What is Forest Therapy?
Forest therapy is a guided practice that uses slow, intentional time in woodland environments to support human health and wellbeing.
Decades of international research show that time in biodiverse natural environments can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, support immune function, and improve mental health.
Sessions offer gentle invitations that help people slow down, reconnect with nature, and restore balance.
Who is it for?
Forest therapy can support people experiencing:
- stress, anxiety, or burnout
- low mood or grief
- social isolation
- fatigue or overwhelm
- health conditions
- a desire to reconnect with nature
For professionals & referrals
Forest therapy can complement existing medical and psychological care and may be suitable for social prescribing or community wellbeing programmes.
If you would like to discuss referrals or collaboration, please get in touch.
