What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. The experience is a an open-ended practice and there are no “shoulds.”
Decades of research show that forest bathing may help reduce stress, improve attention, boost immunity, and lift mood. Forest Therapy is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of health, wellness, and happiness. There are many wonderful health benefits attributed to forest therapy including boosted immune function, improved cardiovascular and respiratory health, attention restoration and a reduction in stress and depression.
How Does Forest Therapy Work?
Scheduling a forest therapy walk is simple. Reach out to Kira to choose a date, location, and format that works best for you or your group.
Kira is flexible and can often come to your preferred location. Walks are typically 2–3 hours and are not rigorous hikes, but slow, guided experiences designed to help participants relax, reconnect, and engage with the natural world. Longer walks or more active hikes can also be arranged upon request.
Forest therapy is also a meaningful option for team building, corporate retreats, workplace wellness programs, and other group experiences designed to support connection, restoration, and well-being.
