The Benefits of a Guided Nature Session
Why do I need a guided nature session, when I can just go out
and take a walk in the woods by myself?
As a society, we are stressed out! Our hyper-speed culture, places a high value on productivity, and with the ever present demands of technology, and lack of sleep, stress has become the #1 contributor blocking our overall health & wellness. We simply do not take the time out to dwell in the forest and benefit from its amazing healing potential. Recess for adults and children are limited, and we are only now studying and recognizing the benefits of daydreaming and meditation…we have forgotten how to disconnect and relax.
Because we are out of practice, it is simply easier and more effective when you can give yourself permission to fully relax and immerse yourself into the shinrin yoku experience through a guided nature session.
A guided nature session is an intentional partnership with the forest that creates a profound coaching experience. Through a series of invitations, we work together to stimulate inspiration, foster awareness, reflection, and connection back to self.
Alexandra's Personal Story
Ever since I was a little girl, I intuitively practiced “forest bathing”.
I did not understand at the time that it was a wise and inspired coping skill. All I knew as a child was that it felt good and I felt safe. I have always seen trees as my elders, the true keepers of time, wisdom and universal secrets. Their silent, steady and strong presence helped me to trust in a chaotic and sometimes confusing world.
Throughout my youth and adult years, the trees and the forests of my life have brought me great healing, have washed my sorrows, brought inspired solutions, and renewed my faith and place in this world. And so, it is my great desire to bring inspired solutions, healing and renewal to others. By offering forest guided coaching sessions to individuals and groups, I hope to bring this same power and potential of the forest to others.
