Nature therapy
Nature therapy harnesses the healing power of natural environments to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. At Rē, our location in the jungle at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, provides an optimal setting for experiencing the therapeutic benefits of nature immersion and the earth's natural healing energies.

How does it work?
When we spend time in nature, our bodies are exposed to beneficial negative ions - charged particles that can influence our physiological state.
These ions, abundant in natural settings like beaches, forests, and near moving water, help regulate our nervous system and promote a state of calm.
Additionally, direct contact with the earth (grounding) and exposure to natural light helps reset our circadian rhythms and promotes the production of vital hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate mood, stress response, and overall wellbeing.

Backed by science
Research in environmental medicine and neuroscience demonstrates significant health benefits from nature exposure.
Studies published in the International Journal of Environmental Research show that time in nature reduces cortisol levels by up to 15% and blood pressure by 2-6%. Research in the Journal of Environmental Psychology documents improved cognitive function and creativity after nature immersion.
Additional studies have shown that exposure to negative ions increases serotonin levels and improves mood, while grounding reduces inflammation markers in the body.

Benefits of Nature Therapy
Nature immersion has shown promise in:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved mood and mental clarity
- Enhanced immune function
- Better sleep quality
- Accelerated recovery from illness or injury
- Increased energy levels
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved creativity and focus
- Enhanced emotional wellbeing
- Strengthened mind-body connection
Integration with other modalities
Nature therapy is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.

Sympathetic Dominance Protocol
A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.

PEMF & Infrared
Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.

Photobiomodulation
Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).

Cold Thermogenesis
Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.

Gut Healing Protocol
Reduce harmful bacteria and parasites, heal the gut lining and encourage growth of beneficial bacteria to boost the immune system and gut-brain connection.

Anti-Inflammatory Diet
A diet and supplement protocol designed to reduce inflammation, reverse deficiencies and boost neurotransmitter production.

Heart Rate Variability Training
Up-train the parasympathetic state to lower the baseline of stress, reduce overwhelm and enhance recovery and emotional regulation.

Bodywork
Boost parasympathetic response, reduce tension, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Art & Cooking Classes
Encouraging creativity, authenticity and play. Classes include painting, macrame, chocolate-making and a Mexican cooking class.

Breathwork
Breathwork can elicit the parasympathetic nervous system response and, in some cases, euphoric or insightful experiences.

Drop-in therapy
Bite-sized sessions with a certified mental health professional to practice emotional processing as the opportunities arise.

Functional Movement
With resistance to improve muscle tone and coordination, mitochondrial function and neurotransmitter production.

Nature therapy
The healing effects of nature; grounding and negative ions from waterfalls, beaches, jungle with low-impact, endurance exercise.

QEEG & Neurofeedback
Brain mapping to measure and assess electrical activity, followed by directed Neurofeedback to improve brain function.

Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)
Restore the body's natural mechanism for releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma.

YOGA & Working-in
Integrate mind, body and energy, improve mood, reduce stress and build strength, flexibility and balance.

Compression Suit
To improve circulation and lymphatic drainage to get rid of cellular waste and enhance regeneration.

Temazcal
An ancient Mesoamerican ritual using heat, steam, herbs and chanting for purification of the mind and body.
