Welcome Nature Based Occupational Therapists!
You are invited to try on the NATURE SUPERHERO cape!
The Nature Superhero Network empowers occupational therapists to take their skills outdoors in nature with confidence and credibility.
VISION
Our vision is for therapeutic professionals to become therapeutic nature leaders and to sing from rooftops the immense value nature has in our lives for not only the sustainability of the Earth but the sustainability of mental and physical wellness for all who inhabit it.
MISSION
Our mission is to clearly articulate to future and current OT's how nature is a viable context for therapeutic outcomes. We support OT's who are suffering from burnout. We support school based OT's who may be looking to revive their love of OT by either bringing nature in or taking students outdoors. We provide OT practitioners a foundation of support through our signature course, Rooted In Rhythm. The Rooted in Rhythm framework gives you the confidence and a 6 R roadmap from ROOTS to RESILIENCE to provide high quality and effective therapy in collaboration with nature. Since we love therapeutic nature camps, we help OT's get organized if their dream is to provide a group format opportunity but need solid tips to make that happen. Finally, we make it easy and provide ready to implement nature camp plans. These plans give you all the details to run a successful nature camp.

Rooted in Rhythm - Getting Grounded Training:
Have you found that nature helps you feel better and you are more regulated when you spend time outdoors? You know in your heart that children in nature makes sense. You have a question that keeps popping up - could I actually do therapy outdoors in nature? Perhaps your belief has always been that you can only do effective therapy in traditional spaces - makes sense given that is what you know. What if I told you that you can do effective therapy in nature and it may make MORE sense than in a traditional setting. This training draws the link between OT and nature WITH EVIDENCE. The therapy context does matter. I'm not saying to disregard other therapy settings but I do encourage you to literally think outside the box. If you are a responsive, sensory integrative, holistic, heart centered therapist, this will align with your values and perspective. This training will help you feel better about what you have always known - that nature heals, that nature feels good. I created Rooted In Rhythm to connect the dots and help you feel ok with taking your amazing skill set outdoors.

Testimonial
Lisaās training provided me with clarity about how to approach treatment in nature-based OT. It provided both theoretical and concrete case examples that were evidence-based. All delivered with Lisaās passion for her work and her encouragement for you to explore your own nature-based OT path. If you are thinking about starting a nature-based OT practice, this training is a MUST!
This is just what I was looking for! A broad, yet in depth overview of OT practice in Nature and the best part-an OT model of nature practice that could be used in almost any setting. I also was really excited to see that wellbeing and mental health was discussed- highly recommend to OT's starting out in NBT! Marielise Jacobs, MOTR/L

Resources
This website offers free resources and paid resources.
The trainings support you in taking therapeutic support services outdoors into nature. The trainings do not replace formal training for your professional skills. It is assumed that you would engage in therapy services that fall within OT scope of practice and that are in alignment with licensure laws within your practice state or country.
The resources clearly connect OT to nature and give you tips and strategies that have worked for over 10 years.
