“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than one seeks.”

- John Muir

What is forest therapy?

It is a practice based on forest bathing, Shinrin-yoku, a practice developed out of Japan that immerses people into their original environment. The forest acts as a therapist- inviting us to slow down, take a deep breath, pay attention to the present moment, remember who we are, rediscover our innate purpose and ways in which we can create and serve in the world.

Benefits of spending time in the forest:

Through immersing ourselves in nature and engaging our senses, we can glean many benefits of forest therapy such as:

  • Improved immune function

  • Cardiovascular and respiratory health

  • Reduced stress & depression 

Forest Bath Guides offers an immersive experience in nature inviting you to drop into your senses, be in relationship to the other than human world, and engage the forest and nature with a sense of reciprocity. Offering a window to the light within, nature mirrors back our gifts and a reflection of how we can serve the world.

I believe in the healing power of nature. My vision is to support human beings as they awaken their senses to embodiment and become fully present in nature and the forest.
