Program Curriculum & Documentation
Professional services for forest schools, nature centers & alternative programs
Bringing Your Educational Vision to Life
I help alternative schools, art studios, and nature-based programs put their educational philosophy into clear, compelling materials that resonate with families, staff, and funders.
Your program has a powerful core that deserves to be seen.
I help you articulate what makes your approach extraordinary in ways that move people to immediate understanding and action.
I work with:
Alternative & Progressive Schools needing to articulate their unique approach
Art Studios & Creative Learning Centers
Nature-Based & Forest Schools
Specialized Educational Programs for children with diverse learning needs
Current Projects

How I Bring Your Vision To Life
-
Curriculum Development
I transform your teaching methods into clear frameworks that maintain their unique approach while making them easy for others to understand and implement. Your educational philosophy becomes a structured system that guides staff, clearly explains your approach to parents, and allows your program to grow consistently.
-
Parent Communications
I create parent materials that clearly explain your educational approach in terms families can understand and appreciate. These materials help parents confidently discuss your methods with others and become advocates for your program in their communities.
-
Staff Training Guides
I create staff training materials that explain both how to implement your methods and why they're effective. These materials help new team members understand your educational approach thoroughly, maintaining consistency in your program even as you grow.
-
Program Documentation
I document your educational approach in ways that satisfy funders and accreditors. These materials present your methods with supporting evidence, helping you secure grants, develop partnerships, and gain recognition for your program.
I have a gift for capturing the essence of what makes your approach special.
I translate educational approaches into clear, compelling materials that truly reflect your program's unique spirit. As a poet and keen observer, My experience with outdoor education, Waldorf schools, and diverse learning environments informs how I create materials that communicate your methodology effectively to parents, staff, and funding partners.
My writing brings together my love of natural observation (I'm an avid forest bather), my artistic sensibilities as a violinist, and my personal investment in alternative education as a mother of two boys who have thrived in Waldorf education their entire lives.
When working together, I develop program philosophy documentation, curriculum frameworks, parent handbooks, and implementation guides through a collaborative process that honors your authentic voice and vision. I believe educational documentation should be as alive and resonant as the programs they describe.

Wish you could bring more nature connection and sensory awareness into your classroom without derailing your curriculum?
The Curriculum I Wish I Could Give Every Educator
You need kids to focus, but how do you get there when half your class is bouncing off the walls and the other half is shut down?
You can see they're struggling - with attention, with emotions, with each other. You know intuitively that they're overstimulated, that they need something more than what you're currently offering. But you've got curriculum to cover, standards to meet, and honestly? You're not sure how to deliver what they actually need.
You already know children learn better when they're calm and connected. You know they need more nature, more movement, more ways to understand what's happening in their bodies. The question isn't what - it's how.
That's exactly why I created Wild Wisdom.
This comprehensive nature-based nervous system curriculum gives you practical tools that work with children's biology instead of against it. Your students learn to identify their body's signals before overwhelm hits. They develop real regulation skills through practices that feel like play but work like medicine.
"I've never seen anything like this. Within three weeks, children were self-regulating, teaching each other breathing techniques, and asking to go outside to 'check their nervous systems.' This curriculum doesn't just teach skills - it awakens something children already know in their bodies."
Over 50 researched practices with indoor adaptations mean you can use this anywhere, anytime. Professional assessment templates help you track what's actually working. Family take-home materials create consistency beyond your classroom.
This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about making everything else you do more effective because the children in your care finally have the nervous system foundation they need to learn.
