Nature-Based Spirituality and her Healing Powers ~ w/ Sanne Giesen

Sanne and I met through Instagram and very quickly figured out we only lived 30 minutes apart! Oh, the wonderful synchronicities of the Universe! Sanne is a wild woman, fire keeper & forest dweller. She’s a nature-based coach and holistic herbalist, inspiring others with her deeply rooted connection to the land. Can you tell why I am so excited to have her on the podcast? Her way of living inspires me beyond words and I am so happy to be able to share her wisdom with you in this episode! 



We talk about Sanne’s health journey and how immersing herself in nature has helped her healing process. She touches on the reciprocal relationship with nature we can all have: nature gives back if you give too! The abundance of the land is magical if you choose to see and feel it. We also reflect on two of Sanne’s favourite nature-based practices: the ‘sit-spot meditation’ and the ‘medicine walk’. She mentions how ‘every step is a prayer’, tying in nature and spirituality and inviting us to prioritise our connection to the land. It will give you so much in return! Sanne also talks about how nature can acts as a mirror and how she uses this in her work as a coach as well. 



This year has shown me that nature is spiritual and that human’s connection to the land is inherently spiritual as well. Sanne really lives by this philosophy as well and I am so grateful for our connection.
