Hi, I'm a curious soul who loves to learn and see others thrive while living in harmony with Mother Earth.
I’m passionate about discovering and sharing what makes a farm successful on all levels. It's not just about the food you grow. Success is connecting with your farm, the people you sell to, how you grow your business, how you take care of your soil, ecosystem, and yourself.
My professional roots are in Polarity Therapy and complementary medicine. I grew up on an organic and biodynamic farm, and now own and operate my own organic and biodynamic farm. As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Heart & Soil Magazine, I now spend my time with my farm, in the thriving Heart & Soil Community, and with my teenage kids. I'm happy to bring you tools to bring your life to the next level. Join us for The Soil Summit, where we’ll learn how to collaborate and co-create as nature intended.

Diana, Quebec Canada
Brilliant exposé from a brilliant composter, and reassuring! Trust one's instincts, and learn from mistakes. Since understanding the microbiology in the soil, I've realized just how important feeding root systems is, and how BD preps work towards this. Many many thanks, Gaby and Nathalie❣️
Biodynamic Composting with Gaby Gonzalez
Bob, Ontario Canada
“There were many excellent webinars.
I have been to sessions with Elaine Ingram several times but her recorded interview was outstanding and learning about her research should be essential for everyone.
Vandana Shiva has been a mentor for me over many decades. Her interview was most inspiring. I have read many of her books and articles and I referenced her several times in my article on Agroecology in the 2021 summer edition of Ecological Farming in Ontario.
Dr. Stephanie Seraff provided very important information on the negative health impacts of glyphosate and its “toxic legacy” and why it is essential to educate all of us as to why glyphosate and other dangerous chemicals must be eliminated from food production, processing and distribution.
Chris Boettcher, Chris Trump, Anna Jones-Crabtree, Annamarie Klippenstein, and Nicolette Richer were very informative as well.”
