Frequently asked questions
At Katherine’s Healing Nest, we believe in the power of nature and gentle spiritual renewal to facilitate trauma-informed care. This FAQ section is designed to answer your most pressing questions and help you understand how our eco-therapy services can benefit you.
What exactly happens during an eco-therapy session?
Eco-therapy sessions at Katherine’s Healing Nest are carefully structured and trauma-informed. The session flow is guided to ensure you feel safe and comfortable. You don’t need any prior experience with animals or nature. The experience involves regulated nervous systems, repaired attachment patterns, restored feelings of safety, embodied healing and long-term transformation.
Is eco-therapy a real therapeutic approach, and does it actually help with trauma, stress, or anxiety?
Yes, eco-therapy at Katherine’s Healing Nest is a clinically meaningful method supported by research. It’s not just a wellness activity, but an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapeutic approach that often succeeds where traditional talk therapy alone is not enough.
What's the biggest misunderstanding you want to address?
The biggest misunderstanding is the idea that eco-therapy is simply “being outdoors” or a relaxing nature activity. While those elements are part of the experience, our approach goes far deeper. It’s a structured, trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic model designed to support meaningful emotional and physiological healing.
Do I have to interact with animals if I’m nervous or unsure?
No, animal interaction is always gentle, optional, and supervised. We understand that animal-assisted therapy can feel intimidating, and your comfort is our priority. We ensure everything is paced with your comfort in mind.
What's the number one reason people might hesitate to try your services, and how do you address that?
The number one reason is uncertainty about what the experience involves and whether it will feel safe. We address this by clearly explaining what to expect in an eco-therapy session, emphasizing that it is guided, trauma-informed, and tailored to your comfort level. Nervous system safety—not performance—is the entire focus.
