In a world that constantly asks us to do more, heal faster, and keep going, there is something profoundly radical about slowing down.
There’s something deeply healing about the forest.
Not just because it’s beautiful, but because it reminds you of your own natural pace.
You don’t have to effort.
You don’t have to fix anything.
You simply have to arrive and allow nature to do what she does best: help you remember who you really are.
🌿 What Is Forest Therapy?
Also known as Shinrin-Yoku or “forest bathing,” Forest Therapy is a gentle, guided practice of slowing down and tuning into your senses while walking in nature.
It’s not about hiking or exercise.
It’s about presence, reconnection, and restoration - allowing your body and mind to shift out of fight-or-flight and back into a state of calm.
💚 How Nature Helps Regulate Your Nervous System
Scientific studies show that time in nature:
Lowers cortisol (the stress hormone)
Reduces blood pressure and heart rate
Improves heart-rate variability (a key sign of nervous system resilience)
Boosts immune function through exposure to phytoncides (natural tree oils)
Increases feelings of calm, wellbeing, and emotional clarity
But here’s the part no lab can fully measure:
The forest doesn’t ask you to be anything. It simply welcomes you home.
🌸 For the Woman Who’s Been Holding It All Together
If you’ve been running on empty…
If your nervous system feels stretched thin from anxiety, overgiving, or life transitions…
You don’t need another thing to do.
You need somewhere to be.
That’s what my 6-week Forest Therapy course in Cumbria offers:
A space to breathe again.
To feel your feet on the earth.
To soften the edges.
And to reconnect with the truth of who you are, beneath the stress, beneath the coping, beneath the noise.
🌿 Ready to Come Back to Yourself?
I guide a small group of women each season through a 6-week journey in some of Cumbria’s most beautiful woodland spaces. We move slowly, we listen deeply, we heal — not through force, but through presence.
Because true healing doesn’t always come through doing more.
Sometimes it arrives when we stop… and let nature in.
