Forest Therapy
Forest Therapy is an evidence-based transformative wellbeing technique that connects people to natural environments through gentle sensory-based 'invitations' (mindfulness experiences). Or put simply - bonding to nature for health benefits.
Modelled on the Japanese wellness practice of Shinrin-Yoku.
A preventative medicine with health benefits that are proven to last for several days, and much longer if practised regularly:
- Boosts emotional wellbeing
- Essential oils emitted from trees boost the immune system
- Lowers high blood pressure
- Reduces levels of depression, anxiety and ADHD
- Reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol
- Improves mental clarity, focus, sleep and creativity
The president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine, Dr Qing Li, on Forest Bathing:
"We are part of the natural world. By opening our senses, Shinrin-Yoku bridges the gap between us and the natural world. We can then experience the miracle of life and connect to something larger than ourselves. Nature takes our breath away and breathes new life into us.”
The above is taken from Dr Qing Li's book, "Into the Forest; how trees can help you find HEALTH and HAPPINESS", which is a fantastic read if you want to learn more.
Happy People 
"It was great to have some time to breathe.... ground.... relax.... and appreciate the beauty that’s around us".
Hayley, Andover"A chance to relax and get away from it all by being guided to focus on nature and the 'simple things'".
Kate, Overton"The session was very calming and I believe Forest Bathing allowed me to slow right down and clear my mind in a way that I would/could never do on my own".
Louise, Basingstoke"Forest Bathing is just an amazing healing experience!".
Nicla, Reading"The course of monthly sessions allowed me to become increasingly open and take the experience to a deeper level each time. The benefits radiate through my mind and body, long after the session iteself has finished".
Annie, Upham"Committing to a 3 month series of forest bathing sessions allows you to revisit your chosen site and receive something new each time. I also loved connecting with the group through our shared experience over a number of weeks/months".
Oonagh, Winchester"The guided auditory meditations provided symptom relief that I hadn’t felt in over a year!
The heightened sensory experience in a relaxed calm environment of the forest, with a professional, kind, welcoming instructor who adapted the session to enable me to participate with a hidden disability, was fantastic"
Shelly, Winchester"You helped us so much - V went to see you know who and made the vital work call, both things she has been putting off for weeks! I have also had a v good night’s sleep! Must be six months since that has happened with no night sweats.
We will be in touch for the next episode soon!”.
ES, Basingstoke"I did a three hour session with Sonya, it is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Value for money, I can highly recommend."
George, Winchester"Enjoyed my Forest Therapy experience with Adore Your Outdoors. To stop and savour nature, slow down and disconnect for a couple of hours was very liberating. Highly recommend!"
Tilly, Birmingham“After the first meditation it was as though my eye balls had been washed!”.
