Dr. Fisher is fascinated by the restorative properties of engaging in nature and speaks extensively about the need for more green space in schools, clinics and communities.

A self proclaimed 'suburban backyard forager', Dr. Fisher spends as much time as she can outdoors tending her gardens, feeding the birds, hosting the bees, kayaking rivers, biking trails and hiking with her co-therapists when they are 'off duty'.
