Cindy Dunn
Cindy Dunn left the employee benefits management field when she took up the managing of motherhood and has experienced benefits beyond calculation ever since. Having two children born eleven years apart meant two overlapping rounds of homeschooling over 23 years, winding up a couple years ago. She describes her teaching philosophy as paralleling a definition of organic – cultivating without force or contrivance – and enjoys sharing practical and creative means for nurturing students, and parents too, into full bloom.
