of the Moon, St. Anthony Sand Dunes,
and explore the Snake River flowing out of
the extraordinary Grand Teton Mountains.
Or take a short trip to the south to visit Salt
Lake City or Park City, Utah, to name but

We guide our patients on how to utilize
Nature and make it a vital component
of their wellness program even once they
return home. One example we use to
educate patients on the power of Nature
to heal is the scientific literature on
“charismatic macrofauna,” which is medical
terminology for “charming and fascinating
big animals.” Viewing big animals in nature
has been shown to have positive impacts
on human health and well-being. You
may want to think moose and buffalo in
Yellowstone as an example.

Once the foundation of healing through
Nature is established here, we then teach
patients how to incorporate Nature into
their lifelong wellness programs, even once
they return home. No matter where they
live around the world.
