Houseplants Can Improve Mental Health

  • Nature and Healing

  • Nature and Healing

I’m not a morning person. In fact, I love nothing more than staying all cozy in my bed in the mornings, especially when it’s cold outside. In fact, up until a few years ago I described myself as a night owl, often rolling my eyes […]

  • Nature and Healing

How to Embrace the Darkness and Learn to Slow Down

  • Nature and Healing

2020 has been quite a year so far and my optimism of one year ago seems very far away. At this time last year, I accepted a job and purchased a house just 30 miles south of my home town. Filled with excitement about reconnecting […]

How Clouds Can Help Us Meditate

  • Nature and Healing

My small windowless office frequently made me feel as though the days would never end. Fortunately, I didn’t have to spend too much time in there. I worked on both the inpatient and outpatient units. This allowed me to spend a good amount of time […]
