Hi and welcome! I am Jacquie, a passionate Nature EcoTherapist and Scientist who has studied the benefits of nature immersions for building resilience, stress relief, improved health and wellbeing.
I would love to take you on a guided meditative experience doing Shinrin Yoku, Forest Bathing or creative EcoTherapy in the beautiful South West of Australia.
We all know when we spend more time in nature, we feel better. This isn’t a coincidence!
Forest, Eco Therapy and Shinrin Yoku can help
Let me guide you.
Come and experience some South West nature. Learn evidence-based techniques to calm, bring joy and heal your soul.
Suitable for anyone in need of time out !
“The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy.”
“The opportunity that Shinrin-Yoku gave me was to completely and utterly feel immersed in nature. During the period of walking barefoot SLOWLY through the forest I felt that I was transformed back to my childhood and experienced special memories with such clarity, it brought me to tears. It was an incredible experience and, for the first time in many months, I slowed down and was able to appreciate everything around me. Afterwards I felt a true sense of elation and peace which stayed with me for several days afterwards. I would definitely recommend Jacquie’s Shinrin-Yoku session to anyone who is considering giving this a go!” Jenny P, who experienced Shinrin Yoku with Jacquie as her guide and has been raving about it ever since!
Let’s celebrate going slow this whole year…
