A new approach to wellness - rooted in nature
Nature Resonance is founded by Lucy Martin and Lily Martin, 4th generation Pacific Northwest sisters with over 2 decades of diverse nursing and teaching experience. Well versed in burnout, evidence-based practice, and nature therapy, they are committed to improving quality of life, utilizing their backgrounds in public health, professional development, quality improvement, adult learning theory, positive psychology, and social emotional learning. While there is no known solution to burnout, for years they have researched and practiced strategies to manage the seemingly unavoidable chronic stress that burdens their industries. Lucy and Lily are testaments of the healing power of nature, rest, community, play and neuroplasticity. Their chosen fields and experience in event planning, hosting, and traveling equip them to tackle the problem of burnout through innovative solutions, such as nature retreats and community building.
