Forest Therapy Guiding

Traci Halvorson: Licensed Forest Therapy guide

When I am asked how forest therapy impacts our well being, I immediately think of how many things in life we miss because of our business. Could it be that our “techy” digital, fast-past, over-worked, stressed world has replaced and limited our ability to be in nature? Science has demonstrated that we are missing something, we are lacking time spent in nature. The forest assists the body by boosting the immune system, elevating NK cells, lowering stress hormone, enhancing the ability to focus, and refresh our overall well-being. It is not a cure-all, it’s away to assist our human bodies to maintain itself. The guide is trained to share a series of invitations, and simply said, “Guiding the participant to “slow down” and allowing our senses to be awakened. Each session will take approximately 2 to 3 hours in a safe, natural environment and is appropriate for all ages and all abilities.
