This website represents a lifetime of work with natural elements to create engaging environments that promote the therapeutic use of natural elements for human well-being.

    Years of intimate contact with nature was a transformational experience, and over time I developed a sensitivity to the potential for nature to meet therapeutic needs of clients.  As a design/build contractor, my 'secret agenda' was to connect people with natural environments, so they might reap the inherent rewards of engaging with nature. 

  And so, my mission;

Designing places and programs that leverage the therapeutic impact of interacting with nature and natural elements.
