Forest Therapy Experiences & Programs

​

For Organisations, Corporates, Health & Education Sectors

As a certified Forest Therapy Coach and Guide, I offer nature-based programs that are gently co-designed with you to meet the unique needs of your people, place, and purpose.

​

All offerings are flexible and can be adapted to indoor, outdoor, and hybrid environments — including aged care facilities, workplaces, schools, and natural settings.

 

Health, Medical & Home Care Organisations

Personalised, complementary Forest Therapy programs are designed to enhance health treatments, support care outcomes, and encourage gentle healing — for both on-site and off-site services, such as:

* Aged Care
* Palliative Care
* Home & Community Care
* Rehabilitation and Recovery Programs

These programs support emotional wellbeing, calm the nervous system, and foster a sense of connection, dignity, and presence in those receiving care.

​

Businesses & Corporations

Restore workplace wellbeing — naturally.

Customised programs help individuals and teams reconnect with their sense of purpose and inner calm through immersive, guided experiences that support:

* Stress relief and emotional regulation
* Creativity and problem-solving
* Focus and attention restoration
* Self-determination and motivation
* Resilience, collaboration, and authentic connection
* Meaningful alignment between personal and professional values

These experiences gently foster healthier workplace dynamics, increased performance, and long-term wellbeing.

 

Organisations & Environmental Groups

For teams working in high-demand environments or activist roles, nature becomes a sanctuary.

These programs offer deep rest and rejuvenation for mind, body, soul, and spirit — helping to restore clarity, purpose, and hope. Ideal for:

* NGO staff and volunteers
* Environmental advocacy groups
* Regenerative and community organisations
* Support services seeking gentle burnout recovery

​

Education Sector

With over 20 years of experience as a Nature and Kitchen Garden Educator, I offer curriculum-aligned Forest Therapy programs for all year levels, both on-site and off-site.

Each experience is tailored to your term themes and student needs, honouring the philosophy that:

 

Nature is the ultimate educator — teaching across all areas of learning.

These experiential and immersive sessions support emotional regulation, social connection, curiosity, respect, and a lifelong relationship with the natural world.

​

​​​​​​​​​​Nature-Based Wellbeing for the Workplace

​

Supporting employee mental health, resilience, and purpose-driven performance.

Are you looking to improve employee mental health, workplace wellbeing, and professional outcomes — in a way that’s meaningful, sustainable, and grounded?

​

Through a powerful blend of Forest Therapy practices and evidence-based Stress Reduction techniques, we offer a holistic approach that addresses both the psychological and physical impacts of stress. These practices support individuals in reconnecting with themselves, with each other, and with the natural world — leading to measurable benefits in both personal life and the workplace.

​

A Whole-Person Approach to Wellbeing

This work is built on the understanding that body, mind, and environment are deeply interconnected. By working with nature rather than against it, participants gain a comprehensive toolkit for:

​

* Managing stress and emotional fatigue
* Improving mental clarity and emotional resilience
* Enhancing physical health and energy levels
* Fostering stronger social and team connections
* Reconnecting with personal values and purpose

 

The Wisdom of Ikigai – Meaning & Motivation

At the heart of this approach is the inspiring Japanese philosophy of Ikigai – “a reason for being.”

​

Integrated into our programs, Ikigai offers a framework for cultivating a fulfilling, meaningful, and harmonious life. When individuals connect with their purpose, it naturally enhances commitment, motivation, and wellbeing — both personally and professionally. In the workplace, this translates into:

​

* Increased engagement and performance
* Authentic communication and empathy
* Stronger collaboration and team harmony
* Alignment between personal values and organisational culture

 

What You Can Expect

Each Guided Forest Therapy program is co-designed with you and your team to meet your unique goals. Whether it’s a one-off session, a retreat, or a longer-term program, our offerings are designed to support:

​

* Clarity & Calm – Reduce stress and anxiety; refocus priorities
* Value-Led Decision-Making – Strengthen self-awareness and boundary-setting
* Personal Motivation & Satisfaction – Align values with meaningful work
* Social Belonging & Contribution – Cultivate a shared sense of purpose
* Emotional Intelligence & Leadership – Support self-leadership and relational skills
* Creativity & Innovation – Spark curiosity and growth through nature-based learning
* Systemic Thinking – Connect knowledge across disciplines to find unique solutions
* Team & Personal Resilience – Strengthen capacity to adapt and thrive through challenges

 

The Outcome?

A healthier, more connected, and purpose-led workforce — with increased capacity for compassion, collaboration, and innovation.
