Testimonials

I really enjoyed my guided forest therapy session with Mike. He immediately established a welcoming and grounding presence that was calming and relaxing. I was able to escape the busyness of everyday life and experience the therapeutic benefits that nature offers. In just under two hours, I felt refreshed and refocused. Spending a little bit of time in a natural environment is so healing and the good news is that the forest, nature, and the outdoors are always there to enjoy amidst the hustle and bustle of it all. I highly recommend taking a guided walk with Mike to reconnect with yourself and our natural surroundings.
