It brings me great joy to share forest bathing, this practice of slowing down and connecting with the rhythms of nature, with others.

I have always felt calm and centered - yet with my spirits soaring high - while out among the trees. Come join me for a forest therapy walk, awaken all your senses to the natural world around you, and relax into being completely in the moment. I lead walks in the Santa Cruz mountains, the parks of Silicon Valley and along the SF bay shoreline.

Prior to certifying as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide I worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer in Silicon Valley. I know first hand how spending the entire day in an office or lab, face in front of a computer screen, deadlines looming, takes a toll on mental and physical health.

Go ahead, give yourself permission to get out and enjoy what even just a little time in nature will do for you.
