Nature & Sensory Practices

​

Nature & Sensory Practices access our sensory world, which  shapes how we feel and function. Through our connection with light, scent, sound, touch, and the natural environment, emotional regulation can be supported gently and directly. These practices cultivate steadiness through embodied experience.

Such practices as forest bathing, gardening, aromatherapy, and sensory rituals such as bath rituals and sound bathing intersect with psychology to support emotional balance, stress recovery, and embodied presence. By working through the sensory world, regulation is supported gently and directly.

​

​​These Nature & Sensory Practices part of a broader mind-body and somatic approach to mental health and are integrated within the MindBody & Somatic Therapies and Integrative Mental Health frameworks.
