Imagine.

 

You wake up feeling light. The constant buzz of stress has softened, and instead of rushing through your day, you move with clarity and ease. You experience an upwelling of patience.

​You understand yourself and feel seen. The tension you once carried no longer weighs you down, and you feel like a better parent, partner, friend, colleague. 

​​This is Nature Therapy & Wellness...

Nature Therapy: More Than Just a Walk Outside

What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin Yoku, is a research-based nature practice originating in Japan in the 1980s to combat rising stress and chronic illness in a rapidly urbanizing society. 

 

During a session, participants move slowly through a designated 'bathing forest', engaging their senses with gentle support from a trained guide.​​

​

A growing field of scientific research highlights the health benefits of forest bathing. Time in a forest setting has been shown to lower stress hormones like cortisol, reduce blood pressure and heart rate, support physiological balance and much more. 

The goal is individual wellbeing.

It's everything forest bathing is, AND more. While Forest Bathing centers on sensory awareness and physical wellbeing, Nature Therapy expands your experience beyond the individual health benefits.

 

In my sessions you’ll receive the benefits of forest bathing and experience the practice of evidence based relational (reciprocal) therapy where we greet nature as a living partner and not just a setting.  

 

Key elements include: 

  • Sensory invitations to introduce relational engagement

  • A non-judgmental, inclusive space

  • A walking pace that supports nervous system regulation

  • A guide who holds the structure while letting meaning emerge naturally 

​​​​

As your guide, I provide you with direction and facilitate your experience.
