Forest Therapy Sessions

Reconnect with Nature Through Forest Therapy

Forest Therapy, also known as Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing, is a gentle, evidence-based practice of spending mindful time in nature. As a fully qualified and insured Forest Therapy Practitioner, I guide you through gentle invitations to help quiet the mind, balance the nervous system, and reconnect with your senses.

Sessions run in Lancashire woodlands, parks, and nature reserves - in all weathers, rain or shine.

Specialised Sessions for Women

While all my sessions are open to everyone, I also run specialised sessions specifically designed for particular groups of women:

🌸 Sessions for Women in Perimenopause & Menopause

Dedicated sessions for women navigating hormonal transitions. Nature offers powerful support for anxiety, sleep issues, mood swings, brain fog, and the emotional weight of this life stage.

Who Is Forest Therapy For?

Everyone. You don't need to be fit, forest-savvy, or spiritual. Just willing to go slow.

It's particularly beneficial if you're experiencing:

  • Stress, anxiety, or burnout
  • Life transitions, grief, or major changes
  • Disconnection from yourself or your body
  • A need for peace, space, and gentle support

Accessibility & Inclusivity

I choose locations carefully and can discuss accessibility needs
before booking. While we walk on woodland paths, we move very slowly and
cover minimal distance. If you have specific mobility, sensory, or
other access needs, please let me know.

Ready to Book?

Browse available sessions and book your place. If you have questions or specific needs, please get in touch - I'm always happy to help you feel comfortable before booking.

Fully qualified, insured, and outdoor first aid certified.

What Our Clients Say

"Rachael is a wonderful facilitator, I felt at ease and really comfortable in her presence, I loved the meditation at the beginning to tune into nature! It was a magickal experience that I can’t quite express with words but it felt wonderful! Thank you Rachael for such a beautiful afternoon ❤️👑"

Ainé

"Loved it all. I loved the meditation at the start. I didn’t think I was going to like the mindfulness at first but I actually really loved it and especially the mandala. I don’t think there’s anything to improve it was just lovely. I felt a sense of peace and calm 🙏 thank you xx"
