In a world of constant connectivity and rapid technological advancement, many people feel more disconnected than ever. Loneliness, anxiety, and burnout are on the rise—in workplaces, at home, and in our communities. What’s often missing is meaningful connection: to one another and to the natural world around us.
I help individuals and organizations restore that connection.
Through transformative trainings and immersive forest bathing experiences, teams and individuals are equipped with practical, evidence-based tools to strengthen relationships, enhance resilience, and support mental and physical well-being. The result? Healthier people, more engaged teams, and cultures rooted in presence and purpose.
Let me help you or your organization achieve better connections to nature, your inner knowing, and your flow.

I have a strong belief in the power of civic engagement and leveraging shared knowledge in non-hierarchal systems. I welcome collaborative efforts and co-creation. Reach out if you think our work is aligned- workshops, retreats and local non-profit support.
The person who leads forest therapy walks is a guide. It is essential to understand how the role of a guide is different than the role of a therapist. Our training focus is on guiding and the skills of guiding, rather than on the skills of therapy.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. This is a line from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Wild Geese" and is a core invitation from the guide to participants to engage all of their senses.
Forest Bathing is not a "hike", not setting out to conquer nature in any way, but instead invites everyone to engage with the outdoors in a positive way. Events are set up to be as accessible to as many ages, fitness levels, and abilities as possible.
The health benefits for both humans and the forest are collateral, or secondary, impacts of the restoration of healthy relationship between humans and the world. We aim to transform the ways in which people relate to forests and other natural spaces so that they feel deeply connected to those places. Beyond this, we also aim to transform the ways in which people relate to themselves, to others, and to the present moment in such a way that they feel deeply connected. Once such connections are generated, we believe that they act as gateways to pro-social and pro-environmental behavioral changes at a societal level. In this way, we understand the main purpose of Forest Therapy as being a vehicle for accelerating cultural change in the interest of community, reciprocity, and love. -Amos Clifford, founder of ANFT
