Experience the healing power of nature and therapy.
Ecotherapy takes therapy outdoors and into nature.
When we can take ourselves out into nature, and place our dis-regulated nervous systems in a regulated environment - ease, safety, and support is amplified and the natural world becomes a supportive extention of our work together.
Our physical environment can aid in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental health challenges, and more specifically, our exposure to natural environments can have many added benefits. Green space is linked to lower stress levels, less anxiety, fewer depression symptoms, increased relaxation, increased clarity, and supported regulation of the mind, body and spirit. When you spend time in a natural environment, you’re more likely to use your senses to experience your surroundings. Calming sounds, like birds chirping or the rustling of leaves, can help you detach from traffic, work conflict, and ordinary stressors of everyday life and allow us to move more deeply into our work together.
