Field Biologist turned Environmental Educator with a passion for all-things winged. Lucky enough to have spent my entire career studying nature and striving to help people re-connect and re-wild. Certified Forest Therapy Guide through ANFT.

I’m the co-founder of Nature Bathing, a Hong Kong social enterprise using nature-based programs to uplift people’s well-being. Living in one of the world's most stressed cities, we provide nature-based wellness programs for citizens to de-stress, learn and connect deeply with nature. Science has shown that a 20-minute nature break can effectively reduce our stress hormones for 2-3 weeks. We help people experience nature's power in improving well-being, so as to inspire intrinsic motivation for environmental conservation. Since 2017, we have partnered with 70+ schools, 40+ non-profits and 20+ corporates to co-create impactful programs and community resources, serving more than 10,000 people.
