My two children have had deeply meaningful experiences participating in Michaela’s Restory Kinship programs over the past year. I also know Michaela on a professional level and have seen the intention, experience, and skill she brings to her work. Each week of her program, her thoughtful planning and preparation is evident, while at the same time she leaves space for spontaneous magic to unfold and is clearly attuned to the individuals before her and the group as a whole. It was amazing to witness her ability to connect with each child, celebrate their gifts, support them through challenges, and foster their development throughout the session.  I would highly recommend her programs to any parent looking for deep & authentic learning experiences for their child that provide opportunities for nature connection, outdoor skill-building, craftsmanship, ecological awareness, personal growth… and plenty of playfulness and fun!   - SARA ARCHBALD
