At the end of lockdown, I was approached by filmmaker Chiara Brambilla about making a film about the healing power of nature. Always keen to share my story and demonstrate that chronic illness need not define a person, I felt humbled to be given such an opportunity to share my love of the great outdoors.

After the filming locations were scouted and the schedule planned, the crew came up from London and spent the weekend filming with me up in Cheshire.

We visited some of the locations that have been instrumental in my journey from breaking my back and experiencing anxiety and depression to starting my healing journey.

A Dose of Nature, directed by Chiara Brambilla is an award-winning short film that explores the relationship between nature and mental wellbeing,

In the film I briefly touch on my journey, sharing how nature has played an instrumental part in my ongoing healing journey and the fundamental role that nature therapy now has in my everyday life.

For others living with chronic pain and mental health challenges, the hope is for the film to showcase the intrinsic simplicity and power that nature-based therapy holds, whilst demonstrating that we can find both hope, and healing there.

Award Winning Short Film

When I finally got to see the finished film it was everything I’d hoped for and more and I’ll be sharing it with you soon.

It’s beautifully shot (check out the teaser trailer) and with an atmospheric score, to date, A Dose of Nature has won ‘Best Short Documentary’ at the LA indies film festival, ‘Best Short Documentary’ at the New York Arthouse Film Festival and has been selected at the Toronto Indie shorts festival and the @sundayshortsff in London.

Throughout the filming process, the team was amazing to work with and whilst the weekend of filming was tiring and full-on, it was an absolute pleasure and a wonderful experience I’m honoured and proud to have been a part of.

The film is currently doing the rounds on the international film festival circuit and will be released soon. In the meantime, you can watch the short teaser below.
