Your gateway to professional development in nature-based and animal-assisted therapies.
Our aim is to equip emerging and experienced mental health professionals to incorporate nature based approaches effectively, confidently and ethically into their current practice.
Our team are all experienced practitioners who are highly regarded in their respective mental health disciplines.
If you’re developing your practice in outdoor therapy or considering expanding beyond the clinic walls – we would love to be part of your journey. Each of our team have specialised experience areas across the lifespan, across disciplines and in specific mental health presentations.
Research continues to confirm what many of us intuitively feel, and what First Nations peoples have understood and practised for tens of thousands of years: being in relationship with the natural world supports health and wellbeing.
By integrating established therapeutic approaches with the benefits of adopting a nature based approach, we offer a way of working that aligns with best practice principles.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the lands; they are the first nations of the earth, waterways and skies where we live, work, play and learn.
We also recognise and celebrate the continuing wisdom and insight of Indigenous health practice and humbly hold the deepest respect for their harmonious relationship with the natural world.
