I’ve always moved a little slower, listened a little deeper, and dreamed a little bigger. As a kid, I longed for a place where I could be fully myself—barefoot in the garden, hands messy with mud, crafting fairy houses, watching bees, asking big questions, and imagining new ways of being. I didn’t always feel like I fit into the world around me. I thought differently, felt everything, and craved connection—especially to nature and to people who got it.

That longing followed me into motherhood. After giving birth, I found myself feeling deeply alone. I needed community, I needed rhythm, I needed a village. But what I really needed was to create the space I had always searched for—both for my younger self and for the mother version of me who was trying to do it all without support.

So I started building it,
🌿 Growing Wild was born from that deep, soul-rooted place.

It’s a community-centered space where children are free to get messy, solve problems, explore nature, and feel a true sense of belonging. It’s a sanctuary where parents can exhale, find their people, and reconnect to themselves while their children play without screens and without pressure. It’s a blend of nature-based play, sustainability, wellness, and creativity—designed to nourish the land and the people who gather on it.

My background is in social work, but I’ve always been more of a bridge-builder and a visionary than a rule-follower. After college, I sold everything and set off to explore the world solo. That journey eventually led me to my husband and our two wild-hearted kids, who challenge and inspire me every day. Through them, I’ve re-learned how to listen, how to play, and how to dream out loud.

Now, I spend my days foraging, dyeing with plants, making flower essences, baking, building, dreaming—and creating Growing Wild as a living love letter to my past, present, and future selves.

This isn’t just my story—it’s our story.
The story of remembering what matters.
Of growing slow and living wild.
Of raising children and raising ourselves at the same time.
Of making space to come home to who we really are.

I’m so glad you’re here.
Let’s build this village together.
