Private & Corporate Wellness Days
Bespoke half-day or full-day wellbeing experiences for private parties (e.g. hen/ birthdays) or for businesses of all sizes, that involve a selection of yoga, meditation, massage, forest bathing, guided journaling, or cacao. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and can be delivered at a chosen venue or in accessible natural settings.
What Is Forest Therapy?
Also known as Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing, forest therapy is a guided sensory walk followed by a series of mindfulness practices in nature designed to calm your nervous system and bring a sense of presence and connection. Each session is followed by tea and a 'check in', where I hold space for the therapeutic work of nature.
An Embodied Experience
Through gentle guidance, you’ll be offered simple invitations to notice, feel, and connect with your surroundings. No agenda, no thinking, no forcing - just bathing the senses and seeing what surfaces.
Backed By Science
Forest therapy is a recognised form of complementary and integrative medicine. I’m a certified Forest Therapy Practitioner with Light Box, a CMA-accredited course that bridges science, theory, and embodied practice.
​
Rooted in Respect
These walks honour both the land and your inner landscape. Whether we’re in the peaks or a city park, the aim is the same: to leave you feeling grounded, nourished, and deeply connected.

Testimonials
It was my first time at Earthy Sundays and it was a gorgeous day. Thank you to Heather for facilitating such a wholesome, grounding day. I loved being in nature, in a group of lovely people. It was excellent value for money, I have recommended it to others and will be going to future events.
