Meet Kit Kline
Kit Kline, the founder of Nature Based Therapy, was born in Canada and moved to Australia when she was 10. She is a decedent of the Wampanoag people on her paternal side and is a member of the Sou’West Nova Metis Council. Kit has always felt a strong connection to her Native American ancestry and believes her philosophy on health and wellness derives from this connection.
She has over 20 years’ experience working as a counsellor and educator in the social and community services sector with both public and private health services, specialising in mental health and addictions. She established the modality Nature Based Therapy® due to the success she was having with the people she was working with when she incorporated ‘nature’ into her work practice.
