Curious about Nature Based Therapy? Start here!

You don't need to be an outdoor therapist to bring nature into your life or professional practice.

Nature Based Therapy is much more than taking therapy outside. It's about discovering how nature can support reflection, mindfulness, creativity, connection and holistic wellbeing wherever you are.

Join me for the Introduction to Nature Based Therapy!

During this interactive online gathering, we'll explore:
🌿 What Nature Based Therapy really involves
🌿 How nature can support mental health and wellbeing
🌿 Simple nature-based activities you can experience yourself
🌿 Practical ways to bring nature into everyday life and professional practice
🌿 How seasonal rhythms can inspire reflection and personal growth

Whether you're a helping professional or simply curious about a more nature-connected approach to wellbeing, you're welcome.

📅 Date: Saturday, 7 November 2026
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM AEDT
💻 Location: Online via Zoom

You don't need to change everything about the way you work. Sometimes, a different perspective is where it begins.

What if you gave yourself just 5–15 minutes a day to reconnect with nature?

Not another task to complete; not another thing to add to your already busy life, just a little space to pause, notice and reflect.

Connecting with nature doesn't have to mean long forest walks or spending hours outdoors. Sometimes, it begins with noticing the sky, listening to the birds or remembering a place that holds meaning for you.

I've created 30 Days of Nature-Based Wellbeing, a guided workbook designed to help you explore your relationship with nature and your wellbeing through small, meaningful daily practices.

Across 30 activities, you'll be invited to:
🍃 Connect with nature and the present moment
🍃 Notice the small details and rhythms around you
🍃 Reflect on what supports your wellbeing
🍃 Act by creating gentle, realistic habits you can carry into everyday life

30 Days of Nature-Based Wellbeing is now available as a printable digital workbook for $39 AUD.

A small invitation to make space for yourself, one moment at a time.

What is spring inviting you to explore? 🌷

Spring is a season of growth, renewal and new possibilities.

As nature begins to flourish, we're reminded that growth doesn't always happen all at once.

Sometimes it begins with a small shift, a new perspective, or simply becoming curious about something different.

In Nature Based Therapy, we explore how nature's rhythms and cycles can support reflection, connection, and personal growth.

What might this season be inviting you to notice, nurture or explore?

If you're curious about a more holistic, nature-connected approach to wellbeing, I'd love to invite you to our upcoming spring Introduction to Nature Based Therapy gathering.

📅 Saturday, 7 November 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM AEDT
💻 Live via Zoom

Together, we'll explore the foundations of NBT, nature connection, holistic wellbeing and practical ways to bring nature into everyday life and professional practice.

No previous experience needed. Just bring your curiosity!

Exciting news!
I’ll be presenting at the 2025 International Mental Health Conference on 4–5 June at the beautiful Langham Gold Coast!

My session opens the “Promoting New Approaches in Mental Health” stream, and I’ll be sharing how we can prevent burnout and promote workplace wellbeing through nature-based strategies that are simple, powerful, and grounded in evidence.

This isn’t another lecture - it’s a chance to experience nature therapy firsthand and walk away with tools you can actually use.

I’m also incredibly proud to be presenting alongside my mentor Kit Kline as we shine a light on the power of nature-based therapy to support mental health in a sustainable and complementary way.

So grateful for this opportunity to share my work and connect with others who care deeply about mental health.

I’m looking forward to facilitating Rooted in Business with Surf Coast Women in Business at Beach Willow Cafe 🌿

As a business owner and mum, I know how easily our own wellbeing can slip down the priority list while we care for everyone and everything else.

This gathering is an opportunity to pause, connect with other women in business, and reflect on how your health, energy, relationships and sense of purpose influence the way you work.

Through guided reflection, nature-based activities and conversation, we’ll explore what’s supporting you, what needs attention, and practical steps you can take—with lunch together to finish.

🌿 Sunday 29 November | 10am–1pm
📍 Beach Willow Cafe, Mount Duneed
🎟 $157 including lunch

I’d love to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. See the shared post for booking details, and come along—or invite a business friend who could use this time for herself.

Spring is calling. Let's gather in nature! 🌸

Spring is a season of renewal, possibility and new beginnings. A time to plant new seeds, nurture growth and reconnect with what matters.

What if nature could become part of the way we support mental health and wellbeing?

Join me for an interactive and reflective Introduction to Nature Based Therapy workshop, where we'll explore how nature can support:
🌿 Emotional regulation and mental wellbeing
🌿 Healing, reflection and personal growth
🌿 Mindfulness and deeper connection with nature
🌿 Holistic and trauma-informed therapeutic practice
🌿 Self-care for those who care for others

Whether you're a healthcare professional, social worker, counsellor, educator, carer or simply curious about a different approach to wellbeing, you're warmly invited.

This is more than learning about nature. It's an opportunity to experience how nature can become a teacher, a resource and a co-therapist.

🌸 Continuing to learn from nature 🌿

Today I attended Australian Bush Flower Essences training with a focus on mental health, and had the pleasure of meeting founder Ian White.

Ian brought a wealth of knowledge and a progressive perspective to exploring emotional wellbeing and the role of flower essences within a holistic approach to care.

Having worked with Bach flower essences for many years alongside my counselling work with people experiencing addiction and mental health challenges, I’m looking forward to exploring Australian native flower essences in my practice.

This also connects with what I teach in my Nature Based Therapy training: exploring our relationship with nature, including its spiritual, emotional and vibrational dimensions.

For me, spiritual and emotional wellbeing are deeply connected with mental and physical wellbeing. Caring for the whole person means making space for each of these dimensions, alongside appropriate mental health care.

A meaningful opportunity to deepen my learning and connect with the native flowers of the places we call home. 🌼
