The Rooted Wild Podcast

Hi, I'm Katherine Winkles, a recreation therapist, therapeutic horticulture facilitator, and educator. I created The Rooted Wild Podcast to make recreation therapy, nervous system science, and nature-based wellness accessible to everyday life. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself through meaningful leisure, creativity, and the restorative power of nature—one small step at a time. 

I help bridge the gap between recreation therapy research and everyday wellness. Whether you're discovering recreation therapy for the first time or continuing your own wellness journey, I'm grateful you're here.
