“Everything in the forest is the forest.” from ‘The Overstory’ by Richard Powers

Forest Bathing has documented health benefits. Spending time in NATURE or even looking at pictures of NATURE has shown to:

  • reduce stress

  • slow heart rate

  • reduce anxiety

  • lower blood pressure

  • elevate mood

  • improve concentration and increase creativity

Certified as a Forest Bathing Guide, Paula uses a virtual platform to create opportunities for folks to connect with NATURE where they are. NATURE is everywhere, even inside.

Translated from Japanese, Shin-rin Yoku means ‘bathing in the forest atmosphere’. Established as a National health practice by Japan in the 1980s, it is now researched all over the world for the positive impacts it can have on personal health.

Virtual Forest Bathing experiences are open to the public on the 2nd Saturdays of the month.
