Mike Sidoti’s continued passion to make a positive difference in the lives of others, in an otherwise stressful, busy, and chaotic world, led him to establish Mountainside Forest Therapy & Coaching (MountainsideFTC). He finds tremendous purpose offering guided sessions - whether it’s forest bathing or life coaching – that resets the stage with a fresh perspective for you to navigate forward - with ease.

Mike is professionally trained and certified through The Forest Therapy School. He delivers an experience that is experiential and restorative.

With Mike as your guide, you’ll enhance your well-being, and in two hours or less you’ll leave feeling renewed, relaxed, refocused, and replenished with a deepened connection to yourself and nature.

He is certified in Wilderness First Aid from The Institute for Wild Med and to-date has completed Wilderness Survival Skills (Skill Levels 1 and 2) from Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival.

Mike is also professionally trained through The Institute for Life Coach Training and subsequently earned board certification through the Center for Credentialing and Education. He offers foundational coaching services that engage you in achieving your goals and attaining greater life fulfillment aligned with your values and purpose.

Mike enjoys many outdoor recreational activities including hiking, kayaking, skiing, and nature photography as well as going to his favorite ‘sit spot’ where he stops doing to ‘simply be’ with nature in the present moment.

He knows first-hand the restorative attributes that spending time in nature - the forest - and among the trees has on one’s well-being.

When Mike spends time in the forest, his stress level significantly decreases and his mood greatly improves. The forest offers an opportunity to refocus, gain clarity and perspective, and experience inner healing and peace.

Mike looks forward to guiding you through a similarly nourishing forest bathing experience or working with you as a life coach.
