Allison is a seasoned forest therapy guide with a deep love for nature and its healing powers. With her gentle and nurturing demeanor, Allison creates a welcoming and inviting space for individuals to connect with the natural world around them. Allison's guided forest therapy sessions are a transformative experience, giving me a fresh sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural spaces around me. Her passion for the outdoors is contagious, and I always leave feeling rejuvenated, de-stressed and re-connected to the earth.
The forest bathing walks I have attended with Allison have been incredibly restorative. Her thoughtful program combined with her gentle and open manner fit so perfectly with the experience of slowing down and being fully present in a natural wooded environment. The guided meditations are meaningful and being in a group where one can share our observations is affirming. Afterward, I found myself feeling more present and I noticed an increased awareness of my natural surroundings. I would liken it to creating space for peace within the busyness of everyday life. It takes an effort to pause, but the effort pays off in alleviating stress and creating a sense of peace. It’s a significant experience that I would recommend to anyone who has an affinity for nature and would like to feel more centered.
I’ve always enjoyed hiking, camping and spending time in nature. I didn’t know what I’ve been missing until my private virtual forest bathing session with Allison. She made me feel comfortable and safe in this, my first forest bathing experience. The “invitations” Allison gave naturally led me into a fun experience “just” being with nature and experiencing it more fully in ways I haven’t accessed before. Not only did I receive the benefit of my body and mind slowing down; I also take away some new ideas for how I can be in and enjoy nature any time. Things I’ve always wanted and tried to experience, but didn’t know how to touch into. I highly recommend allowing Allison to guide you in a virtual forest bathing session!
