Experience the healing power of nature through Outdoor Therapy sessions

Nature is innately healing, I like to utilize that. Nature has a profound way of calming the mind, grounding the body, and enhancing emotional clarity, making it an ideal backdrop for personal growth and healing. Some people are comfortable with the outdoors and some people will be totally new to the local parks. This is an experience for anyone and I will make sure to keep the difficulty to the client’s preference. We can do a combination of gentle stroll and sitting amongst the water and trees or a more intense hike, depending on preferences.

Whether you’re working through stress, anxiety, grief, or simply looking for clarity and balance in your life, the natural setting offers a powerful complement to traditional therapy. Additionally, the combination of physical movement and the soothing effects of nature can enhance your overall sense of well-being, making it easier to process emotions and gain new perspectives.

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku is mindful immersion into nature. It came about in Japan in the 1980s as a response to our tech heavy lives. You’ll be invited to engage with the natural environment—whether through mindful walking, taking in the sights and sounds around you through your senses, and/or reflecting on how nature mirrors life’s cycles and changes. The peaceful surroundings can help foster deeper self-reflection, promote mindfulness, and encourage a renewed sense of possibility.

I will post Forest Bathing Workshops or online events here.

I invite you to activate your senses, practice curiosity, stillness, awareness, and silence. Refreshing your mind and allowing your body to recreate its bonds with nature. Cultivate gratitude and connection with the natural world.
