My name is Dina, and I’m the creator of the Whispering Wilds method - a unique approach to mind, body, and spirit care that blends nature, neuroscience, proven wellness practices, and eco-consciousness.
This method has been my guide through 30 years of healing from complex trauma, finding resilience and well-being in the embrace of the natural world.
I hold a BA in psychology and certifications as a holistic health practitioner and instructor in meditation, breathwork and neuroscience. For over 25 years, I’ve also worked in integrated marketing communications, specializing in ethical, trauma-informed marketing. I’m a botanical photographer and artist, passionate about creating in harmony with our wild world. Most importantly, I'm a mom, raising my son to be kind in a world that often feels unkind.
But these are the things I’ve done. I want to tell you, with complete honesty, what I haven't done.
I haven't finished my mission to help people and our planet heal, grow, and thrive. That’s why I created this newsletter.
Through The Whispering Wilds newsletter, podcast and community hosted on Substack, I want to share the lessons I’ve learned and continue to learn. Here, you’ll find stories, insights and practices to help you cultivate your own personal grove of wellness practices - rooted in nature, designed to grow with you. Together, we’ll explore:
Finding wellness for mind, body, and spirit through nature
Applying natural systems to our health and lifestyles
Ecotherapy and alternative health and psychology practices
Returning to nature as our spiritual home and community
Reshaping our brain through biomimicry and neuroplasticity
Learning from nature’s resilience to recover from trauma and anxiety
Wild inspiration for parenting and relationships in uncertain times
Earth-care as self-care
If some of these ideas and terms sound unfamiliar or new, don’t worry - I’ll guide you step by step, explaining everything along the way. You don’t need to be an expert, just open to exploring how nature’s quiet wisdom can enrich your life. You'll learn things, but you'll also have casual fun.
This newsletter is an invitation. It’s a journey back to ourselves, to nature and to the connection we share with our wild world. I would be honored if you joined me. Let’s grow together. 🌿
