“Nature has such a powerful role in healing. I’ve seen firsthand how time outdoors, away from everyday stressors, can restore a sense of calm, presence, and clarity. Forest therapy is a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself and the world around you, bringing mindfulness to every step.”
Jason Livings

What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy, also known as “forest bathing,” is an evidence-based therapeutic practice that takes place outdoors, immersing you in the calming environment of natural woodland. Led by a qualified therapist, these sessions invite you to slow down, tune into your senses, and experience the restorative benefits of nature in a mindful, supported way.
How Can This Help?
- Reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and burnout
- Boost your mood and sense of wellbeing
- Encourage mindfulness and presence
- Support physical health (lower blood pressure, increased immunity)
- Deepen self-awareness through nature connection
Who is it For?
Forest Therapy is suitable for adults, teens, and older children—perfect for those struggling with stress, feeling “stuck” indoors, or wanting a change from traditional therapy settings. No fitness level is required; walks are gentle and at your pace.
What to Expect
Sessions last one hour and take place in a safe, tranquil natural setting. Your therapist guides you through gentle walking, mindful exercises, and reflective conversation—with space for quiet moments and open discussion. Suitable clothing and footwear are recommended.
