Hi there, if you're a nature lover, were likely kindred spirits. My name is Tina White, creator of NatureMinded.ca and Fairy Door Tours, and just recently the Fairy Factory & Gift Shop. I moved from the burbs to the bush nine years ago, today I live in a small cottage at the edge of Lamanche Provincial Park, on the stunning Southern Shore in Newfoundland.
I retired early from my marketing job to pursue creative and nature experiences, my time is filled with many outdoor pursuits. I love to forage, hike, kayak, bike and swim, and occasionally spend the night in my hammock on the beauitful East Coast Trail (there's nothing more magical than sleeping under the starry sky and woodland canopy).
My love of the outdoors and the need to unplug from the hustle and bustle of life, led me to become the first certified Forest Therapy guide in the province. Reconnecting to nature – or rewilding has changed my life – it can change yours too!
Spending meaningful time in nature has greatly reduced my anxiety and depression, it also lit my creative spark and a beautiful and unexpected little business was born (Fairy Door Tours). Find yourself again, reconnect to your roots – your true nature on a gentle, guided woodland experience!
Though mostly self-taught, as well as several online courses in Herbalism, Seaweeds, and Foraging I am fortunate to have among my mentors Vicky Walsh, local Artist/Traditional Skill Bearer, and Lori McCarthy from Food, Culture Place who I completed a 1 year mentorship through Heritage NL.
