The Science of Nature, Coaching & Therapy.
A growing body of research shows that aligning therapeutic and coaching interventions with nature significantly enhances mental well-being and leadership resilience. For example, nature-based therapy was found to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms with medium-to-large effect sizes in a large multi-site trial. Likewise, “walk-and-talk” coaching in natural settings showed measurable reductions in burnout and improved psychological health. The underlying mechanisms include nature’s ability to restore attention, lower stress hormones, and foster deeper self-reflection — all powerful in leadership and transformational work.
