“I describe nature as my co-host, it’s a facilitator in itself… I feel like there’s some sort of ease when I take people outdoors, that I’m not doing it on my own, that I’m in partnership with nature”

Leah Davies, a Somatic Life Coach, joins us from Cardiff, Wales, to share her experiences of working with people who have experienced loss.

Somatic Coaching focuses on being embodied, in the moment and Leah has found that taking her clients out in to nature really helps to support the emergent themes of Somatic Coaching.

Describing nature as her partner and co-host, Leah shares examples of clients who’s whole state has shifted, and solutions to their challenges have emerged, simply from seeing blossom on the magnolia trees. Something that could never have happened indoors.

Leah is also working on developing her coaching practice further by offering her “Grief in Nature Programme” that can be accessed online, providing a way to share the benefits of nature with people further afield.

Leah is very candid and open about her own experiences with loss and grief, as well as how nature has helped her to feel more connected and able to accept her loss.

“The four element; in a simplified medicine wheel, earth, air, fire and water, are also part of our bodies. We are nature” ~ Raynelle Rino

Nature connection lies at the heart of Raynelle Rino’s work from her early career as an ecology field researcher; then grassroots environmental educator and social justice organiser and now nature-based consultant and coach. She joins us from her home in Oakland, also known as the Ohlone Land/Confederated Villages of Lisjan though her roots trace back further as a second-generation Pinay whose parents immigrated from The Philippines in the late 1970s.

Raynelle’s spiritual journey mentored by Meso-American Traditional Healer, Curandra elder, Tereza Iniguez-Flores to explore her lucid dreams and guided by Master teacher, Manursuro Virgil Mayor Apostol in Kallukuan Combat Healing Arts rooted in the indigenous sciences of Northern Luzon (Philippines) have shaped her coaching philosophy and principles around her ‘Radical Nature Framework’.

Spirituality, ancestral and nature connection lie at the heart of this episode where Raynelle graciously and openly shares her story back through inter-generational trauma and more recently in toxic work environments. These experiences and self-awareness enable her to create explorative coaching spaces on group ‘Healing Hikes’ where her presence and the power of silence enables deep communication with self and nature.
