ROLY-POLY – EDUCATOR

Eden grew up in Augusta, Maine, and she spent most of her childhood exploring the outdoors in all types of weather. From a young age she felt a strong connection to nature and to the changing seasons. Her favorite memories are of playing near the creek behind her childhood home during a rainy spring, snow days filled with sledding until dark and warming up with hot cocoa, and watching the colors of the leaves change from bright green to dark red and orange every autumn. Eden graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Mount Ida College in 2018.

During her years in undergrad she adopted a vegan lifestyle and from that grew a stronger connection to all living beings, and it led her to complete a Holistic Health & Nutrition Certificate. Since graduating Eden has become an avid traveler and loves to learn about the ways other cultures live and how they view the world. Eden has been supporting families and children as a nanny for the past 5 years which sparked her love and interest for early childhood education.

She enjoys watching children use their imaginations, connect with the outdoors, and grow into confident and capable people. She has a strong interest in supporting women and families in prenatal & postpartum and has helped new parents as a postpartum doula. She is also a certified yoga teacher and finds great joy in teaching yoga to children. She believes it is an important tool for children to be able to find their way back to their bodies and their breath. Eden came to California in 2021 on a cross country road trip from Massachusetts.

She feels grateful to feel the warmth of the sun on her skin every day and to be able to experience all of the beauty and nature southern California has to offer. Eden loves to spend her time reading, hiking, running, snowboarding, dancing, writing, baking, and world traveling. Eden is excited and honored to be joining the team at All Friends Nature School!
