Verdant Path Consulting, LLC
Hello, thank you for visiting my page! I started Verdant Path Consulting with the goal of doing what I can to build better systems, increasing capacity of communities to access services that are truly useful to them, and advocating for historically marginalized populations to be not only considered but fairly represented when decisions are made.
In my time working in tribal child welfare I have learned much about the lack of representation afforded to many minorities in ‘evidence based practices’ and the frequent lack of consideration for the practice based evidence offered by millennia of use and passing on to the next generation. I seek to hold space for both modern research and ancestral wisdom, finding that the former is often just catching up to the latter; what the ancestors knew the scientists can now accept as they have found ways to prove it.
For your agency, my greatest hope would be to bring an enthusiasm for seeing your vision and community needs authentically represented, to work with you to find ways to access to the support necessary to serve your community well, and to build programs with a sort of intentionality that lends toward both utility and sustainability while catering to your specific needs and vision.
Let’s chat about how we can work together to build a better future for our communities.
