Horticultural Therapy

What to expect:
- Tailored sessions in community gardens or care settings
- Gentle activities like seed sowing, sensory exploration, and seasonal tasks
- Space for reflection and connection
Authenticity
No jargon or masks – just honest, human connection.
Rhythm
Respecting the cycles of nature, healing unfolds at its own pace.
Sovereignty
You lead your journey. I’m just here to walk alongside.
