Earth Embrace:
Healing Nature Photography
for life's transitions.
International published photography and the EARTH-method,
designed to calm the nervous system and offer comfort
in times of change.
A gentle and evidence-based path back to yourself through
the power of nature, light, and intuitive seeing.
In times of grief, transition, or burnout, words often fall short
because nature and light speak a silent language that reaches the nervous system directly.
I help you find calm and clarity in a space where talking is no longer a requirement.
The EARTH Method
The EARTH method is a gentle five-step pathway developed to guide you from overstimulation back to inner calm. Through a sequence of Experience, Awareness, Reflection, Transformation, and Healing, nature and photography become your mirrors for restoration.
While the method provides a soft structure, your journey remains entirely personal and intuitive.
The Science of Presence
Research shows that observing natural patterns and visual stillness reduces cortisol levels and activates the body’s recovery mode. My work is more than photography; it is a visual breathing space rooted in the science of biophilia. Because the brain perceives serene landscapes in a similar way to being outdoors, these images serve as anchors for your mental health. This mastery is recognized internationally with over 30 awards on 1x.com, the world’s most exclusive curated gallery. This combination of world class art and neurological impact makes Earth Embrace a unique tool for healing.
You can bring this soft presence into your life in various ways.
My healing sessions and quiet walks offer a guided experience of the EARTH method.
For those who want a deeper immersion, I host workshops and retreats focused on intuitive photography as a healing practice.
You can also bring a piece of this stillness into your home through my collection of fine art prints, created in moments of deep silence across the world from Antarctica to the Nordic wilderness.
Healing Nature Prints
You can bring a piece of this stillness into your home through my collection of fine art prints, created in moments of deep silence across the world from Antarctica to the Nordic wilderness. My work offers gentle support for wellbeing and restoration. Images that hold space. That quiet the nervous system. That allow you to feel connected again. Whether my photographs live in a home, a care setting, a workplace or a healing space, they are meant as quiet companions. Invitations to stillness. Openings to connection. Moments where you are allowed to simply be.
Healing Art for Healthcare and Wellbeing
Beyond individual journeys, Earth Embrace offers a specialized approach for clinical and professional environments. By bringing the healing power of the natural world into healthcare spaces, we can actively support the recovery of patients and the wellbeing of staff. These visual breathing spaces are designed to reduce environmental stress and provide a sense of dignity and comfort in moments that feel overwhelming.
From hospitals and hospices to modern workspaces, my work serves as a silent partner in care. Whether it involves large scale fine art installations or integrated visual programs, the goal remains to create an atmosphere where the nervous system can settle. This is where art meets evidence based design, transforming sterile corridors into places of connection and quiet strength.
Earth Embrace Notes
Occasional reflections and soft landscapes woven with photography, grief, and gentle living.
"Nature healed me during a very difficult time of my life"
Nanda Bussers
About Nanda Bussers
I am a healing nature photographer and the creator of the EARTH method. My journey into the art of presence began during the illness and loss of my parents when nature became my sanctuary. Through my lens, I found the breath and grounding I needed to heal, discovering a silent language in the landscape that reached me when words could not.
Today, I guide others to that same quiet restoration. While my work is featured in National Geographic exhibitions and recognized with over 30 curated awards and publications, its true purpose remains simple. My photographs are made to soothe, to soften, and to offer a pause. Earth Embrace is my invitation to return to yourself because you do not need to force your way back into balance. You can soften your way there.
What others say
"Comfort art, also known as 'Healing Nature Photography', is amazing 'touching' art. Photography art, made from the heart and soul, by Nanda Bussers. Through her work, she reflects her love for nature and humanity, which is precisely the sparkle that brings her work to Comfort Art.
Nature images and modern images made with great professional creativity and inspiration, which can deeply touch people and if necessary, besides providing comfort to the viewer, can also lead to new insights. The works are for me personally a useful tool and source of inspiration in my work as a Grief Counselor and Life Coach."

"Many thanks to Nanda Bussers for donating her lovely photo to Healing Photo Art! We place nature photos in hospitals around the world to bring color, comfort and smiles to patients. Nanda's snowdrops photo will do just that!"
Elaine Poggi (Founder Healing Photo Art Foundation)
"I had the opportunity to partake in a photography course with Nanda. What a great experience! If you’re looking for an activity to learn photography techniques and the opportunity to enjoy the simplicity of nature; this is for you. She takes the time to show you the basics of micro photography, ask questions, then deep dives into the techniques that allows you to create beautiful art.
The course is perfect for beginners to learn something new, or advance photographers to challenge their skills.
Nanda has a tremendous amount of skill. Her art is soothing and creative!"

I am grateful to Nanda. Not only is her work unique and soothing but I have had the opportunity to attend a workshop with her on photography. I really learnt a lot from her in just one day.

"I had the pleasure of getting to know Nanda during an entrepreneurial and startup business training, and from the very beginning, her presence stood out, she was calm, grounded, and deeply intentional.
As the founder of Earth Embrace, Nanda brings something truly unique to the table: a business rooted in healing, connection, and the quiet strength of nature.
What impressed me most about Nanda is how she has built her business with both soul and structure. She blends creativity with clarity, and her vision for Earth Embrace is both inspiring and deeply needed, especially in times of personal or collective challenge.
I highly recommend Nanda to anyone looking to collaborate with a thoughtful, values driven entrepreneur whose work touches people in meaningful and lasting ways.."
