As a Certified Forest Bathing guide through the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT), member of Nature & Forest Therapy Canada (NFTC) and Park Prescription (PaRx) prescriber for the past few years, I’m thrilled that my dad Bob and friends Jackie D and Angela K sent me this. It’s long proven preventive health care benefits are amazing! Research it yourself and book a session with me. Privately or in a group. 🌲🌳😊

Based on the Japanese wellness practice of Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing has been known to reduce stress, improve mood, lower blood pressure and boost the immune system.

Heard of Forest Bathing? 🛁🫧Nope-no bathing involved🤭 It’s preventive health care for your mind and body. Have a celebration coming up? A birthday, team building, bachelorette or just wanting quiet time with a few friends? I’m a certified Forest Bathing guide 🌲Email me or book on our website for a peaceful private 1.5–2 hour guided forest bathing session that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with others and the natural world. Surrounded by trees and singing birds, you’ll experience the proven health benefits of reduced stress, improved mood, and enhanced overall well-being. This guided approach gently supports you in being present, while thoughtfully incorporating touches of comfort that make the experience deeply relaxing. This is more than a walk in the woods—it’s a restorative journey that nurtures both body and soul, leaving you refreshed, grounded, and renewed. 🌎💗
