My background:

I started my professional career as a Physical Therapist, driven by the desire to help people with their physical ailments. After some years in the field, the proverb "Mens sana in copore sano"  - " A sound mind in a sound body" started to proof itself true.

Now that I am on a different professional path, this proverb still rings true to me and I am applying it on a bigger scale: we can only regain and sustain a healthy planet if we stop our abusive behaviors, reflect on how we see nature and start to live in harmony with all living species on this planet. It has become a passion of mine to help others transform their backyards into exactly such areas of harmony. Every native plant fulfills its purpose - and that is so much more than just pleasing our eyes.
