Nature Walks Rx
Nature Walks Rx is based on many studies on the health benefits of Forest Bathing. Nature as a healing modality extends beyond the forest and into other regions as studies on plant life, air quality, soil, sunlight and more have shown. I am adapting this practice to include not only the forest, but natures’ various ecosystems. In addition, we explore beyond our own benefit, and more into our reciprocal relationship within the natural world.
In Humboldt County some areas we have access to are the ocean, dunes, and wetlands as well as the forest. Each ecosystem is rich, abundant in its own offerings of health benefits that are also based on many studies. Nature Walks Rx bridges this gap between forest bathing and brings the connection together for us to achieve our fullest potential of health and wellness in relation to all of nature.
As a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, I am always working on my personal relationship and understanding with nature to better offer you the opportunity to connect with the natural world on a level that is yet to be remembered or newly discovered. My purpose is to open the doors for you to experience your own personal journey in relationship with nature.
It is my hope that your curiosity will be piqued, your wonderment, and joy will flourish, and that your revelations and connections will make your exploration in connecting with the natural world more accessible.
Nature Walks Rx is not an educational tour, nor is it an endurance hike, or a goal to achieve. The aim is to release these ambitions from the tamed world and discover our natural embodied awareness’s. It provides a much-needed prescription for many ailments we may have. The guided walk is slow, intended to cover only a short distance. It is a sensory immersion. Nature Walks Rx is your Guided Outdoor Elixir.
