Ecotherapy, also known as nature therapy, is a holistic approach to healing and well-being that emphasizes the connection between individuals and the natural world. Rooted in the belief that nature has inherent therapeutic qualities, ecotherapy seeks to promote mental, emotional, and physical health through immersive experiences in natural environments.

​

In ecotherapy sessions, you will engage in various activities and practices that encourage a deep and mindful connection with nature. These activities can range from simple practices like mindful walking or sitting in nature to more structured activities such as nature-based art making.

​

The core principle of ecotherapy is the recognition that humans are an integral part of the natural world, and that our well-being is closely intertwined with the health of the environment. By immersing ourselves in nature and fostering a sense of connection and reverence for the natural world, ecotherapy seeks to restore balance and harmony within ourselves and the planet.

Research has shown that spending time in nature can have a myriad of benefits for mental and emotional health. Nature has a calming and grounding effect on the nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. Additionally, exposure to natural environments has been linked to improved mood, increased creativity, and enhanced cognitive function.
