Daniela Krasnanova
Founder | Director
Interdisciplinary Designer, Researcher, and Holistic Practitioner. Daniela's work spans multiple mediums, drawing from research-based design grounded in integrity stemming from personal knowledge, an appreciation of beauty, and the intersections of psychology, creative practices, and a deep reverence for nature and its protection. Her practice centres on creating interventions that support mental health by strengthening our bond with the natural world—expressed through board games, art installations, landscape design, and film production. With a foundation in both scientific research and artistic intuition, Daniela explores how our psychological and emotional well-being is intrinsically linked to our connection with living systems. Her designs don't simply incorporate nature—they invite us into relationship with it, fostering spaces and experiences that nurture both people and the planet. Over her career, she has crafted around 500 gardens and landscapes, with 11 of her installations receiving awards at Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) shows. Her profound connection to nature, evident from childhood, became professionally recognised after earning a degree in Garden Design in 2011, followed by a Master's in Sustainable Design in 2021. Daniela's work bridges design, ecology, art, psychology, and environmental stewardship—guiding others to reconnect with the healing wisdom of the natural world and become active participants in its protection.
Dr. Lucie Turner
Director
Lucie has spent 20 years as a clinical psychologist in mental health, using her expertise to explore life, work with illness, and support healing. The last decade has been dedicated to deepening her connection with the nature within and outside herself, through shamanic and herbalism apprenticeship and a dedicated spiritual and creative practice. With her wealth of experience, she accompanies individuals on their path of growing through trauma, offering both individual and group therapy, along with ceremonial sessions. Her approach weaves the best of the new wave of trauma informed therapies with ecotherapy / nature-based therapy, ritual and ceremony. This approach seems to honour the importance of our individual soul paths, while also connecting people to the wider web of life. This is a holistic approach to physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. Nature is a powerful teacher, providing a compassionate mirror to us at time of crisis, helping us to see our true essence as well as work with both the familiar and hidden parts of ourselves. Nature can be a gateway for a spiritual connection and/or a felt sense of inter-connectedness that is so needed in our modern times.
