The Niche Program
“This program was designed to help others by using nature and its properties to introduce a change in thought and behaviour patterns,” says Mark Perticone, Instructor and Guide. “Here you can find your healing niche with a therapeutic experience to help you reflect and learn to think and behave properly, those who are not in need of therapy will enjoy more time learning about the surrounding environment.”
The Niche Program provides service to those with bipolar disorder, alcoholism, chemical dependency, depression, schizophrenia, and adults of all abilities, we also cater to business and nature retreats. Groups or one-on-one sessions can be registered online or by phone.
