Nature is ever-changing and full of growth. It reminds us that we are too.
Nature-Based Coaching weaves the wisdom of te taiao, the natural world, into personal growth, fostering deep connections with yourself, others, the earth, and the greater web of life. It highlights the profound impact of nature on our overall wellbeing - supporting mental, physical, social, and spiritual health, while cultivating a sense of responsibility for Papatūānuku, our earth, and her future.
This practice is about stepping out of ‘doing’ and into ‘being.’ In nature, we attune to the rhythms of the seasons, the changing world around us, and the shifts within ourselves. Te taiao becomes our kaiako (teacher), guiding us back to intuition, creativity, and self-trust. It’s an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the voice within.
Time in nature sharpens our bodily awareness and senses. The landscapes we move through reflect inner landscapes, revealing insights that often get lost in the rush of daily life. You’ll discover what truly nurtures you - and what does not.
This approach offers clarity on your hidden potentials, helps you recognize the paths available to you, and supports confident, intentional choices. With this awareness, you can take meaningful steps toward positive change - not just for yourself, but for the world around you.
What is
Nature Based
Coaching?
Nature learns and adapts, continuously creating a dynamic balance.
Stepping into this work-
What to
expect
In each session, you lead the way. I will help support you, but the agenda is yours. As we take a hīkoi (walk) or noho (sit) in nature, together we explore your thoughts, feelings, and needs, with te taiao as our guide. Our focus is on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you wish to be- uncovering solutions, and discovering the steps that help you chart your course forward.
What’s important to you?
What choices are you making?
Are they aligned with the life you want to live?
This process considers not only your personal development but also your connection to your whānau (community) and your relationship to the whenua (land).
We’ll draw on practices from ecotherapy, mindfulness and sensory awareness to help you connect with your body and become more aware of certain areas that respond to stress or emotions.
Presence is the first step
A connection to what is unfolding in this moment
Thinking is welcome, so is feeling
Nature is inventive, capable of finding creative solutions and initiating innovative processes
