"We all want quiet, we all want beauty, we all need space. Unless we have it, we cannot reach that sense of quiet in which whispers of better things come to us gently."
Octavia Hill ( co-founder of the National Trust)
Forest Therapy
In a world that moves fast, forest therapy invites you
to slow down. To breathe. To listen. To reconnect with yourself through the gentle, healing presence of nature.
As a qualified Forest Therapy Practitioner I guide
individuals and small groups through peaceful, sensory-rich invitations to deepen your connection with the natural world—and yourself.
What is Forest Therapy?
Forest therapy (also known as Shinrin-yoku or "forest bathing") is a gentle, guided experience in nature. It’s not a hike or a nature talk—it’s a slowing down. A chance to tune into your senses, breathe deeply, and find stillness in nature. A quiet returning to ourselves, for after all we are nature!
You don’t need to be fit or outdoorsy. You don’t need to talk (unless you want to). You just need to show up—with curiosity and an open heart.

How It Works
I offer gentle forest therapy sessions in Wiltshire and surrounding areas. A session usually last 1.5 to 2 hours and includes:
-
A warm welcome and grounding practice
-
A series of simple “invitations” to connect with nature through your senses
-
Time for optional sharing and reflection after each invitation
-
A cuppa and opportunity for a final share (if you would like) to before heading home.
Private 1:1 sessions and group sessions are available. I can plan a session close to you, through researching of the local area. Please get in touch for more information.
