WHAT IS NATURE-BASED COACHING?

Nature-based coaching “involves a blend of traditional coaching practices and nature-based approaches to provide the best individualized whole-person support.” — Duncan Murdoch, Nature & Forest Therapy Guide

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE?

Like any coaching experience, it starts by identifying an opportunity or challenge you want to focus on. That can be investing in your emotional health, work challenges, reconnecting to nature, or anything in between. From there, we will spend time in natural settings and practice mindfulness, conversation, observation, and reflection—all in pursuit of your well-being and thriving in what matters most to you.

You aren’t in nature.
You are part of nature.

So nature-based coaching is a kind of coming home.

You can experience awareness, connection,
and even creativity that may not otherwise be accessible to you.

What the Research Says

  • Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels and the associated negative health impacts of stress.

  • Studies suggest that even brief exposure to nature can lower stress hormones, improve mood, and promote overall well-being.

  • Nature's restorative power lies in its ability to engage our attention in novel ways, combating mental fatigue, and energizing us through experiences like “soft fascination.”

  • By immersing ourselves in natural environments, our brains can replenish their capacity for directed attention and problem-solving.


Nature-based coaching utilizes the benefits of being in a natural environment combined with coaching practices to create a powerful combination.

It also provides the opportunity to support your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

During nature-based coaching, you may experience...

  • awareness of and tuning into nature’s rhythms
