Forest Bathing Experiences

A Forest Bathing Experience is a powerful invitation to begin the journey of restoration—to reawaken our ancestral bond with the Earth and remember the profound healing that arises through deep connection with Nature. As a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, these walks that are less about reaching a destination and more about arriving fully in the present moment. Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, this experience is not a hike or plant walk; it is a slow, intentional saunter through the forest, both on and off trail.

Guided by a series of gentle “invitations,” participants are encouraged to Slow Down, Relax, Connect, and Play. These mindful explorations open the senses and cultivate inner calm, curiosity, gratitude, and a renewed sense of belonging within the natural world. Rather than focusing on facts about flora and fauna, Forest Bathing invites deep listening—to the land, to ourselves, and to the quiet wisdom that emerges in stillness.

Each walk concludes with a simple tea ceremony, sharing a brew crafted from local plants and trees—a gesture of gratitude and communion with the living world.

Cat offers both public and private Forest Bathing experiences for individuals and groups.

Wellness Consultations

Drawing on 25 years of experience as a holistic practitioner, Cat approaches each client as whole, recognizing their inherent capacity to heal. Through a thorough and in-depth initial consultation, she identifies the primary concern while gently addressing underlying imbalances. By optimizing nutrient status, incorporating carefully selected botanicals and nutraceuticals, and supporting lifestyle shifts and nature-based practices, Cat helps awaken the body’s innate healing intelligence. Her integrative approach nurtures well-being on every level—body, mind, and spirit—guiding clients toward vibrant, lasting health.

Plant Walks

We are blessed to live among one of the most botanically rich landscapes in the continental U.S., beyond the coastline. A plant walk with Cat offers more than just information—it’s a mindful, heart-centered journey into the living world around us. With a gentle pace and a deep reverence for nature, Cat invites you to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the abundance of plant allies growing just outside your door. These walks, offered in both public and private settings during the spring and summer months, are a beautiful opportunity to deepen your relationship with the land and its many green teachers.

Nature Medicine Walks

Medicine is ultimately about restoring balance.  A nature medicine walk with Cat is an extraordinary experience that blends forest bathing and field botany, providing a glimpse into the unseen dimensions of nature, and facilitating a deeper knowing of the plant allies in our region.  

While slowly sauntering on and off trail, a variety of invitations will be offered to awaken your senses, attune to the quiet voices of the land, and engage with the energy of the plants and trees.  A deeply restorative, contemplative and playful adventure designed to rekindle connection with yourself as a human being and the wisdom of our Earth Mother.

“Throughout the field immersion, Cat helps guide the heart and mind into engagement.  It’s both a meditative and educational experience.   After the class I have a better way of entering into, honoring, experiencing, and learning from nature.”
