest Therapy Guide, Registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N.), ThetaHealing teacher and practitioner, and Reiki Master. In 2020, forest therapy reignited my creative spark, inspiring me to return to painting after a 20-year pause and to begin writing. I now share my work as both a visual artist and a published author. You can explore more of what I do here.
Together with my husband, wildlife and nature photographer Dave Hutchison, we offer guided forest therapy walks and photography tours on Vancouver Island. Whether you're passionate about nature, love photography, or simply want to slow down and connect with the land, we’d be honoured to share this experience with you.
Join me for a mindful walk in the forest and discover the healing magic of nature.
