Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide
Michelle centers her professional and personal life through the lens of environmental kinship: everything in the natural world is interrelated and we humans cohabitate with the land, water, air, plants, animals, and more. In her roles as both a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and a Trails Consultant, she aims to support humans in their relationship with and connection to natural spaces. This connection can support physical, social, mental and emotional health, as well as build pro-environmental and stewardship behaviors. Michelle builds her nature-based guiding practice on her 19 years of work in formal and informal education settings. Michelle currently resides in Fishers, Indiana and guides participants of all ages, abilities, and experience levels.
Our Earth is a beautiful, wild, fascinating, and awe-inspiring place that deserves to be cared for, tended to, and loved. Time spent in nature is deeply personal and unique, and can inspire humans in their journey to build relationships with the natural world. As a Guide, I support humans in that journey when I lead Forest Bathing and Slow Birding experiences. Certified Forest Therapy trails also provide that pathway, and can be open and accessible to folks who may want to build that relationship independently, who have barriers to participating in guided walks (ie. physical, financial, emotional barriers), and/or live in an area without certified guides. I work with land managers to certify trails, spaces, and places for Forest Therapy experiences.
My vision: To mitigate the Global Climate Crisis by building kinship with the natural world.
