In this introductory course on Nature Coaching and Ecosomatic coaching, we’ll guide you on a journey of self-discovery and inner growth in synergy with nature, harnessing the power of embodiment, nature connection, and contemplative practices like mindfulness and meditation.
If you’re looking for an empowering personal growth journey, this course will support you in reclaiming your natural connections and cultivating them in your daily life.

- Unearth the deep benefits of reconnecting body and Earth, expanding your self-confidence, clarity of thinking, creativity, problem-solving and decision-making
