CORE CALM®TREATMENT FOUNDATION
Sensory Experience
Relaxing and diverse sensory stimulations of a natural environment are ideal for working with body awareness and mindful presence.
Outdoor Skills
A solution for over stimulation of modern life and screens. Attention is placed firmly in the present to remain in physical engagement with the world while solving for natural consequences.
Positive Introspection
Creating a bridge of parallels between the processes in nature and life’s experiences. Stories and symbolism evoke acceptance, organic thought, personal insight and the development of intuition.
Nature-Based Mental Health is Rooted in Relationships
Clients are more regulated as mind and body become connected. Social-emotional & awareness skills mirrored in nature are developed to manage stress, anxiety and depression.
