Forest Bathing & Nature Therapy Walk

Overview

Forest Bathing is the simple practice of walking slowly through the forest, connecting with the environment with all senses rather than rushing to a destination. Enjoy the magic along the way! I invite you to breathe deep and pause long enough to notice the gentle breeze on your skin, the sounds of the forest, and your busy mind relaxing its pace.

Studies show that time in nature offers physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits that linger even after you've left the trail behind. A guided forest therapy walk is a unique avenue to unlocking these benefits. Hope to see you on the trail soon!

I was able to open my head and heart to new sensations and get into a much-needed relaxed place. The experience was very low-impact and our guide introduced us to focus on what our senses are taking in. I was able to detach from my busy world and just be in nature, sitting by the water and becoming less anxious. I slept like a baby that night!

What an amazing day in the woods! Thank you for a lovely morning with a cold start at 43 degrees. Was a bit worried about the temperature but it was perfect with my sweater and light jacket and gloves. It was great to be completely disconnected and have a guide to talk about the history, the foliage and give us time to share and reflect on our thoughts. For someone who would like to try out hiking with a guide, this was a perfect, easy walk to test the waters. By signing up online, it was super easy and great directions were mailed well in advance. Thank you Asheville Wellness Tours for a great experience.

It makes us so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your time in the woods. Taking a few moments to unplug and just be in nature can feel like a true reset, even with the cooler temps :) We hope to adventure in the forest with you again!

Amazing, unforgettable experience with Dr. Mattie Decker! My husband and I took her tour in October 2020. We were not sure what exactly to expect when we booked our tour, as we were not familiar with forest bathing, but are so glad we did! Mattie's knowledge, guidance, and demeanor were fabulous! We learned so much from her in addition to experiencing a deep connection to nature and our inner selves! We could not recommend this tour highly enough!
