In her work at Rodale Institute, she is organizing the inaugural Regenerative Healthcare Conference; connecting healthcare professionals with farmers and food as medicine.

She currently serves as Vice President of the Global NGO Executive Committee (GNEC).

Outside of her many passion projects, Nadine is a classically trained opera singer & loves to find ways to communicate about systemic change through the arts. She’s currently advising "Emergence of Heart", a film project using a "feel to heal" approach to the climate crisis while weaving together critical reflections on eco-anxiety, identity, whiteness, gender, & responsibility.
Nadine lives each day with deep reverence for our Mother Earth. She spent the pandemic with her hands in the soil; apprenticing with an herbalist, learning from nature, and diving deep into a reflective purpose-discovery process through the Purpose Guides Institute, inspiring much of her career journey since then.
She lives on the unceded, ancestral lands of the Lenni Lenape people in southeastern Pennsylvania.
So why now?
Our world is standing at a crossroads. This is perhaps the most pivotal moment in human history.
Our systems— social, economic, & ecosystems— are coming to a critical breaking point.
It all began with a question:
How can I be of service?
That is the question our founder, Nadine, brought with her to the top of a mountain in Vermont for her first Vision Quest, inspired by the traditional rites of passage of Indigenous peoples from time immemorial & at the conclusion of a six-month Purpose Discovery process through the Purpose Guides Institute.
Bringing only water, a journal, & a book of matches, she sat in sacred ceremony for over 24 hours, connecting deeply with the forest & with herself.
From that experience Conscious Consulting, LLC was born.
The same social & environmental pressures we are facing as individuals are facing us as a collective— including our businesses & organizations.
So how can we be part of a paradigm shift?
How can businesses, organizations, & individuals rise to the occasion of living in alignment with our purpose & values? How can we integrate care & compassion into our core ethos?
That is what we are here to support you with.
