HEALING 101: Nature Prescriptions - Small Ways Nature Can Help When You’re Struggling with Alexis Johnson

Welcome back to Healing 101. Today I’m joined by Alexis Johnson, Nature & Wellbeing Officer at the RSPB, and we’re talking about something I found genuinely eye-opening: nature prescriptions - a simple, supportive way for healthcare professionals (and other trusted adults) to encourage people to use nature as part of their wellbeing toolkit, without it feeling like yet another thing to “get perfect.”We unpack what nature prescriptions actually look like in practice, how they’re different from being referred into a group or service, and why nature doesn’t have to mean a countryside walk - it can be as small as noticing light moving across your wall, listening to rain at night, or spotting weeds pushing through the pavement. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, time-poor, or not remotely a “nature person,” this episode is full of low-lift ways to reconnect, reset, and feel a little more grounded.Find out more about Nature Prescriptions: https://www.rspb.org.uk/helping-nature/what-we-do/nature-prescriptionsStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodYouTube: youtube.com/@hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
