Nature Therapy

Reconnection & Renewal. Rooted in the natural world.

Nature has always been our original healer. Long before modern therapy rooms, people turned to the land, the seasons, and the rhythms of the natural world for balance and restoration.

Nature therapy is about remembering that connection, slowing down, and tuning in, creates deeper self-awareness and allows the earth to hold and guide us.

The Healing Power of Trees

Spending time among trees has been shown to lower stress hormones, calm the nervous system, and restore focus.

In Japan, shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing”) is a recognised practice, backed by decades of research demonstrating improvements in mood, immunity, and overall wellbeing.


But beyond the science, trees remind us what it is to be grounded, to stand tall, to root deeply, and to move gently with the winds of change.

Working with the Elements

Nature therapy honours all the elements. I work with metaphor, using each element as a way for us to connect to ourselves and something far bigger than us.

My 4-phase framework The Connected Calm Method™ brings a different element to each stage of the journey, focusing on reconnection to self, clarity and authenticity.

In nature therapy we work with:

  • Earth – through forests, woods and trees: grounding, stability, roots and ancestral heritage. A reminder of our belonging.

  • Water – through ponds, lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean: flow, release, emotional balance, the body and the nervous system.

  • Fire – through the wilds, moors, heathlands, open space: transformation, subconscious reprogramming, energy, renewal.

  • Air - through hills and mountains: breath, clarity, perspective, alignment and foresight.

I also work closely with the seasons: Each season brings its own lessons and invitations:

  • Spring – beginnings, planting seeds.

  • Summer – abundance, energy, growth.

  • Autumn – letting go, reflection, harvest.

  • Winter – rest, stillness, deep inner work.

In our sessions, we work with the seasons as guides — aligning personal change with the natural cycles all around

Awakening the Senses...

By engaging sight, sound, touch, taste, and scent, we come back into presence, using this modality as a full sensory practice.. This might mean noticing the texture of a leaf, the smell of the soil after rain, the rhythm of birdsong, or the way light filters through branches.

These sensory connections not only calm the mind but also rewire the brain for greater resilience and wellbeing, a principle supported by the field of neuroaesthetics.

The Evidence

Research into ecotherapy and nature-based interventions continues to grow. We now know:

  • Time in green spaces reduces stress, depression, and anxiety.

  • Nature exposure has been linked with improved attention, cognitive function, and immune health.

  • Regular connection with nature can enhance resilience, life satisfaction, and a sense of meaning.

The evidence echoes what we already intuitively know: that nature restores, soothes, and inspires us in ways no screen or city street can replicate.

My Guiding Principles

At the heart of all my work is neuroaesthetics, the science of how beauty, art, and sensory experiences can change the brain.

I believe transformation happens most deeply when we reconnect with beauty: in ourselves, in nature, and in the spaces we inhabit.

This is why my sessions often include sensory practices, creative reflection, and even invitations to bring more beauty into your everyday life.

Hypnotherapy becomes not just a technique, but part of a holistic, soulful approach to wellbeing.
