"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~ Albert Einstein

Deborah Holmén, M.Ed., is a master gardener of both flora and minds, cultivating growth in the most unexpected places. When she's not elbow-deep in soil or knee-deep in research, she's penning memoirs, ghostwriting for biohackers, and crafting content that bridges the gap between complex science and everyday wisdom. Despite her analytical nature, she embraces the transformative power of both soil and language, trusting in their ability to create positive change.

As a retired National Board Certified Teacher, Ms. Holmén has spent over 25 years tending to the fertile minds of countless students. Her classroom may have changed, but her mission to nurture growth remains unwavering. In her writing, she explores various topics, ranging from neuroscience in education to family psychology and biohacking for longevity.

Ms. Holmén holds a Master's in Teacher Leadership and incorporates her passion for education, personal growth, and Mother Nature’s wisdom into her work. Her masterworks include her unconventional memoir, "It Takes A Lot of Sh*t to Grow Beautiful Flowers: A Gardener's Guide to Life," ghostwritten works for an award-winning biohacker and doctors, and numerous articles that translate scientific jargon into actionable life advice.

When she's not typing away, she's busy discovering new gourmet experiences in her kitchen. Ms. Holmén enjoys unearthing life lessons from adventures with her husband and convincing skeptics that even the messiest parts of life can nurture beautiful growth. A former denizen of the classroom, she now resides in her own personal Eden in Ocala, Florida, where she continues to sow seeds of knowledge and reap the fruits of lifelong learning.
