healing power of being in nature

I’ve seen it over and over again—someone steps into a garden or a forest, and their shoulders drop. Their breath slows. They remember.

The science is catching up with what our ancestors always knew: Nature heals.

Being in green spaces reduces stress, improves focus, lowers blood pressure, and boosts immune function. But more than that—it re-centers us. It reminds us we belong.

At Back to Roots, I work with people who are neurodivergent, overwhelmed, or just feeling lost in the modern world. Therapeutic gardening and forest walks offer a return to rhythm. To body. To breath.

Whether it’s your hands in the soil or your feet on a mossy trail, nature will meet you exactly where you are—and invite you back into balance.

Come walk with me sometime.
