Kit Kline is the founder of internationally recognised modality Nature Based Therapy. Born in Canada, she is a decedent of the Wampanoag people on her paternal side and is a member of the Sou’West Nova Metis Council. Kit has always felt a strong connection to her Native American ancestry and believes her philosophy on health and wellness derives from this connection. She has worked extensively in the social and community services sector for the past 20 years specialising in mental health and addictions.

Healthy Minds Geelong's vision is to create a positive culture of mental health across the Geelong region.
The HMG concept was born out of an identified gap in local mental health support services and in particular the need for a dedicated local information hub to help connect the community to local services, navigate the mental health care system and ultimately empower people to look after their mental health.
