Bio

I became a Permaculture designer in the South of France in 2007. I taught Ecopsychology and Expressive arts at Sky Mountain Institute, a permaculture site in Escondido, California. In Laguna Beach, co-designed an all native plant garden as an inspiration of restorative landscaping. I am inspired by Fibershed, natural dyes, pigments, and artisanship. I love native plants and regenerative earth tending. In 2022, I moved to Kauai north shore and now live on the south shore. I'm hoping to collaborate with permaculture women in Hawaii.
