ECOTHERAPY
The creative process in nature...
Nature is a powerful healing force. When we connect with the outside world we are reminded of who and what we are. Creating form from deep within our soul can have a profound effect on our own individual healing process.
I am a therapist who enjoys working in nature and in the field of personal development. I offer walking and talking sessions as well as small, creative personal growth group workshops.
Now, alongside my private practice, The Saffron Walden Therapy Room, I am pleased to be able to offer a second site 'Gaia'.
This is a walking and talking private space and a place to experience woodland bathing. Gaia is set on the edge of the Suffolk, Essex border, close by to Long Melford, Sudbury. The site consists of a 2 acre meadow with additional woodland to care for. I come here to explore, observe wildlife, meditate and reflect. It is a nurturing space.
Here is a place to experience and be present with the World Soul.
THE START...

The Story 2021...
My yurt. This is my shelter from the elements. Being in a round space is a unique feeling. The circle symbolises wholeness.
The skies here are big! There is a real sense of freedom and I am growing to love this site more each time I visit. The paths have now been cut and I am about to tackle the woodland.
The landscape is always changing. When I first came here the woodland was sparse and I was confident finding my way through. Now I have had to tie ribbons to the trees as it is dense and I can no longer follow the landmarks. Creating pathways is my next essential job in the woodland.
Wildflowers
The soil here is sandy and it drains well. I have sourced wildflower and meadow seed from ancient sites and having tested a sample, I am soooo delighted with the results. I have much to do and this year I will sow a small amount around the yurt. But first I need to hire a digger and dumper (again!) to take off existing layer. The blackberry bushes are like Triffords clawing towards my space. Unfortunately some will just have to go. This will also be a chance to dig a small water hole. Phew ... it feels like it is never ending.
