Forest Bathing with a Tea Ceremony

What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing and forest therapy (or shinrin-yoku) broadly means taking in, in all of one’s senses, the forest atmosphere. Not simply a walk in the woods, it is the conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest.

~ Global Wellness Institute

Food plans may be recommended to assist in the healing, with professional guidelines to improve one’s health. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach; the services are uniquely tailored to each client, based on their genetics, diagnoses, health markers, lifestyle, and health goals.

This will be explored individually by the client-practitioner-coach team as necessary for the client’s specific health story and goals.

It’s not uncommon to remove some foods from your system for a short period of time to see if/how it eases some of your systems. It’s also common to enhance the client’s health by filling in the nutritional gaps with supplements and/or specific foods to vitality and longevity.
