Martice Scales
Martice is the co-founder of Full Circle Healing. Martice has a deep passion for growing food and caring for the earth. Having grown up in poverty, Martice brings a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience of social injustice. For over six years, Martice worked closely with those experiencing homelessness, before pursuing his passion to work with the land. Martice is passionate about working with those who are disenfranchised and believes that one way to heal our broken world is to simply remember that all people, regardless of their circumstance are people and should be treated with dignity and respect.
When Martice is not working on the farm, he works part-time in a prison reentry program designed to address unresolved, underlying trauma that predicates anti-social and criminal behavior and heightens the risk for ongoing criminal system involvement.
Martice is a certified Reiki 2 practitioner and loves to be able to help people holistically heal through his Reiki sessions. He also enjoys writing fiction, learning to play the djembe, watching and practicing martial arts, camping, trying to troubleshoot computer issues (sometimes successfully), and relaxing with his wife and sons.
Amy Kroll-Scales
Amy is the co-founder of Full Circle Healing. When Martice told Amy that he wanted to be a farmer, she jumped right in on this dream as she had always wanted to be a farmer growing up. Amy is the primary caretaker of the herbs and the flowers on the farm.
Amy also has a passion for working and advocating for those who have been abandoned by society. Amy is licensed psychotherapist, specializing in trauma. She strongly believes that all deserve to have access to healing of their mind, body, and spirit. Amy is passionate about food justice and reducing the stigma around mental illness, homelessness and poverty. Amy has worked for the majority of her adult life with individuals who are experiencing homelessness, trauma or who are in the midst of a psychiatric crisis.
Amy enjoys playing piano, being outside with her family, reading, cooking, camping, creating new herbal products and spending time with Martice and their sons, Mason and Maxwell.
Mason Kroll-Scales
Mason is six-years-old and loves to be outside and on the farm. His particularly enjoys finding “dinosaur” bone rocks, digging for worms, using his cutting shears to kill thistle, throwing rocks into the pond, climbing rock piles, tilling the ground and asking if he can have screen time.
Mason loves all things Marvel, camping, swimming, playing with his brother Max and his 21 cousins, math, reading, pretending to be a ninja and pretty much anything sport related.
Mason loves to tell his friends at school that he is a farmer.
Maxwell Kroll-Scales
Maxie is two-years-old and loves to be on the farm. He loves to climb the rock pile, dig for worms, smell the herbs, follow his brother around, throw dirt and dig up the plants we just planted. Max loves animals and is very excited for the chickens coming in 2022.
Max loves “cooking” meals for us in his kitchen, coloring and painting, playing chase, climbing things, playing dinosaurs, and being outside. Max loves change his name and will regularly demand that he be called to Catboy, Chase, Bumpy the dinosaur or one of the numerous superheroes he loves.
