Events
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
Awe at the Spa!
On the Autumn Equinox and International Day of Peace, expand and deepen your day of calm self-care with a guided Forest Bathing Experience on the beautiful Scandinave Forest Bathing Trail, before your Thermal Journey begins. This gentle, mindful journey invites you to fully arrive, creating the perfect transition to the deep relaxation of the Spa.
