Nature & WellnessGetting outside is a must for me — nature offers free healing benefits that nourish body, mind and soul. Spending time outdoors deepens your appreciation for the natural world and inspires a desire to protect it.
Nature Nature itself is my greatest teacher — always reminding me to slow down, breathe deeply, and trust the rhythm of life. From the whisper of trees to the call of birds, nature offers every one of my senses wisdom and healing. Animals Animals embody pure presence and unconditional love. Whether wild or domestic, they remind us to live with authenticity, empathy, and gratitude for the simple joys of life. Forest Therapy I’ve been practicing forest therapy since childhood and continue to find peace and joy in it today. Whether tending my garden at home or exploring natural settings — forests, oceans, lakes, and beaches — I feel renewed every time. Join me on a forest therapy walk and experience the calm and clarity that nature provides. CSTN Beach Patrol If you walk the beaches in the Maritimes, you’ll love the Canadian Sea Turtle Network Beach Patrol program. It connects you with like-minded individuals who share photos and updates from their beach patrols during the season. You can also get involved by helping drive rescued turtles to care sites or by postering — putting up awareness posters in your community. Two Rivers Wildlife Park One of my favorite places to visit. Two Rivers Wildlife Park offers beautiful trails for hiking, a petting zoo with friendly animals, and even camping options — bring your trailer, tent, or rent a cozy cabin. Cape Breton Beaches Cape Breton is home to over 80 incredible beaches. My favorites are the quieter ones, perfect for letting paws roam off-leash and soaking up a full day of sea air and resilience. We pack a picnic lunch, sit on driftwood logs, search for beach treasures, and always bring a bag for collecting litter to help keep our beaches pristine. After a day like that, you come home tired, happy, and ready for a rejuvenating sleep. |

Also, her empathy, confidence and courage shows how we can make positive change in the world for all species no matter our age. Sir.
