Nature Family Therapy (NFT) is a new healing paradigm that understands humans as a part of, not apart from, one kinship web with all of life. Instead of pathologizing distress, NFT reframes it as Nature Family Grief — the multigenerational pain of modernization, industrialization, colonization, and urbanization (MICU). Through systemic practices of kinship, we transform this grief into resilience, restoring wholeness in individuals, families, and communities of people and beyond. NFT is more than therapy — it is a radical movement for reconciled kinship as requisite for co-flourishing.
Ready to Transform Pain into Purpose?
Our Mission...
To restore wholeness by reconciling kinships across human and beyond-human relations, transforming Nature Family Grief into Nature Family Resilience through practices of re-indigenization - the rewilding of our otherwise enslaved beingness.
Our Vision...
A co-flourishing world where humans live as one Nature Family — honoring, embracing, actualizing, and liberating pain into shared transformation of grief to resilience. Through research, therapy, training, and community conversations, NFT envisions a global movement that unseats pathologizing frameworks with kincentric and systemic wholeness. NFT guides individuals, families, and communities toward co-flourishing with all beings, human and beyond.
My Pain to Purpose Story
The Situation
Years ago, I sat in therapy, carrying pain from my ancestors, my childhood, and my adult life. I wanted healing. I wanted wholeness.
But the more I searched through conventional approaches, the more fragmented I felt—like something essential was missing.
Years later, now a therapist myself, I saw that same longing in my clients. We weren’t broken individually—we were hurting together, from a much deeper wound. I realized that true wholeness wasn’t just about personal healing. It was about remembering that we belong to something bigger.
We belong to a living, breathing family of life.
For generations, we’ve been taught that humans are separate from everything else—separate from animals, plants, waters, lands, and even each other.
We have built a world around that separation. And it shows—in our loneliness, in our grief for the Earth, and in the quiet ache many of us carry without knowing why.
The Complication:
This story of separation has hurt us more than we realize. We see it in broken relationships.
We feel it in anxiety and sadness that never fully goes away. We hear it in the silence when another species disappears or when wild places are lost forever.
And even though therapy and healing spaces try to help, they often miss the bigger truth: we can't heal fully if we stay separate from the family we come from—the family of life itself.
The Question:
How can we find real healing when the deeper wound—the separation from our living world—still lingers inside us?
How do we find our way back to belonging?
My Answer:
I created something called Nature Family Therapy.
It is not about going backward. It’s about going home—to a way of being where we know, deep down, that we are part of a living, breathing family. This is re-indigenization! Where trees, oceans, mountains, animals, and people are all kin. Where pain becomes purpose, and healing becomes belonging.
So we ask you: Are you ready to come home?
Are you ready to heal not just for yourself, but for all your kin—seen and unseen, human and beyond?
The path begins now. With you. With me. Together, we can rise and remember what we were always meant to be: one family, one world, one living story.
