We were surrounded by woods, shooting stars, and wild life. Jen was incredible and super helpful. The hike we chose to do was challenging and rewarding. The emerald pool was gorgeous. Rico, one of the dogs, greeted us and even did the hike with us. He was an added bonus to the trip. Definitely want to make this a yearly tradition!

This place was amazing in so many ways. My husband I were looking for a special way to celebrate…read moreour first anniversary, and we found it. We stayed in the Robin's Nest cabin, which was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The wood stove was fabulous and kept us warm in the chilly but mild fall evenings, and I'm sure it would put out plenty of heat for a winter stay as well. We were the only guests on the property, so it was QUIET and so, so serene. I'm sure if other guests were there it would still be both of those things. The cabins and yurts are spread out and hidden in the woods, so privacy is always possible. There was a yoga class on Saturday morning that we missed (we decided to sleep in, too cozy), but I'd love to try that when we return. And we couldn't return too soon. The caretaker Erica had just arrived to take over for the winter, and she was so gracious and friendly. She left us sweet notes and made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. On Saturday we got to use the sauna. The SAUNA. Oh lord, if this lifetime gives me one gift let it be a sauna like that one. Erica went early to get the fire going and we were welcomed to the most beautiful sanctuary with plenty of fresh water for drinking and bathing, some snacks, and flickering candles. We spent a couple of hours moving back and forth from the steamy cedar benches to the woods outside on a rainy evening. It was heaven. Molly the resident cat came and hung out with us several times. She was so sweet and funny, and very polite. If you want her to leave just show her the door and she'll waddle happily down the path. We were sad to leave on Sunday but also so grateful for the time we had together in the Maine woods, and grateful to have found this wonderful spot. A couple of small things...see 5 stars above, these are minor issues, but could be useful to future guests: The grounds are perched onto the side of a mountain, and some of the buildings are separated by steep paths. This means that this place would not be a good option for people who have serious physical limitations (with exceptions). While the website does mention things like "a short climb by foot" it could be more clear about how rugged the site is. For people who live and work there these climbs are a piece of cake, but for others it might be a real challenge. For instance, the Harmony cabin is right next to the yoga studio and group space, so that would be ideal for those looking for accessibility. But if you wanted to take a shower, it's a *steep* hike up to the Pioneer cabin where the showers are. Just something to keep in mind if you or someone in your party might need accommodations. Also, one comfortable reading chair in the cabin would be a big bonus, especially for longer stays. The rocking chair in the cabin is TINY, neither my husband or I could sit in it comfortably. Overall, Nurture though Nature is a wonderful place and you will feel blessed to spend some time there. We can't wait to return!

I saw Mrs. McCann for 9 months and got progressively worse in her care. Her attitude in session…read moreis very unprofessional, including improper dress, staring at the clock so many times you wonder if she is listening to you and not seeming to care at all. Her improper dress was distracting on a few occasions, even thought I asked her to fix the problem right there in session, she did not, which caused her to accidentally expose herself to me. I called on many occasions and asked on many occasions for a 2nd appointment in a week, needing extra help, she not only would not see me a second visit in a week, she often just did not return my calls on such matters. In sessions where sex was a topic, she often closes her eyes and looks away saying "it was too graphic for me". Seriously? I am at a psychologists office who cannot handle talk of sex? What CAN you handle, because my discussion about sex was not graphic at all, she just didn't want to hear anything about it?. What kind of issues does she think that people are coming to her for? I would imagine psychologists hear way more stuff than I was putting out there. It got to the point that I had to hold back on stuff to say in session, this is not good, that is not good care, I have to hold stuff back to worry about offending her? I could go on and on with other stuff, but will keep this short as possible, hopefully this gives you an idea. You are probably better off with someone else. I am in the process of filing a complaint on several matters that are confidential with the New Hampshire Psychology Board for some actions that are unethical.
