Ecotherapy

"Rob holds you in a most beautiful way on your inner and outer journey." - Rich

Ecotherapy is becoming evermore popular around the world and has recently been embraced by the NHS.

Over three decades of scientific investigation into ecotherapy (also known as 'forest bathing' or 'shinrin-yoku' in Japan) has shown that being guided to slow down and develop deeper connections with nature can have profound benefits for our physical and mental health.

Savernake and other local landscapes offer the possibility of connecting with the wild nature that is increasingly recognised as vital to our mental health, but they also offer us the possibility of healing with the forest.

I have worked and trained in outdoor and nature education for over two decades. As well as knowing how healing nature can be, I hope that more people making a greater connection with nature might be the panacea that both nature and humanity needs.

We all know that going for a walk in the woods makes us feel better. The nature connection that can be achieved through guided ecotherapy helps to ensure that these benefits are maximised and carried with us back into our daily lives.

Please come and join a group session or get in touch to discuss how group or individual ecotherapy sessions can help you.
