Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or “forest bathing,” forest therapy is a guided outdoor healing practice.

What is Forest Therapy?

 

Find Your Nature

Decades of research show that forest bathing may help reduce stress, improve attention, boost immunity, and lift mood.  Forest Therapy is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of health, wellness, and happiness.  There are many wonderful health benefits attributed to forest therapy including boosted immune function, improved cardiovascular and respiratory health, attention restoration and a reduction in stress and depression.

Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. The experience is a an open-ended practice and there are no “shoulds”.

How does it work?

It’s easy. Contact Kira to schedule a walk.

Kira is flexible and can come to your location.

We can work with your schedule and virtual walks are available.

Most walks take 2-3 hours and they aren’t a rigorous hike, but rather a walk although if you would like to do a longer hike, that can be arranged.

Forest therapy is also an excellent option for team building, corporate retreats, and other workplace wellness goals.
