Joan ‘Taj’ Leppla, M.Ed., nature-based educator and healing arts practitioner, has more than thirty years of holistic education and nature-based healing experience.

This realization culminated in leaving her job and starting a part-time computer consulting business. Doing this gave her the freedom to learn about natural health and healing and, more importantly, to spend regular time outdoors observing and communing with nature.Today, nature is one of Taj’s greatest allies and teachers. She enjoys inspiring others to build conscious relationships with the natural world and to expand appreciation for the wildlife we share the land with via nature outings, classes and workshops.
