Forest Therapy

Forest therapy/forest bathing is the translation of the Japanese word Shinrin Yoku, which is where this practice originated. 

​

It is more than a walk in the woods. It is a guided evidence-based practice that invites you to slow down and engage your senses with the natural world. It is a chance to slow down from the stresses of modern living.

 

My guided sessions provide a structure to facilitate this.  Forest therapy has many health benefits.  It is known to reduce stress.  It lowers cortisol levels and promotes relaxation.   

​

It activates the parasympathetic nervous system which calms the body to a healthy state.
