It provides clarity of mind that I cannot find anywhere else."
- Kayte, Founder

McEwan et al., 2019
Spending time in natural environments has been shown to lower cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone. This reduction helps alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety, providing a sense of calm and relaxation.
Nature exposure boosts serotonin and endorphin levels, chemicals in the brain that enhance mood. This can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and increase overall feelings of happiness and well-being.
Natural settings help restore mental energy depleted by work or technology. This restoration improves cognitive functions like focus, memory, and creativity, making it easier to concentrate and solve problems.
Engaging with nature often involves physical activity which can lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, boost immune function, and reduce inflammation in the body.
Nature encourages individuals to be present, fostering mindfulness. This practice enhances awareness of the present moment, reducing mind-wandering and promoting mental clarity and emotional stability.
Studies show that patients recovering from surgery or illness heal faster and experience less pain when they have access to natural views or spend time outdoors. The calming effects of nature on the nervous system can accelerate the body’s natural healing processes.
"My child and I have had a great experience with Kayte and her nature therapy. My child has learnt about his emotions, why he feels different things at different times, and how to name his emotions and understand them. My child loves learning about Kayte’s garden, being creative and getting to have his hands in the dirt. Kayte has a fantastic approach and is really fun, knowledgeable, personable, kind, creative and generous."
- Mum of four-year-old boy
