Nature Therapy CIC developed from the passion of Dr Kim Brown who forty years ago noticed improvements in the quality of life for patients who were able to spend time outside. Kim is a nurse, midwife and teacher who specialised in working with vulnerable children and adults. She has always been interested in mental health and researching the impact of nature - this led her to spending five years traveling the world for her Doctorate in Health Science and researching the many different ways nature impacts on human wellbeing through the senses.
