An experienced expert on regenerative systems, Jean-Gardner (or Gardner, for short) is a nature intuitive with expertise in technology, research analysis, group facilitation, and healing. As a polymath who is also neurodivergent, he brings a unique perspective into his work. He grew up on a 4th generation family homestead farm and ranch in central Oklahoma. One of his earliest influences was his grandmother, a half Cherokee-Seminole plains curandera who taught him the ways of the natural world. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in pre-med Chemistry and a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.
