About

Nature Roaming, LLC was founded as an alternative to traditional leadership coaching. The mission of Nature Roaming is to help purpose-driven individuals identify their strengths, develop their unique leadership styles, and improve their work and personal lives, while maintaining their wellness and well-being. Partnering with nature, alone or with a coach, clients unplug, open up and find new meaning in situations, thoughts and actions.

During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time in the woods as did my son. I had been coaching clients in nature but I didn’t have a name for my nature coaching business yet. One day, my son came inside from the woods behind our home and said “I’ve been nature roaming”. That was it! Nature Roaming, LLC was born.

While I have had a varied career, there has been a common thread: a passion for nature and the environment. Prior to coaching, I was an attorney with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency where I worked with senior leaders and political appointees on national policies and regulations impacting manufacturing, retail and chemical industries. I taught and coached students in Virginia Tech's Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability. As the head of a 500-acre research facility and nature preserve, I created membership and volunteer programs to maintain the natural biodiversity of the land. I have worked with landowners to conserve their land in perpetuity through conservation easements.
