Heather Prince M.F.Phys is an innovator in the field of horticultural and nature/eco-therapy working for over 25yrs. with adults and children with developmental and physical disability, youth at risk, addicts, the elderly and those with a wide range of skills. Heather is a public speaker, workshop presenter, artist and writer.
She began her career in Britain where she was instrumental in setting up the first program of its kind whereby primary school children were invited to actively participate in the growing and tending of the organic gardens alongside those with developmental and social disabilities.
She was offered a position as a horticultural therapist in Saskatchewan, Canada and eventually opened her own healing center. She re-located to the United States where she worked with Gardens for Humanity, Greening Harmony and Chimayo Youth Conservation Corps, a center for youth at risk. She was a retreat-co-ordinator and tour guide in Sedona, Az. working with an international clientele.
She has recently moved to Vancouver, B.C. to explore how she may best create her new Eco-therapy venture, “Nature is my Nature” ……. a return to the understanding that humans were designed to adapt to nature, not to urbanization and to incorporate the well-documented evidence that nature heals, into a tangible, life-changing program.
