Hi, I am Mariah. I have been at Bochner’s since April/May of 2023. I have spent the past few years working on myself internally/depression, anger, ancestral traumas etc. I am excited about my new journey of healthy eating and working on myself externally, with the love and support from my new Bochner family. My passion is supporting and empowering others. We all have the strength to do things, sometimes we just need someone to believe in us and tell us that we can, especially if we have spent our lives with people telling us we can’t. I am a Scoutmaster to a group of teenagers in Cranston. I spend my time not only working on outdoor survival/wilderness skills with them, we also work on their abilities to control their actions and reactions to events and empower them to make their own decisions, and use their own learned leadership skills to run the program. Nothing has filled my heart as much as watching these kids grow into adults and functioning members of society.

@Lisa Seidel I am grateful to have you 💚
