🌿 Limited Spots for 2024! Experience the Science of Healing with Root Down Horticultural Therapy 🌿
Did you know that immersing yourself in nature doesn’t just feel good, but it’s actually backed by science? Research shows that spending time in natural settings can lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental clarity. 🌳✨
At Root Down Horticultural Therapy and Counselling, we combine this powerful effect of nature with focused therapeutic conversations through our unique walk and talk therapy sessions. Picture yourself walking through the lush landscapes of the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens or the tranquil pathways of the Olinda Botanical Gardens, engaging in a conversation that helps you untangle your thoughts, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself.
🌱 Why does this work?
1. Nature improves mental clarity and lowers stress: Studies have shown that simply looking at natural landscapes, such as forests, mountains, and gardens, can activate areas of the brain that promote relaxation and reduce mental fatigue. It’s called “Attention Restoration Theory,” which explains how being in nature helps our brains rest and recover from the overstimulation of daily life.
2. The movement adds to the healing: Walking naturally reduces levels of stress hormones like cortisol, and when paired with reflective conversation, it enhances emotional release and improves mood. Moving through scenic environments further deepens this connection, allowing you to gain perspective and clarity.
3. Scenic views boost happiness: Research from environmental psychology reveals that views of nature—particularly expansive, panoramic landscapes—trigger positive emotional responses, promoting feelings of awe, peace, and joy. Combining these views with therapy creates a holistic approach to well-being, enhancing the benefits of traditional counselling.
