Natural Approaches to Optimal Wellness Integrating EcoWellness into Counseling
Nature heals—but how we reconnect with it matters. This book offers a grounded, research-based approach to weaving nature into mental health practice and everyday life. Whether you're a counselor, educator, or simply someone seeking deeper meaning and connection, Natural Approaches to Optimal Wellness explores how nature can support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
Written with clinicians in mind but accessible to curious readers, this book blends science, storytelling, and practical guidance. It’s an invitation to rethink how we define wellness—and where we find it.
