Emily has recently qualified as a Forest Therapy Practitioner and has loved every minute! Forest Therapy is a practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the Forest, it involves slow, mindful and sensory communication with nature alongside the support of a trained practitioner.
We are Launching on Friday 15 August with 3 session, a morning one from 9:30am - 11:30am, afternoon from 2:30pm - 4:30pm and an evening one with additional sound bath from 6pm - 8:30pm. Enjoy a special launch price of just £30 for daytime and £35 for the evening. A drink and snack will be provided. Mats too, but if you think you need a chair please bring a foldable one with you.
The aim of Forest Therapy is to use the power of nature to help the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of those attending.
Inspired by the Japanese practice ‘Shinrin-Yoku’ it allows the brain and nervous system to calm and restore. Forest Therapy holds many health benefits, with some being felt after being in nature for 15 minutes, but a 2 hour session is recommended.
Research has shown increased relaxation of the body, reduction in blood pressure (which lasts up to 5 days after forest therapy) and heart rate, reduced inflammation, endocrine function and improvement of weakened immunity.
It reduces anxiety, anger, depression, PTSD and ADHD. It restores focus and attention span, increases energy and vitality, improves sleep. Increases self esteem, empathy, kindness and compassion, boosts creativity and intuition, calms the nervous system and relaxes an overworked brain.
For our evening session on Launch Day we will relax afterwards under the trees with Emily holding a Sound Bath entwined with the birds and the gentle sounds of the woodland.
