Thrive in Nature™ Training, Licensing and Community
Thrive in Nature™ is the six‑move, evidence‑informed framework developed at Coree to support stressed and sensitive nervous systems using nature, movement and meaningful occupations. We now offer a pathway for Occupational Therapists and organisations to learn, license and implement this framework in their own services.
Thrive in Nature™ Practitioner License Program
The Thrive in Nature™ Practitioner License is a 6‑week hybrid CPD program and licensing pathway for Occupational Therapists and allied health leaders who want to deliver structured, evidence‑informed nature‑based participation programs.
Practitioners receive:
License to use the Thrive in Nature™ framework in their OT practice
A structured 6‑week learning program (live and self‑paced)
Program manual and session structures for 1:1, group and community‑based work
Outcomes and reporting templates aligned with disability and public health priorities
Proposal language and tools for working with organisations and government
Access to an ongoing online community of Thrive in Nature™ practitioners
The program is designed to support OTs to meet their CPD requirements through structured education, interactive sessions and reflective practice directly related to occupational therapy practice in nature‑based and participation‑focused settings.
Investment and intake:
Investment: $6,500 AUD per practitioner
Payment plan available (deposit to secure place)
Limited cohort places per intake.
All licensed practitioners are invited into a private online community focused on:
Real‑world case discussions
Implementation support and problem‑solving
Sharing resources and examples
Ongoing professional connection
This community supports ongoing learning and reflective practice beyond the initial 6‑week program.
Publications: THRIVE in Nature – A Nervous System Map for Real People
Alongside the practitioner program, Shannon’s book Thrive in Nature™ – A Nervous System Map for Real People offers a practical guide for people with stressed and sensitive nervous systems who want to use nature, movement and everyday occupations to recover and grow.
The book can be:
Read by clients, families and support teams
Used by clinicians as a shared language and reference
Integrated into nature‑based programs and groups
Our services show how Thrive in Nature™ can sit within a multidisciplinary, nature‑based approach that addresses nervous system regulation, physical capacity, participation and connection.
