Healing Landscapes
Designing for Wellness
Transforming outdoor spaces into therapeutic environments where people don't just visit nature—they feel fully alive.
The Challenge
Beautiful parks and landscapes are everywhere, but many visitors pass through without truly engaging. They're present but distracted, missing the profound health benefits that nature offers when we interact with it intentionally.
Our Approach
We partner with architects, institutions, and organizations to embed evidence-based therapeutic design into landscapes. Drawing on neuroscience, forest bathing principles, and the Four Roots Method, we create spaces optimized for healing—not just aesthetics.
The Science
Research shows that intentional nature engagement:
Reduces stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels
Improves cardiovascular health and immune function
Enhances cognitive performance and emotional resilience
Activates critical sensory pathways through vestibular stimulation
Our designs leverage air ionization near water features, monoterpenes from specific tree species, varied terrain that engages the whole body, and sensory-rich environments that promote multisensory integration.
