Restorative niche is a term developed by the psychologist Brian R. Little and popularised by Susan Cain to describe spaces (and, metaphorically, times) within one's life which make it possible to re-connect with the true self after immersion in the social self or persona.^[1]

Developed from the work of Rachel and Stephen Kaplan on the healing environment, the restorative niche is a more individualised concept, allowing for different spaces/times offering different possibilities, often at a micro scale from one person to another.^[2]
