Are you looking for a coach to help you through burnout, grief, a divorce, or a career crossroads? Someone who can truly help you find calm and clarity again? Consider nature coaching. More and more people in the Netherlands are discovering the healing power of coaching in nature – and now there’s scientific evidence to support it.
A recent study from the UK by Annabelle Charman shows just how effective nature-based coaching is during major life transitions such as career changes, burnout, loss, or entering a new phase of life.
As a nature coach at Little Dutch Farm – a regenerative farm in Wijdenes – I see the power of this approach every day. And it’s wonderful to see science now confirming what I experience with clients in the field.
Why is nature coaching so effective during life transitions?
1. Reconnecting with yourself
Nature helps you slow down, reset, and reconnect with your feelings and intuition. In times of grief, stress, or big change, it’s easy to lose your sense of self. Nature invites you to pause, feel, and come back home to who you are at your core.
2. Deeper connection between coach and client
Because nature coaching is so experiential, it often creates a deeper bond. A bird call, a tree that catches your eye, a symbol in the landscape—they all become part of the conversation. It makes the process more meaningful and impactful.
3. Nature becomes part of your daily life
Afterwards, many clients develop their own simple nature rituals: a quiet Sit Spot, walking barefoot in the grass, or a daily walk to clear their mind. Nature becomes an ongoing source of calm and strength—even outside the sessions.
4. Full presence, no distractions
No screens, no notifications. Just you, your coach, and the natural world. That kind of focused presence is rare in our busy lives. But in that stillness, space opens up—for insight, clarity, and healing.
5. Support for identity shifts
Whether you’re starting over, recovering from loss, or stepping into a new version of yourself—nature gives you permission to release what no longer serves you and discover who you’re becoming. Nature coaching offers the time and space to reflect and realign with your inner compass.
