Amber is a homeschooling mom of four. Her third ignited her passion of nature and was the inspiration behind starting a forest school. Amber has extensive sales and marketing experience and has served on the board for several NPOs. She is passionate about Jesus and natural living - both of which have also fostered her love of natures beauty and benefits.

What We Do

Communities

Getting homeschool families connected to nature and each other is a BU priority. There’s so many physical, educational, and spiritual benefits to spending time outside and making it part of your child’s education. This is the primary focus of BU.

Outreach

Communities

Barefoot University offers financial aid to provide forest school for homeschool families who are not financially able to join our program.

We are so passionate about the benefits of nature and nature education, we are also taking BU into low income areas and have a plan to reach public schools with our program so that all kids can experience the Barefoot philosophy.
