The Theory of Comfort was developed by Katharine Kolcaba in the 1990’s when she was a graduate student.

outside. Summer consisted of enchanted forests, while the winters transformed into wonderlands. The outdoors was somewhat of a storybook to me. It held my imagination and dreams. To me nature has not become a symbol of my childhood, but also a place of comfort. There is no judgment, rather a sense of freedom.
