the Brand

Hi, I'm Tanya.

​

I’m a nature-based educator, author and lifelong believer in the quiet wisdom of the natural world. Authentic Roots grew from my belief that some of the most meaningful learning happens when we are curious, connected and engaged with the world around us. Through stories and nature-based experiences, I invite people to slow down, look closer and discover the wonder that is all around us.

 

Authentic Roots focuses on nature-based learning experiences for children and educators, creating opportunities to learn through observation, exploration, hands-on experience and connection with the natural world. I believe that when children can experience something for themselves, knowledge becomes more than something they are told, it has somewhere real to land. It becomes anchored in experience, curiosity and understanding. And just like a root, has the opportunity to grow.

​

Because I believe nature isn't just something we learn about. It's something we experience.
