Introducing a Holistic View of Mental Health: The Healing Power of Nature

April 18, 2024

Mental Health

At Atlanta Specialized Care, we recognize the profound connection between mental, physical, and emotional well-being. One of the many approaches our team takes is a holistic approach to health and wellness, and we are proud to have Bre Curtain as one of our therapists on our staff. Bre is deeply committed to holistic principles in her work with clients.

In our recent collaboration with The Aha! Connection: Bre explores the significant benefits of spending time in natural environments. Her insightful article examines how immersing oneself in nature can positively impact psychological and physiological wellness. Extensive research shows that time outside can calm the nervous system, slow heart rate, and improve mood and cognition.

Bre’s thoughtful recommendations are supported by studies demonstrating nature’s powerful effects on the mind and body. Bre writes, “The mental health benefits of being in nature can be profound.” We feel honored to have such a caring and compassionate professional on our team.

For those seeking to enhance their health and healing, Bre invites readers to “consider stepping into nature.” Her holistic philosophy and therapeutic approach help clients thrive at Atlanta Specialized Care. We hope her wisdom on the restorative power of nature inspires you as well.
