“In that moment the forest & I was all there was”
Take a walk in the forest…
Shinrin–Yoku based Forest Therapy simply aims to connect people with nature. Gentle guided walks that support well-being through sensory immersion in forests & other naturally healing environments.
2017 was an incredible year for me training with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy to become one of only a few qualified Forest Therapy Guides in the UK. I have been working outside with children & families for the past 14 years qualifying as a Forest School Leader in 2006. I run my Forest School Workshops alongside my work as a Community Artist, helping bring communities together through creative workshops, installations & festivals, including the successful launch and ongoing commitment to a local Community Garden. All my years as a Forest School Leader & Community Artist has only strengthened the joy, awe and curiosity that I feel for nature. I truly feel I have been given a gift in ‘the way of the guide’ & am very excited about my future in guiding Forest Therapy Walks, sharing the joy of nature with others and bearing witness as they rekindle their own nature connections, through gentle guided invitations in the beautiful woodlands of the Holme Valley.
