Meet Cath

nature space consultant & researcher (Australia)

'I didn’t realise how much I needed to take a step back and look at where I was sitting in this whole journey…..some of the content...makes you look at yourself and where you are and where you want to be. It was a process that I didn’t know I needed but it certainly has helped me on my journey'

'I’ve connected with OTs all across the globe - the group calls are amazing. After each call my cup is filled and I’m excited to hear what everyone else is doing.'

Meet Meg - from Canada

'The course helped me to feel more rooted in how to communicate why this (nature) is OT and where the evidence is that supports that'

Meet Celia - from Australia

'There was lots of sharing, heaps of information and a whole lot of encouragement to just get in there and start somewhere'

Meet Niamh - from Ireland

'It was absolutely fantastic and delivered everything I hoped it would.

I loved the way the information is delivered…..It’s unbelievable the amount of information. I really loved meeting other OTs and giving myself time to delve into this information. It’s really pushed me down the road into developing my business in the way I want to do it.'

Anna - community paediatrics (England)

‘Bronwyn’s been brilliant at providing templates, videos, powerpoints, lots of different ways of engaging in the course – a really supportive facebook group where you make great connections with other individuals who are also interested in incorporating nature into their professional practice. The resources have been really great to help focus think about your mission, what you want to do, why you’re doing it and lots of different formats that support different learning styles.’

Karyn – acute hospital (Australia)

‘I’m so enjoying the challenges you set us each week. The amazing references you are sharing along with your own experience and knowledge…I am finding it thought provoking and I am beginning to feel a new type of me, combination of my OT training and those things in life I value and cherish creating a new way forward for my working life. It has made a change in my current role in which I feel more confident and knowledgeable in suggesting/recommending people get out of their homes every day into nature. This will be a life changing experience.’

Annette (Australia)

‘I think your format is really innovative! Time to reflect, and the chance to interact has never been part of any course I've ever done before, but it makes the learning stick. You're really onto something.’

Tyson – rehabilitation and indigenous health (Australia)

‘Doing this nature stuff is not just something nice to do, it’s grounded in evidence and it’s absolutely OT (the course content, the models, the evidence – it’s an occupation). It’s a little easier to ‘sell’ to other people now.’

Cathy – paediatrics (Australia)

'I’m inspired…I feel a bit ‘lighter’ about going to work - that’s massive, that’s worth millions. It’s really nice to think about being able to combine my work as an OT plus my passion, that’s really exciting.'
