Hello, I'm Elizabeth,
I’m a former leadership, outdoor recreation & environmental education manager who blossomed into a professional gardener, designer, consultant and personal coach for over 20+ years.
My passion for bringing people and Nature together continues to grow. We absolutely can be better and do better for ourselves, each other and our Earth every day.
Fun facts: I love really good coffee, being outdoors, gardening, paddling, growing & eating fresh food, taking photographs, writing and this still surprises me….everywhere I go, I find marbles and I’m delighted each and every time!
My vision is to grow well-being lifestyle advocates.
What type of person am I talking about?
That’s easy… You’re an adventurous, purpose driven, creative thinking, kind-hearted person with a vision for keeping yourself happier, healthier, more eco-friendly and inspiring others to do the same.
M Y S T O R Y
My background is in outdoor recreation, environmental education, YMCA camping/outdoor education, resort tourism industry and the personal growth and leadership development arenas. Over the years, management positions were a great way to learn and contribute and after 15+ years I barely recognized myself. I was beyond exhausted, unhealthy, stressed and basically I was burnt out. I wanted to find my way back “home” to the vibrant woman I used to be and the only way I knew for sure how to do that was to re-connect with the natural world around me and re-align with my passions in a new and dynamic manner.
With this realization, I rooted down and started my own gardening & wellness lifestyle business. I absolutely loved being back closer to nature, around like-minded people and out of my passions, I earned certifications of completion in horticulture, horticulture therapy, greenhouse management, permaculture design and became a certified soil advocate facilitator. I am also a certified ICF & Living as a Leader Coach, RYT 200 hr yoga & Yin yoga teacher and a Mindful Meditation teacher. In 2021, I happily became a brand partner with a 35 yr old plant-based company who focuses on helping others with their health & wellness lifestyle and growing their own food.
