Meet Your Guide
Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting my website!
I’m Allison and I’m excited to share with you the benefits of forest bathing.
Years ago, while exploring Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods and suburbs, I stumbled upon the incredible greenspaces all throughout the city and beyond. From the amazing restoration efforts along the river and lake, to the revitalizing of the city parks, and the expanse of the forest preserves, I was captivated by these incredible nature spaces.
I spent a lot of time wandering these urban greenspaces, noticing the wildflowers and talking to the trees (yes, I really did talk with the trees!) and every time I wandered along these urban nature paths, I felt an undeniable sense of calm, awe, and groundedness. I realized then not just the beauty of nature, but the interconnection we have with nature.
I am also a licensed clinical social worker with a background in mindfulness and meditation. I firmly believe that immersing ourselves in nature is a vital practice that nurtures our mental health and overall well-being.
In 2022, I expanded my knowledge in health and wellness and became a certified Forest Therapy guide through The Forest Therapy School. Guiding walks and witnessing others reconnect with the awe and beauty of the natural world has been an incredible honor and joy.
I hope you’ll join me and experience the transformative power of forest bathing.
Warmly,
Allison
