 Nature-based therapy is a powerful, evidence-based practice that utilises the healing power of nature. Nature-Based Therapy involves professionally facilitated interactions with natural elements and landscapes to promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Three decades of scientific research has shown nature-based therapy to significantly improve health in the following ways: 

• Reduced blood pressure (systolic and diastolic)
• Lowered pulse rate
• Reduced stress hormone (cortisol) level
• Reduced anxiety
• Surge in the activity of cancer- and tumour-fighting blood cells (‘natural killer’ cells)
• Increased happiness and positive mood
• Enhanced energy levels
• Better concentration

Nature-Based Therapy can be a creative and adaptable approach, easily tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of individuals with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and lifestyles. Nature-based therapy can be a transformative and enriching experience that can enhance overall quality of life.
