GET TO KNOW ME!
Hello, I'm so glad you're here!
I'm an award winning school counselor, a proud boy mom, corgi lover, and a wife who finds joy in the simple, beautiful moments life has to offer. I've spent almost 20 years in education (teaching, leading, and counseling) and even though I adore what I do, it definitely has its challenges everyday, which is why I try and look for the glimmers. I've been a lifelong gardener, with dirt under my nails and a heart deeply rooted in nature. Whether it's the first bloom of the season, or enjoying the sounds of the birds on hikes with my boys, I believe nature has a way of helping us heal, grow, and thrive!
​
My happiness comes from the glimmers--the tiny sparks of magic in everyday life. A child's breakthrough moment at school, laughter shared around the dinner table, or a quiet morning in the garden--it's these moments that fill my cup and inspire everything I do.
​
Through this space, I hope to share a little of that magic with you, whether it's insights from my counseling work, stories from life as a mom, or tips for finding peace and connection in the natural world. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to help people feel inspired, and I'm so appreciative that you've joined me on this journey, let's start growing together!

XOXO

What is a glimmer, you ask? Glimmers refer to small moments when our biology is in a state of connection with the world around us, which cues our nervous system to feel safe, calm and protected. Glimmers give us a peaceful and joyful state. They are micro moments of goodness that help our body to restore and thrive, and as they reduce emotional distress, they can help us be more at peace.
