- Book 1 of 1: Nature-Informed Practice Series
A groundbreaking guide for therapists, educators, healthcare workers, and helpers who want to bring nature into their practice — ethically, practically, and with heart.
What if the most powerful tool in your therapeutic toolkit isn't a technique — but the living world outside your door?
The Ground Beneath Our Work introduces Nature-Informed Therapy (NIT) and Nature-Informed Care (NIC), a flexible, evidence-informed framework for weaving nature into clinical practice, education, healthcare, faith communities, and everyday helping roles.
At the heart of the book is the ROOTED™ model — six practical mechanisms for integrating nature into professional care:
- Regulate Attention
- Open the Senses
- Optimize Dosage
- Tend Relationships
- Enact Reciprocity & Meaning
- Design the Setting
Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan draws on over 20 years of clinical experience, her own research, and the ancient wisdom of Indigenous and land-based traditions to offer:
- A 30-day implementation plan with session tools and trackers
- Clinical case stories showing NIT in action
- Practices for diverse settings — from therapy offices to schools, hospitals, parks, and nursing homes
- Guidance on ethics, safety, equity, and outdoor group facilitation
- Tools for addressing eco-grief, climate anxiety, and nature-deficit
With a foreword by Robert J. Wicks, Psy.D., author of It's Good to Be Lost Once in a While (Oxford University Press), this book is both a practical manual and a quiet invitation to remember: we have never not been in relationship with nature.
For licensed clinicians, counselors, social workers, psychologists, educators, chaplains, park rangers, coaches, and anyone whose work involves caring for others.
"I cannot recommend this book highly enough." — Mark A. Salvatore, MD, MS, Harvard Medical School
"A deeply human and clinically usable resource." — Dr. Christine Lynn Norton, Professor of Social Work, Texas State University
"This book has forever changed how I sit in my own backyard." — Thomas R. Medema, Former National Park Service Associate Director

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
