Wilderness Therapy

Do You Want To Integrate The Healing Benefits Of Nature Into Therapy?

Are you feeling stuck and unmotivated in life? 

When you witness the current state of the world, do you often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed?

Have you been looking for a way to not only improve your mental health but also engage more deeply in creativity and self-expression?

It’s no surprise that many of us feel disconnected and burnt out these days. Maybe you’re facing a life transition that’s left you with self-doubt and uncertainty. You might be dissatisfied with your job or challenged by a current relationship. Or maybe you feel disconnected from your true self and seek a new way to access your own intuition and wisdom.

You Could Be Craving A Deeper Connection To The Natural World

Perhaps the anxious thoughts and low mood you experience are heightened by your interaction with technology. Whether it’s doomscrolling into the wee hours, comparing yourself to others on social media, or spending hours at work staring at a screen, you may be feeling hollowed out and depleted by technology. Although your inner brilliance may be searching for ways to feel better, looking to your phone for solace can be a trap that keeps you stuck, leading to anxiety and depression.

Despite the many benefits of living in the digital age, you may yearn for a deeper connection with nature. If you have tried traditional therapy without much success, it’s time you consider incorporating the healing benefits of the outdoors into your mental health care practice. Incorporating the natural world into therapy sessions not only helps you access what your body and mind need to heal, but it can also help reveal your soul’s purpose.

Wilderness Therapy Can Cultivate A Deeper Connection With Nature And Guide You To Your Soul’s Purpose

At our core, we are each a part of the natural world. However, in today’s technologically advanced world, many of us have disconnected from where we come from. We often find ourselves spending most of our time indoors, glued to screens rather than connected to nature, which can lead to heightened anxiety and a sense of feeling stuck and burned out. 

But it’s time we find our way back. Wilderness therapy helps us remember who we are and access the brilliance within us that is our birthright. Similar to the Japanese custom of forest bathing, outdoor therapy acknowledges the abiding wisdom of nature to ground and heal us.

Communing In Nature Is Medicine For The Soul 

As a nature therapist, my first objective is to make sure you feel comfortable and safe in the forest. I will take special care to meet you where you are, whether you’re used to spending lots of time outdoors or are less familiar with a natural setting. No matter where you’re coming from, I will follow your cues and move at your pace.

We begin each session with a meditation so you will feel relaxed and open to exploring your environment. From there, therapy will be improvisational, weaving together various modalities with interactive experiences inspired by the surrounding nature. Using the external environment as a metaphor for internal thoughts and feelings allows you to see what’s happening in your life with fresh eyes.

In wilderness therapy, you can:

• Learn how to ground into the earth and benefit from its healing qualities 

• Hone resources to regulate challenging emotions

• Break from technology and access more creativity and expression

• Connect with your soul purpose

• Forge a connection with the natural world that you can continue to cultivate wherever you are

What Drew Me To Nature-Based Therapy

Like so many people, when I first discovered nature therapy, I was searching for something deeper in my own healing journey. I’ve always felt soothed and comforted by the natural world, which made this work a natural fit for me. Since finding a nature therapist in Colorado who would eventually become my mentor, my life has changed. 

My time spent in nature, both as a mentee and therapist, has connected me to my soul purpose. My spirituality has awakened deeply, and the breadth and depth of my life have expanded in ways I never would have dreamed of. Witnessing these same kinds of transformations unfold with my clients has been a sincere honor and privilege. 

Wilderness therapy is the perfect antidote for today’s fast-paced, tech-dependent world. In nature, you can slow down, quiet your mind, and access deeper wisdom. Through the healing and self-exploration that’s only possible in the woods, your soul can find space to reveal itself to you.
