Wellbeing Walks, Forest Bathing & Mindfulness based Nature Therapy Sessions

Natural Mindfulness wellbeing walks, Forest Bathing experiences and Mindfulness based Nature therapy sessions are natural healthcare methods, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature and the present moment effortlessly. In this way, you can re-energise a tired body, relax a busy mind, and lift a low spirit.

Recent scientific studies have linked regular nature connection to symptom relief for many health issues affecting people’s physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, including heart disease, depression, cancer, anxiety, attention disorders, and stress-related illnesses. Investing meaningful time mindfully with nature also makes people happy and healthy.

I offer gentle, slow-paced walks, through beautiful landscapes and exclusive use of a private woodland on the beautiful Notgrove estate. The 1500 acre Notgrove estate nestled within rolling hills and untouched wild woodland, is an ideal place to experience Forest Bathing, connect with nature and practice simple, yet powerful guided natural mindfulness exercises.

The Natural Mindfulness walks and Forest Bathing experiences can be custom-made for small groups or 1 to 1 sessions. This ensures minimal harm to the natural environment and a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. You do not need any prior experience or fitness level to join the walk, as it’s suitable for any age, ability or fitness level. Visitors are encouraged to bring weather-appropriate footwear and clothing.

Cotswold Natural Mindfulness wellbeing walks, Forest Bathing experiences and Mindfulness based Nature therapy sessions, are a perfect opportunity to unplug from daily life, invest some quality time in nature, and reconnect with yourself and others. You’ll leave feeling happier, healthier, more relaxed, and with beautiful memories of your time surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Cotswolds.
