A leader in the field of transformative natural health education, Nicole has helped thousands of people discover and implement real strategies for living a healthier, more connected life. In her teachings, Dr. Apelian sheds light on what Nature Deficit Disorder is and how even with our busy, modern lives we can use indigenous knowledge to heal ourselves and our communities to achieve true natural wellness.
