Return To Spirit Wellness

I am a grateful mother to 3 amazing kids and a lover of the outdoors and travel. I spend as much of my free time as possible exploring and adventuring in Nature. As a teen and young adult, I struggled with debilitating depression and to escape the horrific thoughts in my mind I would seek out nature to feel love and connection. I grew up in North Vancouver and developed a love of hiking, trail running, swimming and winters enjoying the snow up the mountains. I felt at ease in nature and being at the ocean was also very soothing for me. I have always loved camping and being in remote areas away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I have experienced the mental wellness benefits that the outdoors provides first hand and I attribute my mindset transformation and a majority of my healing to my daily commitment to my self-love practices. I have a background in support work and have worked in various roles including mental health, addiction, pre/post natal education, youth advocacy and housing support, personal support care and education for physical and developmental disabilities and more recently I have been coaching 1 on 1 and co-facilitating group support sessions. I started Return to Spirit Wellness to be able to share my love of Mother Nature and its mental, physical and spiritual benefits through various workshops and events in the online space and in my community on Vancouver Island. Return to Spirit Wellness is all about escaping the crazy frenetic pace of the modern world and getting grounded and present in nature to create a deep connection with self. My goal is to educate more people on the powerful natural benefits of creating a daily practice of connection to nature. The workshops and events will focus on ways to enhance our connection with the earth and create stillness to cultivate more calm, peace and fulfillment in our lives. Mother nature truly does heal and I look forward to sharing my love of the earth with you soon.
