“THE WORLD IS NOT A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED; IT IS A LIVING BEING TO WHICH WE BELONG (..) UNTIL WE DON’T GO TO THE ROOT OF OUR IMAGE OF SEPARATENESS, THERE CAN BE NO HEALING.”
- Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee-
Do you want to feel connected to your inner and outer nature? Would you like to let go of limiting beliefs and destructive patterns and replace them with self-support? Are you ready to receive the vitality and richness of life?
Then you’ve came to the right place.
My Approach
In my work as an Ecopsychologist, I guide people towards reconnecting with nature to improve both psychological and physiological health. Through the combination of Ecopsychology, Mindfulness and my knowledge on foraging wild plants my approach is holistic, science-based and integrates working with mind, body and spirit.
My work is based on the following principles:
Ecopsychology
The teachings are rooted in the understanding that human beings are in a mutual relationship with the rest of earths ecosystem. This approach recognises that the wellbeing of the individual is interrelated with the wellbeing of the whole, our ecosystems and communities. In contrary to conventional psychology, Ecopsychology recognises that we store trauma in our body as a result of our separation from Nature. Healing therefore requires balancing our inner and outer through remember our role in the web of life. Ecotherapy is the application of Ecopsychology translated into hands on practices in and or with nature.
Mindfulness
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -Viktor E. Frankl
Through the practise of mindfulness, we become aware of destructive patterns and limiting beliefs that we unnecessarily hold on to. We learn to observe the space in which thoughts arise and through that gain access to consciously choose which thoughts we want to go along with. This awareness allows us to regain ownership over how we respond to our thoughts and actions.
As a certified mindfulness teacher, I guide people through this process and help them to be more present and receptive for the here and now.
Foraging
Foraging is the act of gathering wild edible foods like leaves, flowers, fruits and roots. I like to teach people about edible plants and respectful foraging as a practice to build relationship with the more-than-human world. Besides eating wild plants is nutritious and offers various health benefits.
