I'm a social worker with 20 years in higher education and am currently the Coordinator of Field Education in the Social Work Program at Jacksonville State University. I believe nature plays a key role in calming the nervous system and boosting well-being.

My Sacred Place


A Space for Grace Serenity Garden at Jacksonville State University

The space's inspiration comes from research into the mind/body that benefits individuals experience when spending time outdoors, such as a reduction in stress, increased memory and attention, regulation of mood, and an overall increased sense of well-being.

"Thank you for this tool I can share with my 7-year-old daughter, for this labyrinth makes meditation easy for the young to understand."
