Sue deRada’s love of nature began while riding her bicycle in rural New Orleans. She’s car camped, hiked, kayaked rivers, mountain streams in the Appalachian, Rocky Mountains, and at the seashores. Sue continues to be renewed in nature & exploring areas that most people never get to see. She’s backpacked Scandinavia, Europe, & Canada and most of the National Parks. Sue has experienced the thrill of looking up from the bottom of the Grand Canyon and down from the top of Mt. Rainier. Her other loves are nursing, massage therapy, yoga, meditation, and grief counseling. She wishes to facilitate healing by bringing others into nature where true healing can happen. "Join me in the solitude of nature as she fills us up in unimaginable ways.”
