The forest provides many sensory stimuli that are essential for people as living parts of the world need to experience life and recharge themselves.

I cannot wait to experience a walk again especially during the different seasons. I think every walk will be unique and add to anyone’s wellness journey. I felt restored. I felt at peace. I felt so much gratitude for my guide to share this amazing gift with myself and others.”

  • “If you are interested in trying this at all, you should. It is relaxing, invigorating, and opens your eyes to a world that many have forgotten. Experiencing a forest therapy walk has provided me with a template that can be used to slow down and immerse myself in nature on my own, which is something that I think will be helpful for the rest of my life.”
