Welcome
Hello there, welcome to Deeper Nature Devon. My name is Emma and I am an ecotherapy practitioner who lives by the wild edges of Dartmoor, near to Exeter. I support people to deepen their relationship with nature for their wellbeing, healing, growth and living a more soulful life.
I offer one-to-one ecotherapy sessions, as well as nature-based groups, and I am accredited to deliver the NatureWell programme.
As an eco-depth practitioner I also offer dream work sessions, either in nature or online.
Wholeness and recovery
Nature is whole in all its diversity and expressions. Ecotherapy is a process of remembering our wholeness. Deepening our relationship with nature is a process of embodied healing and recovery of our Natural Self. It offers the opportunity to cultivate our wholeness as we embrace and integrate the fragmented parts of ourselves that we previously may have hidden or pushed away. Just like a great tree that has weathered many storms and carries scars and broken boughs, we too are whole, even with all our wounds and tender parts. Like the tree, these parts lend to our uniqueness and soul’s beauty. In fact, our tender parts and wounds hold the key to the inherent resources, potentials, and unique soul gifts that can be discovered through our deepening relationship with nature.
Who might benefit from ecotherapy?
Our modern world with all its stress, demands, trauma and disconnection from the natural world can be challenging. Ecotherapy can be helpful if you are experiencing any of the following (but not limited to):
- Overwhelm
- Stress or burnout
- Unprocessed anger
- Anxiety, low mood or depression
- Feelings of loneliness
- Grief (including eco-grief)
- Low self-esteem
- Feeling disconnected from your body
- A sense of being lost or fragmented
- Life transitions, such as peri-menopause and menopause
It can also help us when exploring the bigger questions and longings of our life, such as:
- Cultivating a sense of belonging, meaning and purpose
- Deepening relationship to ones sexuality and eros life force
- Desire to connect with the deeper call of your soul life
- Exploring spirituality
