Land-Based Therapy
Land-Based Therapy is a culturally enriched approach to healing that has been around for many centuries, acknowledgeing the deep connection between individuals and the land they inhabit. Rooted in Indigenous wisdom and practices, this therapy recognizes the profound impact that the environment can have on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
At Lil' Steps Wellness, our Land-Based Therapy approach goes beyond traditional therapeutic practices by integrating land-based activities and cultural teachings. This holistic approach aims to address a wide range of concerns, including mental health challenges, the intergenerational effects of colonization, and the exploration and strengthening of identity.
