About Forest Bathing Walks
Spring into Forest Bathing!
Immerse yourself in the quiet calm rejuvenation and healing of a forest bathing walk as the spring woods reawaken.
Invitations help you unwind, de-stress, slow down, engage all your senses as your connection with nature deepens.
Guided Forest Bathing walks lower anxiety, blood pressure and the effects of depression, and heighten one's creativity,
sense of wellness and happiness.
Come with a friend or come alone.
Slip into something more comfortable…
Forest Bathing for free? Yes!
Time in nature makes us happier and healthier.
And the City of Barrie agrees.

About Me
Having wandered in the woods all my life, I delight in educating and guiding others to an awareness and understanding of the healing power of nature and trees as a tool for peace and prosperity. I believe that, in order to restore balance to our planetary and emotional health, we must reignite a deeper and sustainable connection between humans and the earth.

Do you believe in the healing power of the forest? Do you imagine a path beckoning guests into your woods? Do you yearn to share the hidden spots on your property that invite deeper engagement of and connection to nature through all your senses? Immersing in nature nurtures clarity, creativity, wonder, rejuvenation and an infusion of peaceful calm. This is Forest Bathing.
Having wandered in the woods all my life, I would be honoured to help you design and create a Forest Bathing Trail, highlighting and enhancing the natural gifts of your property, in all seasons.
I live in Barrie Ontario Canada and delight in discovering safe pathways into the healing woods of Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. I have a Master’s of Education and am certified through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Organization (https://www.natureandforesttherapy.org/ )
Please check out a trail I designed at Scandinave Spa, Blue Mountains, Ontario Canada:

"I met with Beth after a 2 day solo road trip for my mental health and instantly felt a sense of peace and calm when I completed the Nature Bath. Beth is extremely knowledgeable in the background of Nature Bathing, where it comes from and even the acknowledgement of the land we were standing on. Beth’s kind and calming demeanour will absolutely make you feel positive. I encourage everyone to try this experience at least once!"-Jaylyn (August 2020)
"I had an amazing time on my first forest bathing experience with Beth. She was the perfect and most gracious and accommodating guide. Knowledgeable too. Equal parts adventure and tranquility. Really great stuff. I slept like a baby the night of. I can’t wait to visit these woods again this coming fall with Beth and maybe others!"--Julia (July 2020)
It was an incredible experience to be bathed under the forest canopy and also within your delightful essence. Taking time to have reverence for the forest and remembering the magic that it offers us filled up my heart. So many insights bubbled up while in communication with the forest elements helping me with my transition in life!
I had a great sleep last night and have a full healthy feeling of groundedness and calmness in my body and heart today!
You will see me again and can't wait to share this with others!
In heartfelt gratitude,
In Kindness

Beth is a skilled facilitator with the ability to sense the needs of both groups and individuals. This is an experience for people whether they already spend a lot of time in nature or not. It can be either a reminder of, or an introduction to the role it can play in our lives... Beth’s friendly, warm, positive and infectious spirit makes it all more than worthwhile. Give yourself the gift!"--Rebecca-February, 2019
