🌿 Transforming My Garden, Transforming My Mind 🌿

🌿 Transforming My Garden, Transforming My Mind 🌿

Over the past two years, I’ve taken my garden from an overgrown tangle of weeds, crumbling retaining walls, and a cluttered space into a mindful sanctuary. 🌸 It wasn’t just about planting flowers or laying new paths; it became a deeply therapeutic process that allowed me to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with nature and myself.

🌱 Why Gardening Matters 🌱
Gardening has been shown to significantly improve mental and physical health. A meta-analysis of studies has demonstrated that participating in gardening activities (like those in horticultural therapy) can lead to: ✅ Reductions in depression and anxiety
✅ Increased life satisfaction and a sense of community
✅ Improvements in overall wellbeing
✅ Reduced stress and enhanced cognitive function

It’s not just about creating beauty—it’s a way of cultivating peace within ourselves. Research backs this up, showing that regular interaction with gardens and green spaces can serve as a powerful form of preventive healthcare. 🌿

🌳 Walk and Talk Therapy 🌳
This personal journey has inspired me to extend this healing power of nature to others. That’s why I offer walk and talk therapy sessions at some of the most beautiful gardens in the Dandenong Ranges. In these sessions, we walk together in nature, using the calming environment to help you reflect, grow, and heal.

Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or simply need a space to clear your mind, these sessions provide a unique blend of therapy and nature-based wellness.
