The Therapy in the Great Outdoors podcast is about the business & practice of nature-based pediatric therapy of all kinds.

You'll learn how you can take your work with children outdoors into nature. We'll cover exactly what it takes to run a successful and profitable nature-based practice that changes children's lives (and yours!) forever.
