Bespoke Home and Community Based Sessions:

We incorporate outdoor walks, hikes, and gardening into therapy plans to improve physical fitness and provide a calming environment.

Working with animals like horses or dogs is part of our therapy programs to help build trust and emotional connections.
-
Activities like obstacle courses, den-building, and gardening foster creativity, teamwork, and physical coordination.

We work creatively to make outdoor spaces accessible for all our clients. This includes designing wheelchair-accessible paths, creating raised garden beds, and ensuring that all outdoor areas are safe and easy to navigate.
-
Each therapy plan is tailored to the individual’s needs, incorporating nature-based activities that are meaningful and purposeful for the client.
-
We work closely with other professionals, families, and caregivers to ensure a holistic approach to therapy.
By integrating these nature-based strategies and ensuring that outdoor spaces are accessible, we aim to optimize function, independence, and quality of life for our clients.
Benefits of Nature-Based Occupational Therapy:
-
Engaging in activities like hiking, gardening, or playing in natural settings can improve physical strength, coordination, and endurance.

Spending time in green and blue spaces (parks, gardens, lakes, rivers) can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also boost mood and overall mental health.
-
Outdoor activities can provide opportunities for social interaction, helping clients build connections and improve their social skills.
-
Nature can inspire creativity and provide a calming environment, which is especially beneficial for those dealing with stress or mood disorders2.
-
Interacting with animals can be transformative, reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and nurturing emotional well-being.
