Why we exist
The pressures on our National Health Service are greater than ever, with rising mental health challenges, especially among young women and girls, leading many to seek alternative routes to education, support, and care. A Force of Nature was created to meet this growing need by offering accessible, holistic, and science-backed support to those who need it most.
We believe that we are nature, and nature is us. When we reconnect with the natural world and our innate rhythms, we tap into the foundation of mental and physical well-being. This connection is at the heart of everything we do.
The Wisdom of Ancient Healing & Modern Science
Our work is rooted in Ayurveda, one of the oldest healing systems in the world, with principles that have shaped the foundation of modern medicine. Ayurveda teaches us that true wellness comes from the balance of mind, body, and environment.
Alongside this ancient wisdom, we offer hypnotherapy, a therapeutic approach supported by decades of scientific research. Studies have shown hypnotherapy to be effective in reducing anxiety, managing chronic pain, and improving mental health outcomes. (For example, a 2019 review in Frontiers in Psychology highlights its proven benefits in mental health and pain management.)
By combining these time-tested and evidence-backed methods with Yoga and holistic education, we empower people to heal, grow, and regain a sense of agency over their own health journey.
Our Pilot Programme – Working Women Walk
In partnership with Sustrans, we are proud to launch our first pilot initiative: Working Women Walk. This program brings local women together to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the beautiful, often forgotten green spaces in our community. These walks are more than exercise. They are opportunities to enhance well-being, share stories, and build supportive connections that inspire growth and possibility.
Along the way, we’ll explore community projects and spark ideas for how we can shape healthier, more connected lives. Who knows where this journey could lead us?

We are strategically based in Cotmanhay, Ilkeston, one of the most deprived areas in Derbyshire, because we want to be accessible where the need is greatest. Your support enables us to deliver vital resources to women, young girls, families, and professionals across housing, health, and social care sectors.
