Have you ever stood beneath a tree and wondered what it has witnessed? Seasons of growth and loss, storms and stillness, change and renewal. Yet through it all, the tree remains rooted.
In a world that often urges us to move faster, achieve more, and ignore our need for rest, trees offer a different lesson. They teach patience, resilience, adaptability, and the quiet strength that comes from staying connected to what truly matters.
The Tree as Coach invites you to discover the wisdom of trees through the lenses of nature coaching, ecotherapy, and personal growth. Combining scientific research, inspiring stories, reflective exercises, and practical insights, this book explores how the natural world can support wellbeing, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
Whether you are navigating a life transition, seeking a deeper connection with nature, or looking for new ways to grow and thrive, the lessons of the forest offer valuable guidance. Learn how trees can become powerful coaches, helping you build resilience, find clarity, strengthen your roots, and create a greater sense of belonging in an ever-changing world.

“As a Walking and Nature Coach, I recognise so much of what I read. I enjoy the many metaphors between nature and human life and greatly appreciate the creative way in which different fields of knowledge are connected throughout the book.”
— Tiemen de Lange, Walking & Nature Coach
Cat Boersma is a trauma-informed nature-based coach, psychosocial therapist, and the founder of Bluebell Coaching. Her work sits at the intersection of nature connection, somatic awareness, personal growth, and human transformation.
With a background in coaching, psychosocial therapy, and body-oriented approaches, Cat supports people in reconnecting with themselves, their bodies, and the natural world. She believes that nature is not only a place to visit, but a powerful partner for reflection, insight, and change.
Through The Tree as Coach, Cat brings together her experience as a coach, therapist, and nature practitioner to explore how trees, seasons, and natural cycles can become meaningful metaphors for personal development and coaching conversations.
Her approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that growth does not need to be forced — like a tree, we all need the right conditions to develop, adapt, and flourish.
