You want to see how we can use our OT skill set in collaboration with nature.

You love nature and want to see how your SI and holistic skill set translate to nature.
You want help organizing your thinking around nature based OT.
You LOVE being an occupational therapist. You feel it inside your bones. But the years of grinding away in a clinic setting and under fluorescent lighting has taken its toll. As a pediatric therapist you thrive using a holistic approach. Each child is a WHOLE person. But back to back patients, never-ending paperwork, and the limitations of four walls zaps your creative energy.
Nature allows you to breathe, feel refreshed, and stimulates your creative juices. You're tossing around the idea of a nature-based business. You have a vision for all that is possible using the earth as your backdrop, but where do you start?
If you’re already a nature based therapist there are times when you have doubts. You sometimes doubt the credibility of nature-based therapy. Is there really evidence to support what your doing? How is nature-based therapy different from an enrichment program? And can you really make a living?
As a budding OT I was eager to make a difference. I quickly learned that there was still SO much to learn.
As the years went by in my school-based job, I became bogged down with paperwork, meetings, and the number of children needing my help. I questioned if this system was supporting children in the way they needed to be supported. I provided inservices. I collaborated. I advocated. I cried. I empathized.
Finally I reached my tipping point. I needed to reconnect with the reason I became an OT. I needed to re-align my values as an OT and how I was serving children. I wanted to serve them holistically – mind, body, AND spirit.
It was from this desire that I launched my nature based business as a side gig and just recently walked away from my school based job for good. It was not an easy decision but was freeing in so many ways. I’m now immersed in work I’m truly passionate about. I LOVE the work I do supporting children and their families.
I want you to experience work like this where you feel fulfilled and energized at the end of the day. A place where you can use the very best of occupational therapy within the context of nature to help children of all ages build new skills and develop resiliency.
I want to use Rooted In Rhythm to move mountains of change across the globe. Will you help me? Will you join me on this journey where you can break free from the grind of a traditional therapy setting and experience freedom that only nature can provide.

Lisa’s 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 Lisa’s 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!
