Taking sessions outdoors…

What is Nature-Based Therapy?

We take our therapy outside and into the living world. We walk. We sit. We listen. This way of working welcomes the body, the senses, and the earth itself into the healing conversation.

I’m not ‘outdoorsy’… What can I expect?

This work is about being with what is — gently, respectfully, and with care. We move at your pace. We choose spaces on the land that feel accessible and supportive to you. Sometimes that means walking a forest path. Sometimes it means sitting beneath a tree or even tending to the garden together. You don’t need special gear, experience, or to “love the outdoors” — just a willingness to be present.

What about the weather?

Weather is part of the experience of bringing therapy outdoors. We honor it, adapt with it, and stay in dialogue about what feels right for you. If the weather is harsh or unsafe, we’ll reschedule or shift to a different format. We’ll work with what the day offers — always with our comfort and safety in mind.

Do we still meet outside in the winter?

If you’d like to continue meeting on the farm during the coldest months of winter, we can utilize the wood-heated stoves in our farm office. We also have the option to meet indoors in a climate-controlled office located in Johnson City.

Is this a more effective form of therapy?

It certainly can be. The work we do together is grounded in training, ethics, and therapeutic depth. And beyond that — it’s rooted in the understanding that healing does not happen in isolation. Being in connection with the living world helps regulate the nervous system, supports resilience, and reminds us we are not alone. Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, transition, or simply seeking deeper belonging — this therapeutic work is something special.
