About
One of my all-time favourite things is being there to witness that child-like awe expression a client gets when they discover something amazing in Nature. The smile that flings across their face while their eyes light up and they share what they see. It’s moments like these that inspire me to help more people get out into Nature.
My name is Ivie, and I am passionate about helping you find the gentle relaxation time you need with Nature. I have a calm, altruistic and compassionate demeanour that helps you feel at ease during our sessions. I will guide you along on our quiet, slow journey into Nature while encouraging you to open your senses for exploration
of the Nature space we are in.
For me, Nature Connection Walks are a way to re-connect with the more than human world, a way to slow down, be gentle and relax. It helps boost our mood and immune system, while lowering our blood pressure and stress levels. It’s a way to have all our worries melt away for a moment and to breathe in the refreshing air while clearing our minds. Nature Connection is also a way for us to tune into our bodies by using our senses to deepen our connection
with the surrounding Environment.
I believe that Nature Connection Walks are an important therapeutic approach to our self-care, it not only benefits our physical and mental health but also our emotional and social health too. In recent years, we have been so caught up in the technology/indoor movement that so many of us have lost our ways. We forget that we are Nature, not separate from it and it’s time to dip our toes into the
river of Nature connection again.
Join me for a one-on-one or a small group Nature Connection Walk to enjoy the practise of immersing yourself in Nature in a mindful way.
What is Nature Connection?
Have you noticed how relaxed you feel after spending time in Nature? The gentle sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the sunlight dancing through the leaves and the fresh, clean air - these things give us a deepened sense of comfort and wellbeing. Nature eases our stress and worries, helps us to relax and explore our senses. Being in Nature lifts our mood, increases our energy levels while refreshing and
rejuvenating our body, mind and soul.
Nature Connection is the practice of immersing yourself in Nature, in a mindful way, using your senses to enhance a whole range of benefits for your physical, mental, emotional and social health.
This is not exercise, or hiking, or jogging. It's simply being in Nature. Nature Connection Walks are like a bridge connecting you sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch with the natural world for a gentle approach of healing. Other terms for similar experiences you may have heard are; shinrin-yoku, forest bathing, forest therapy, nature therapy.
Sessions are all inclusive of all people, please get in touch if you have any
specific health conditions or requirements.
