WHAT IS ECOTHERAPY?

Ecotherapy has emerged as a promising field of psychological practice that integrates the healing power of nature into the therapeutic process. Ecotherapy is best thought of as the shell of an egg, serving as both the umbrella and foundation that merges well-researched studies of psychology, ecology, activism and spirituality. There are many modalities and specialties within the techniques of reconnecting humans, the soul, and the planet. Some include Animal Assisted Therapy, mindfulness and mind-body stress reduction in nature, art therapy with nature, horticultural therapy programs and ceremonial practices that may extend into plant medicines and community circles. 

In my practice, I seek to empower the individual by serving as a guide and trusted council for you to connect to your true nature with Earth as a supportive ‘therapist', healer, and muse. It is my personal teaching style and interest to synthesize the magical, wise and natural elements of Earth-based practices with well-researched data, neuropsychology and scientific evidence across multiple disciplines. The goal of my personal interpretation and methodology of Ecotherapy is to foster an environment for your body and the Earth-body to interact in a way that creates optimal integrated vitality for your physical, emotional-mental, and spiritual wellbeing as well as the planet.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SESSION

You will receive one or more emails with information to be completed by an indicated date. Please do so by that date so that I can prepare best for you; I may have additional questions or suggestions based on your replies.

Your email indicates how, when and where to best prepare for your first and subsequent sessions.

Please note a strong internet network or WiFi connection is necessary.

Emails are sent out after payment and booking.

EXPECTATIONS

Much of your introductory information is covered by your answers in pre-entry packet so that we can get right into root causes and a growth plan. While I am here for your needs and to bear witness, your investment is in my expertise and guidance. I provide many opportunities at low or no cost to “vent” in sacred communities. However, research indicates that the brain cannot distinguish between the past, present, and future. It’s important to discuss trauma with the intention of energy healing, pattern recognition and the restructuring of habits into healthy self-regulation and coping strategies, without falling into the trap of “good conversation”. This is what distinguishes your session with me from other coaches and even therapists who provide wonderful talk. I meet you where you’re at with the capabilities in your reach and your solutions are customized. You leave the session with homework, strategy and scientifically supported exercises that weave the mystical within the practical rhythms of your life.

In between our sessions, you are expected to meet the agreements we’ve set forth in session. That could include ecotherapy exercises, meditations, writing reflections, and habit change that is unique to you, your dominant learning style, your responsibilities, and your goals.

This is not clinical psychotherapy. This is a program of co-creation at the root cause and redefining the standard of self-care, community care, coaching, and therapeutic interventions.

SESSION OUTLINE

A single session consists of 2-4 total emails, guided resources and a 50-minute zoom call. Please be on-time and uninterrupted. You may be assigned work before and after your session to help you reach your goals. Please complete all exercises for maximum yield.

INVESTMENT

You are investing in my time, and yours. I have dedicated two decades with some of the best trainers, education and experience, globally, to synthesize a breadth of intuitive, well-researched and applied knowledge. My value encompasses a depth that may be ordinarily garnered in four or more traditional therapy sessions and includes integration work customized to your personal and professional needs. Additionally, my pricing structure represents nuance in order to provide you with trustworthy medicine space, bonding and insurance, beautiful secluded grounds to visit and fosters the maintenance of up-to-date knowledge for your benefit. Note: Earth Medicine is never charged as it is a sacred rite.

Many clients report accelerated growth, healing, and business performance after even one session.

A standard program season is three months and can range from 12-24 sessions.

Sessions are available in single and six-packs.

“I’d wanted to work with you for a long time and honestly couldn’t afford it. I received some money during the p*ndem*c and the funny thing is after our first session and the packet you gave me, I made $800 with one client and booked a date for a women’s circle. If I had just done it sooner I can only imagine where I might be and I’m finally excited about where I’m going.”

• Alexa M. 2021

“Honestly, my head is spinning. It’s a good spinning, but I have so much to process that I’m glad you sent me a playback and the exercises to do. This is WAY more than what I am used to with my therapist and I feel like I got so much out of it.”

• Amanda K. 2020

“This was 7 years of therapy in a weekend. I don’t know what to say other than thank you…I feel so might lighter and brighter and clear and like a huge fog has lifted.”

• Elizabeth V. 2019
