As a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT), I invite you to join me on a guided forest bathing walk. Together, we’ll slow down, engage all our senses, and deepen our connection with the natural world. These walks offer gentle invitations to relax, unwind, restore—physically, emotionally, spiritually
Sometimes the forest is the medicine. Experience how time in nature benefits your health--write yourself a nature prescription.
Thanks to the the City of Barrie.

Create a group of up to 12 participants and be guided for three hours according to your own schedule. A great way to celebrate special events and milestones!
Enjoy the benefits of a private one-to-one walk tailored to your time and place.
Join a community of others interested in exploring forest bathing on a scheduled walk.
Include the flexibility of shorter walks tailored for multiple groups and question-and-answer or information sessions on the documented health benefits of Forest Bathing.
While sheltering-in-place, through zoom, immerse yourself in a deepened connection to others, self, and if possible, the More than Human World, from the safety, comfort and privacy of your own home, balcony, backyard or favourite greenspace.
