Having worked in a variety of settings where mindfulness and guided meditation groups were not only popular but also profoundly appreciated—spanning environments such as correctional facilities, outpatient therapeutic settings, and educational institutions—I have cultivated a deep understanding of the diverse needs of individuals who are seeking peace, stillness, and a sense of inner calm. Through these enriching experiences, I have discovered that pieces crafted from a more organic and natural feel tend to elicit a comforting and resonant feeling when held in the hand. I have been devotedly creating these thoughtfully designed items for my clients for quite some time now, and I now find joy in creating nugz for a wider audience. My passion lies in helping others, which guides me in a professional field where that very mission is the core focus. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with two incredible adult children and four delightful pups—Olive, Violet, Emma, and Charlotte—I find joy in sharing this journey. My girls (the furry office assistants) are not only my companions but are also equally engaged in the creation of the nugz, following me from room to room during various phases of production, always bringing a sense of warmth and presence.
