WHAT are MY CLIENT SAY's about Forest Bathing
Chantelise
The forest makes me remember all the beauty that exists in this world. A retreat to the stillness which feels like a world away to the complexities of human existence. It allows me to feel all the sensations... vision, touch, taste, smell. It allows me to feel like a quiet observer, no space for hunger... being served a feast of subtle yet profound energy to embrace it all and to connect in nature, is to come home to one's true nature.
Jessica
It is a true gift to be guided through nature by someone who loves and promotes love of the land. Give yourself permission to take a step back from day to day tasks and duties to connect with nature. Even if you are blessed to enjoy time in the outdoors often, it is a wonderful opportunity to share an experience like this with likeminded people.
Nicola
This experience was great and it was such a simple, accessible and efficient way to relieve stress, to get out of the thinking mind and connect back to the heart. It is a beautiful way to do therapy and connect to the forest.
Davinia
I would say that this is a great experience to connect with nature and with our own soul. Finding peace and calm being in the forest. I love that there is no destination because we are already in the spot. Michelle guides us to observe and feel the forest with all our senses. She makes us use our intuition and lets us guide ourselves from the heart.
