Presenting at The Sanctuary Experience Summer Retreat
Grass Lake Sanctuary Manchester, Michigan

The Elixirs of Nature Through the Sense of Smell

How do you feel about your nose?  
Ever let it lead you around?  
“Where” does it take you? 
In this segment of The Sanctuary Experience 
we will practice following our noses, and 
sample some soothing potions of nature through our sense of smell.  

Hello!  
I've had a deep connection to the human body and healing, and to the natural world, plants and animals probably since birth!.  My professional background includes degrees in Physical Therapy and Agriculture.  The Pocket Gym is my construction under creation and where I see clients privately and in groups — inviting participants to “slow down” and listen to their bodies.  I enjoy ongoing study in therapeutic movement-exercise, holistic nutrition, as well as herbal and other “edible remedies” for pets and humans. 

From the gardens to the kitchen, to the  effects of food on the body — I’ve been especially drawn to experimenting more in these areas.  I relish in the relationships to be deepened —through the care of, and tending to the plants on a daily basis, to creating an artistic plate with color, texture and flavors and feeling the aliveness in a simple meal .  I feel these deepening relationships translate to the totality of nourishment for the body, and hope to share the sense of that through my work.

It is my wish through this presentation - exploring through the sense of smell, to help further ignite your connection to the natural world— and your passion for the earth as a true-love companion.
