Connecting with self and nature.

In a world that moves too quickly, stillness waits quietly beneath our feet. Join Outdoor Kat for a gentle, sensory walk; an invitation to return to the rhythm of nature, remember your deep connection to the earth, and come home to yourself.

Forest Therapy is a slow, intentional walk that invites you to engage your senses and connect deeply with the natural world. Rather than leading the experience, we allow the forest to guide us - encouraging presence, calm, and embodied awareness.

Physical and Physiological Health Impacts

Remember a time when you were in nature for an extended period. How did you feel? Forest Therapy offers many significant benefits to our bodies during and after a guided walk.

Emotional and Grief Processing Impacts

When dealing with grief, Forest Therapy can offer a soothing space to process emotions, find clarity, and seek comfort in the natural world’s rhythms and beauty. The peacefulness of the forest can facilitate introspection and help individuals navigate the grieving process.

We are in no hurry.

Let the moment be.

While on a Forest Therapy walk, we put aside our identifying markers and become our authentic selves.

Kat is a certified Forest Therapy Guide. She enjoys many outdoor activities including hiking, paddle boarding, and rock climbing.

Rooted Reflections

  • Thank you to all who take the time and energy to arrange these intriguing treks into Mother Nature. I call them Spirit Walks because by the time an hour and a half has passed by, I feel my Spirit bloom and grow. Guided by Kat, who seems to know most of the nooks and crannies in our many natural places, nourishes a feeling of peace and calm, which pervades my soul and my mind. Kat’s generous nature and positive, calm energy, surrounds me and refreshes my soul. Thank you, Kat.

  • Kat is a calming and attentive presence to have in the Forest. Go where she leads. She, like the trees themselves, is both 'with you', and at the same time, in the background holding space. Sacred Space. Offering. Inviting. Companioning.
