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.

Professionally trained and certified through The Forest Therapy School, Mike offers guided forest bathing sessions that enrich your well-being and in two hours or less leave you 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 fourteen hours of 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, and skiing 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 among the trees has on his well-being. His stress level significantly decreases while his mood greatly improves. The forest is where Mike refocuses, gains clarity and perspective, and experiences inner healing and peace. Mike looks forward to guiding you through a similarly nourishing forest bathing experience.
