Coaching: Frequently Asked Questions

Nature based coaching combines supportive conversation with the grounding benefits of being outdoors. Walking or sitting in nature can create space to pause, reflect and process what you're experiencing. It can be particularly helpful when life feels overwhelming, offering a relaxed environment to explore thoughts, build clarity and consider what comes next.

Nature has sustained humans from the very beginning, providing us with shelter, food, medicine, clean water and a place to belong. I like to think of nature therapy as a gentle return to that source.

Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, lower blood pressure and quiet the mental chatter that often keeps us feeling overwhelmed. Walking side by side, rather than sitting face to face, can make it easier to talk about the things that feel hardest to say. The movement, fresh air and natural surroundings create space to slow down, reflect and simply be.

Nature also reminds us that growth is rarely instant. Seasons change, trees lose their leaves and bloom again and healing often happens quietly, one step at a time.

That's the heart of Touch Grass. Sometimes, the first step towards feeling better is exactly what the name suggests: stepping outside, touching the grass and giving yourself the space to reconnect with who you are.

Absolutely! I want my service to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. Before we begin, we'll have a conversation about your needs and complete a risk assessment together. We'll consider things like accessibility, mobility, and any potential risks to make sure the location is suitable and feels comfortable for you. If an outdoor setting isn't the right fit, online sessions are always available, so you can still receive the support you need.

I love being outdoors in all seasons, but your safety and comfort always come first. Nature-based sessions are generally available for around 10 months of the year. During November and December, we'll usually meet online instead, as colder temperatures, shorter days and potentially hazardous conditions can make outdoor sessions less practical.

In a world where we're constantly distracted, I believe many of us have lost touch with ourselves. We become so caught up in the demands of life that we forget to check in with what we truly need.

Nature offers us the opportunity to slow down. Whether it's the sound of birds singing, leaves rustling in the breeze, or simply the stillness around us, spending time outdoors can help us reconnect with ourselves. It reminds us to pause, breathe, and notice what's been there all along.
