Roxanne loves living nestled in the mountains but is always excited to journey to distant lands. She firmly believes in the power of living connected to nature and the importance of hands-on learning. Roxanne sees herself as a kinesthetic learner that is deeply attuned to her sensory experience. She spent many years as a ropes course facilitator and outdoor adventure guide for various organizations and groups including youth, adults, and differently-abled individuals, and she cherished her time teaching outdoor education on the Chesapeake Bay. Roxanne holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from George Mason University, and she is currently participating in a Hakomi Mindfulness Somatic Psychotherapy Training, which is a body-centered healing modality that uses internal observation and somatic awareness to identify core narratives within ourselves. She is interested in the ways in which slowing down and turning inward can help us observe, connect to ourselves, and become more conscious of how we move through our external environments. She believes in the body’s innate wisdom and the importance of healing touch, which can be a mirror of the unconditional love that resides in each of us. Roxanne is a lover of the natural world and enjoys spending time exploring by walking, gardening, hanging out with her goats, cooking, and singing and on occasion climbing rocks.
