Myself and Kelly, a Certified Forest Therapy guide, offer forest bathing experiences and photo tours in various remote locations in the Sooke to Port Renfrew West Coast Corridor on Vancouver Island. Experience some of British Columbia's oldest forests and trees! Perfect for nature enthusiasts, nature photographers, or those just wanting to have photo memories of their time in nature! If you are an amateur or professional photographer wanting a lesson or tips in capturing the forest through the lens, I can support you.
Together we combine our love of the forest to offer you a once in a lifetime experience. Please note that this is not a typical guided forest bathing walk as we cover more distance than usual. These walks are for able bodied participants as we will be in remote areas that are not generally accessed by the public. For more details, cost, and availability please click the link below.

Benefits of regular Forest Therapy Walks:
Spending quiet, thoughtful time in the forest feels in many ways, like coming home to a peaceful place inside your heart. The practice of forest bathing is a mindful “immersion” into the space of trees, plants and the beings of the forest. It's not about getting to a place, rather it's about slowing down, and using your senses to mindfully notice and connect with the natural world, and yourself.
- Decreases stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels.
- Boosts the immune system by increasing natural killer cells.
- Heightens mood and enhances creativity.
- Improves sleep and increases energy levels.
- Helps you to feel a greater sense of peace and calm.
- Deepens your connection with yourself, others and the natural world around you.
