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. 

Led by Heather from Wild Heather Wellness, a CMA-accredited Forest Therapy Practitioner, each session is a carefully held, restorative experience.

Your session will include:

• A gentle, mindful walk

• Seasonal nature insights

• A guided sensory meditation

• Exploratory forest bathing invitations

• Time for rest, reflection, and sharing
  
  

To close, you’ll be invited to enjoy:

• Herbal tea

• Guided journaling prompts

• An optional sharing circle

You’ll leave feeling grounded, calm, and more connected, to both nature and yourself.

Forest bathing is widely recognised as a complementary and integrative wellness practice, with growing research supporting its benefits.

Studies suggest forest therapy may help:

·       Reduce stress and anxiety

·       Improve mood and emotional wellbeing

·       Support focus, attention, and mental clarity

·       Calm the nervous system

·       Lower blood pressure and heart rate

·       Reduce inflammation

·       Support healthy immune function

·       Improve sleep quality

·       Ease feelings of burnout and digital overwhelm

It can also be especially supportive for neurodivergent individuals, offering a sensory-aware, low-pressure environment.

Heather is trained with Light Box and is a CMA-accredited Forest Therapy Practitioner, blending science, theory, and embodied practice.

Each session honours both the land we walk on and your own inner landscape. Whether walking through Hardcastle Craggs or a quiet city park, the intention remains the same:
to help you feel nourished, grounded, and deeply connected.

Forest bathing is for anyone craving a slower, more meaningful connection to life and nature.
