She is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, founder/director of New England Nature and Forest Therapy Consulting (nenft.com) based in Massachusetts and also a trainer, mentor and advisor for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT). Her book, "Forest Bathing with your Dog" combines the practice of forest therapy with our practice of walking our dogs and elevates the depth of both. Nadine's training includes special knowledge in guiding people of all ages in Shinrin-Yoku, "Forest Bathing," walks and the body of scientific knowledge demonstrating the benefits of spending time in nature as a wellness practice and an effective way to manage stress. Nadine has been featured on PBS multiple times, ABC network, and in the Boston Globe and Boston Magazine among other media. As a breast cancer survivor, practicing good self-care is Nadine's most important guiding principle for herself. She has come to know the healing and support that nature can offer us through her own personal wellness journey. Nadine has a business and marketing background and was formerly a world professional pocket billiards player competing on the Women's Professional Billiard Tour. Also an artist, she facilitates Expressive Arts classes at the Virginia Thurston Healing Garden, often incorporating elements of forest therapy throughout.

A Massachusetts native who loves spending time wandering and exploring in nature, she is joyous to be sharing forest bathing and creating environments for forest therapy.
