"Nature Connection is an Inside Job"

Mindfulness Rooted Ecotherapy is a holistic, multi-sensory approach, integrating elements of mindfulness and nature connection approaches. It is suitable to support the work of healthcare professionals, counsellors, educators, mindfulness practitioners, and other holistic health professionals. The principles behind Mindfulness Rooted Ecotherapy are:

·      Nature-connection as one of the most important puzzle pieces needed for physical and mental health. 

·      Accessibility for all: Some situations prevent clients to get physically out into nature. There are still so many possibilities to connect to the natural world with a creative approach that thinks outside the box.

·      Honouring individuality: Every person is different and for some clients certain parts of this modality might resonate more than others. In addition all clients have their personal needs, sensitivities, aversions (possible trauma) and preferences. It is of utmost importance to honour these differences in this approach. EcoGem Therapy lends itself to tailor sessions individually for every client, and elements are freely combinable in addition to the practitioners’ own expertise and offerings.

·      Multi-sensory approach: We are multi-sensory beings and need the information of our senses to experience and connect to our environment. EcoGem Therapy incorporates a multi-sensory approach to achieve maximum integration for the benefit of health and well-being. Sessions can be adapted for both indoor and outdoor settings.

·      We can’t have healthy humans on a sick planet: EcoGem Therapy honours the health of humans as well as the health of all living beings and our planet as a whole. We are all part of one system and if the planet is unbalanced, so are all the living organisms. We encourage practitioners to support this attitude in their work with clients and beyond.
