Class Experience

In this empowering and educational class, students will explore the powerful connection between nature and well-being by reading an entertaining book written and created by the teacher, which has been traditionally published.

Through this fun lesson, students will gain a deeper understanding of the physical and mental health advantages of immersing themselves in nature!

Learners will also engage in interactive nature-based mindfulness, affirmation, and gratitude exercises that promote focus and positivity while exploring the vital connection between nature and their well-being.

Students will receive three hands-on nature activities designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, extending their adventure beyond the classroom. These activities, also created by the teacher, will be available as printable downloads, encouraging students to continue exploring and appreciating the wonders of nature at home.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Psychology from Rosemont College
As a licensed mental health therapist and behavior specialist, practicing in the state of PA, I know how children and teens experience stress and challenges as they grow.

Over the past 15 years, I have provided therapy, self-esteem, and social skills classes for youth ages 5-21 in private practice, community, and school settings. I have had the privilege of helping many kids overcome obstacles and develop confidence and healthy self-esteem.

I empower children to build on their unique strengths and equip them with the tools they need to develop important social-emotional skills to overcome life’s stressors and grow happy and healthy.

In addition to my counseling experience, I am a mom of four and a children’s book author with both self-published and traditionally published works focusing on mental health, social skills, self-esteem, and related topics. I bring both personal and professional experience to my work, blending practical tools with an empathetic understanding of children’s needs.
