Maternity Leave 〰️

Thanks for your interest! I’m having a baby in May and will return to serving the community in early September.

If you’d like a consultation, contact me — scheduling replies will likely come by late August.

Thank you for your support as I enjoy this new, rich chapter.

  • Understanding

    Understanding what is alive in your compost or below ground is the first step to knowing the challenges and opportunities above ground.

  • Increase Harvests & Reduce Inputs

    Instead of relying on fertilizers to increase plant growth, relying on soil biology and regenerative principles you will have resilience in a variety of environments. Instead of paying for herbicides, fungicides, germicides, pesticides, and killing off all the issues that persist annually, promote the beneficial biology to protect your plants.

  • Long term benefits

    Harvests continue to improve annually through working with biology to cycle nutrients to your plant. Water retention improves the more deep rooted plants are given opportunities to fully regrow. Build a landscape that will be a blessing to the next generation of owners with systems already in place to easily maintain the land.
