Nature-Based Coaching: Reimagining the Where and How of Client Sessions

Why do we talk about “nature-based coaching” and yet hesitate to bring more of the outdoors into our client sessions—wondering if we need extra credentials, feeling unsure about scope or safety, or questioning our own confidence? Nature connection is an ancient source of wellbeing, and this class aims to dissolve those uncertainties, empowering you to use nature as a vital resource in your coaching practice.

Join Wellspired’s own Megan Hadley, an expert in mindfulness and nature-based healing, as she reveals real-world, accessible techniques to weave nature into individual and group coaching—no matter your location, season, or client population. You’ll explore inclusive frameworks, sample ethical guidelines, and creative session structures that broaden coaching far beyond a simple walk in the park. Whether you work virtually, indoors, or outside, you’ll learn how to create transformative and legally sound nature-based experiences for your clients—and for yourself.

In this interactive session, you’ll also gain practical tools for client intake, accessibility strategies, and ways to use nature metaphors, objects, and sensory experiences to deepen client insight and wellbeing. Connect with likeminded coaches, share ideas in small groups, and leave with a renewed sense of what’s possible for your practice and your own relationship with the natural world.
