Dr Dimity Williams - Nature, Our Medicine


Listen Later

Our featured speaker is Dr Dimity Williams, Author of "Nature, Our Medicine"

 

Dr Dimity Williams is a writer, nature lover, and family doctor. She has completed additional training in obstetrics, paediatrics and mental health, particularly mindfulness meditation.


Dimity has worked in environmental advocacy with multiple organisations. She is an alumna of the Centre for Sustainability Leadership, a co-founder of the Kids In Nature Network, and founder of Doctors for the Environment Australia’s Biodiversity Special Interest Group. Passionate about integrating nature into healthcare, she has written and spoken about the ‘nature: health interface’ in various forums and delights in issuing nature prescriptions. 

Her first book, Nature, Our Medicine: How the natural world sustains us, is described by environmentalist Dr Bob Brown as "a life-changing proposition. It takes us through the rapids of our high-stress world to the calming balm of nature – Just like rafting the Franklin.”
