What is Forest Therapy: Forest Therapy is a mindful approach to connecting with nature and self in a natural environment. Commonly known as Shinrin Yoku, this Japanese practice allows us to reach states of relaxation and awareness through slow, simple processes guided in and by nature. It offers benefits to all our bodies, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Fully accessible to all, it is a beautiful and powerful form of healing. It builds connection to our senses and environment.
Forest Therapy Health Benefits:
Forest therapy has been scientifically proven in multiple studies to reduce stress responses and lower inflammation. Phytoncides omitted by trees during these practices have been shown to lower blood pressure.
Studies have shown the following:
Reduction in Blood Pressure

Preventative and healing effect for Anxiety
Preventative and healing effect for Depression

What to expect in a Session: Sessions will typically last around 2 hours. This is the optimum time to receive the physical, mental and emotional benefits. These benefits have been scientifically proven to last up to 30 days.
Sessions will be guided by a practitioner. They will guide you to begin with a sensory invitation. Similar to a guided meditation you will be prompted on a journey through your senses so you can drop into the moment and out of your head.
From here you will be given a series of invitations to explore that will encourage connection to the senses mindfully. This may be to walk slowly and look at the patterns in nature, or to sit and connect to what you can hear. Your practitioner will support you in finding a space you feel safe so that you can truly feel the benefits of the practices. At the end of the session you may be offered a cup of tea and a snack and an opportunity to share any experiences you may have had. There is no set outcome, just an opportunity to tune into your senses.
