Decades of research have shown that our environments have a significant effect on longevity. We now know that the aging process is conditioned by genetic factors, variations in human development, and, above All, our dialogue with the environment.
At the core of my expertise, environmental gerontology seeks to understand, analyze, modify, and optimize the relationship between individuals and their natural, physical, and social environments.
🌿 Holistic Approach: With a keen understanding of Environmental Gerontology, I take a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, social, and natural elements in shaping wellbeing for all ages.
🌱 Health Promotion: Advocating for health promotion potential, let's co-generate environments that provide access to Nature, regeneration, nutrient-rich food, security, biodiversity, stability, and connection for all ages.
🤝 Reciprocal-Shared Care: To be valued is a human need that does not go away with a mobility impairment, a dementia diagnosis or when we are in the 'care' of others.
Caring in, for, and with Nature nurtures Care receivers as active
agents of Care; reciprocity is paramount.
By choosing Eco Generation Consulting, you opt for a consultant with a deep understanding and passion for Environmental Gerontology, offering evidence-based and comprehensive solutions that promote health and wellbeing, happiness and connectedness for individuals, communities and organizations, people and planet!
