Books
Nature Heals is more than an introduction, it is an inspiration and invitation to nature-based therapies. The authors outline the multi-disciplinary skills and techniques required for a practitioner to effectively and compassionately connnect people with nature. It is richly illustrated with stories of joy and commpassion from remote desert regions of Australia to the misty waterways of Aotearoa/NZ; from hospital environments to aged care facilities, dementia-friendly gardens, mental health clinics, community gardens, farms, prisons and botanic gardens, spanning the nation from the ocean to the wilderness.
