About Our Project
Aloha, Welcome to Our Planet Therapy Collective! This project is founded by a husband and wife, high school sweetheart duo living in Honolulu, Hawaii, striving to create lasting change both nationwide and within our local community with an emphasis on the keiki (Which means children in Hawaiian if you didn't know)!
Tyler, the founder of this project, is a pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for organic farming/gardening. Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession working with individuals across the lifespan to help develop or regain skills to engage in activities that are meaningful to the individual. Tyler has been working with children of various diagnoses in the clinic and home settings for years, and has always had a bigger vision of moving children from an indoor to an outdoor environment, as much more learning, engagement, and fun takes places outdoors. Hailey, Tyler's wife and co-founder of this project, has been battling numerous chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases since 2015. Hailey has the luxury of dedicating her time to her health, self development, and of course, Our Planet Therapy Collective! After going through a wild journey of numerous health related scares together since 2015, Tyler and Hailey decided not to focus on the "safe" and "conservative" way of doing life, and instead embarked on a journey halfway across the world. Living in various places along the way, they left the life they knew for many years in New Jersey behind and found themselves settling down in Hawaii in 2021.
Now in Hawaii, Tyler, whose vision was to incorporate his passion of organic farming with his career of occupational therapy, decided to make his vision come to life. Starting in early 2022, Hailey and Tyler created development opportunities for the local keiki on the island of Oahu by offering workshops on local farms, called Keiki in Nature. These workshops consist of different topics each week that allow children to learn the basics of organic farming practices, eat clean and raw foods from the land, explore in nature, and observe their surroundings. Tyler does an amazing job of incorporating sensory integration and play-based occupational therapy into tasks on the farm, where children of all levels learn various developmental skills, as well as providing education to parents on how to assist their children along the way.

Tyler and Hailey both have experience working with children with various diagnoses including autism, CP, ADHD, and many more - so it is encouraged that families with keiki of any level come to these workshops, diagnoses or not! One of the many goals of this project is to raise awareness around autism and how it affects children and families, as well as donating a portion of the money raised through the project to an autism foundation that holders of the NFT will have the chance to vote on.
The recent pandemic has brought everyone further away from nature and each other, and closer to distractions like social media and television. Our growing keiki have missed out on so many necessary developmental skills. With mask mandates, quarantine, and social distancing - these have created huge gaps in development amongst the younger generations. This project's focus is on getting children nationwide back into nature, reaping the health and developmental benefits nature provides, and exploring the outside world with all of their senses.
Right now, as we've mentioned, we use space on local farms on the island of Oahu to conduct these workshops. The long term goal of Our Planet Therapy Collective is to forge partnerships with farms nationwide in order to expand these workshops outside of the state of Hawaii, to allow children everywhere the opportunity to participate in these one of a kind workshops. Opening a therapeutic organic farm dedicated specifically to children with or without disabilities is also in the plans! And this is where NFT's come in. Being a holder in this community goes way beyond a PFP and utilities - you are assisting in reshaping the future generations to come. Be sure to check out the RoadMap and Utilities for more information on these.
We've got big dreams to achieve and we appreciate you taking the time to learn about our project.

Our Community
Our Planet Therapy Collective strives to create a community of holders who appreciate our vision; creating options for children everywhere, whether disabled or not, to reconnect with the land and regain or develop important skills by immersing them in nature. By expanding our IRL services nationwide and executing our RoadMap, we will continue to increase the value of being a holder of our NFT's. Not to mention our Utilities are pretty sweet too!
We want to be sure our holders play a huge part in where the direction of this project goes, so it is our goal to implement community voting for all important decisions. Community is everything for an NFT project, and we want to prove to our holders that this is not just another project with no backbone. We are going to blaze a trail in the NFT space that has yet to be blazed. Join us, become part of an amazing community, and help change the future of this world!
