Walk and Nature Therapy

Walk and Nature Therapy

Nature can play a big role in our mental and physical health. There are many benefits of connecting with nature such as feeling reenergised, reduction in depression and anxiety; enhanced creativity, appreciation of beauty and nourishing our inner selves. Walking outside can naturally shift our mental state and emotions and leave us feeling more relaxed and calmer.

Walk and Talk

Walk and talk is as it sounds, a confidential psychotherapy session whilst walking outside together. It combines the benefits of the natural world with those of a therapy session.

Walk and talk can be a good alternative for those that might find a therapy room challenging, or simply like a change from being inside or through a device or screen.

I offer walks on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, and in the Adelaide foothills, with plenty of parks and nature trails to choose from. I follow your pace, both in the flow of therapy as well as your pace of walking.

Being in nature can help gain a sense of purpose and improve wellbeing, it can play a role in aiding healing, moving through stuckness and bring an expanded sense of self beyond our problems.  We can start to notice the elements and seasonal cycles that can help us process unavoidable changes and bring discernment to the phases of life.

Mindful soul walks

 My one-on-one mindful soul walks nourish and soothe the nervous system, build and deepen connections to the natural world and aid in fully inhabiting the body and awakening the senses.

This walking has no agenda, no fitness regime or targets to achieve. It is about coming home to the body, to the present, to the inner self, away from our roles and responsibilities.

 Soul walking is about soul nurturing. It involves directing attention to our body and our senses through a meditative like practise. It can enhance creativity, assist in quieting the mind and connect us back to self. No experience or fitness is required, I will guide you gently through the practise.
