What is Forest Therapy?

Also known as Forest Bathing or Nature Immersion, this is a gentle, evidence-based practice that supports your wellbeing through deep connection with nature.

As a fully qualified and insured Forest Therapy Practitioner, I guide you through a gentle sequence of invitations to help quiet the mind, balance the nervous systems, and reconnect with your senses.

Together, we will create room for rest, reflection, and reconnection — with the land, with your inner self, and with each other.

You don’t need to be fit, forest-savvy, or spiritual — just willing to go slow.

🌿 How It Helps
Spending time in nature like this has been shown to:
• Regulates the nervous systems
• Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
• Improves focus, mood and sleep
• Boosts creativity and emotional clarity
• Lower blood pressure and boost immunity
• Support emotional regulation and resilience
• Offer deep rest, reflection, and reconnection

How Sessions Work

  • Sessions usually last 2–2.5 hours
  • We move slowly through the landscape with a flow of gentle sensory invitations
  • Time for stillness, optional sharing, and simply being with nature
  • Each session closes with a tea ceremony and grounding practice
  • Comfy, weather-appropriate clothing encouraged
  • All are welcome — especially those feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or tender-hearted.

I run regular Forest Therapy sessions around the North-West of England in beautiful locations.

FAQ's

Does Forest Bathing mean being naked in the forest?

No, a common question though, I wondered the same the first time I heard
of it! It's about bathing your senses in the forest, rather than your
body.

Can I bring my dog?

I love dogs, but these sessions need to remain pet-free to allow us to
focus on ourselves fully. Gift yourself the time and space to fully immerse yourself into the session. Please leave your pet at home in a safe environment.

What should I wear?

As we'll be outside for the entirety of our session, dress according to the weather and for being in the forest for a few hours. Sensible footwear, warm clothing, possibly waterproof layers. Even on hot days, it can be cool within the canopy of the forest, so be sure to bring warm clothes.
