Wild Heart Woodland Connection
Passionate about connecting you with your inner nature, each other and the natural world around us
Laura Davis - Outdoor Counsellor and Celebrant.
Wild Heart Woodland Connection was founded through my love of nature and my awareness around the benefit of that relationship – both for ourselves and the planet. It started as I began to move my counselling practice outside, grew as I started to offer groups and workshops, then blossomed as I trained to perform ceremonies and celebrations. Whatever beliefs you hold about the power of nature connection, we all know that spending time outside is good for our minds, hearts and souls. I want to help people remember their connection to the natural world as well as offer opportunities to bring people together. I do this in different ways…
Outdoor Counsellor
As an experienced outdoor counsellor offering sessions in East Grinstead and Ashdown Forest, I bring years of indoor therapeutic expertise into a natural environment to enhance the healing process. I am passionate about helping individuals connect with their inner selves, the natural world, and each other through a variety of therapeutic options. You may be looking for outdoor counselling, nature connection or to join a workshop or group. You might be looking to offer a different kind of wellbeing experience for your team or colleagues. Whatever calls to you, I provide a unique space for growth and transformation, with the help of the woodlands around us.
My approach integrates traditional therapeutic theory with the calming and revitalising benefits of working in nature. By working outside, I can offer a more dynamic and holistic experience, where the natural world becomes a part of the therapeutic journey, fostering openness, grounding, and connection. Whether you’re seeking support for mental health, personal growth, or anxiety/stress relief, my practice offers a number of services that offer different paths depending on what you both want and need on your journey.
Celebrant
As a trained celebrant I offer unique and personalised ceremonies in Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
Personally I have always loved bringing people together to celebrate significant life events and have a strong belief in the importance of rites of passage ceremonies. It is always such an honour to be a part of such celebrations.
I have been celebrant at a number of traditional (and not so traditional!) ceremonies and bring a calming yet enlivening energy to any ceremony or celebration.
I conduct weddings, naming (or welcoming) and vow renewal ceremonies as well as other rites of passage celebrations.
“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
The Healing Power of Nature
What are the Benefits of Working Outdoors?
Engaging in therapeutic activities outside offers numerous advantages that enrich both body and mind. Whether you’re practicing mindfulness, conducting therapy sessions, or simply enjoying nature, the outdoors provides a powerful healing environment. Key benefits include:
- Health Benefits: Fresh air and natural sunlight can boost your immune system, improve cardiovascular health, and increase energy levels, promoting overall physical well-being.
- Mental Wellbeing: Time spent outdoors reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, while enhancing mood, focus, and creativity. Nature’s calming effect encourages mindfulness and relaxation.
- Connection with Nature: Being in natural surroundings fosters a deeper connection with the environment, helping individuals feel grounded and more present. This connection promotes a sense of peace and balance.
- Therapeutic Growth: Outdoor settings can enhance therapeutic practices by encouraging openness and vulnerability. The soothing atmosphere of nature often helps individuals process emotions more effectively and engage in personal growth.
