Description
A corporate-friendly, evidence-informed forest bathing session for teams. Delivered in a nearby park or green space (also works next to your venue). Accessible for all fitness levels; non-esoteric.
What we do:
– Arrival, quick briefing and digital pause; light intention-setting for the season.
– Grounding breath and gentle mobility; “arriving to the senses.”
– Slow mindful walk with seasonal invitations: noticing light through leaves, textures by touch, and a short scent moment with conifers/herbs.
– Pair/triad exercise: back-to-back listening
– Sit-spot 10–15 min with guided body scan and relaxation.
– Seasonal taste moment (wild herb tea or berry drink) and a practical toolkit: box-breath, 3-3-6 calm breath, and 30-second micro-pauses for workdays.
– Closing circle: one personal takeaway and one shared team intention. Sleeping pads and rain cloaks included.
Benefits
– Fast stress downshift and clearer focus that carries back to work
– Stronger team connection and psychological safety through shared calm
– Creativity boost from sensory reset and time in green space
– Practical self-regulation tools (breath & micro-breaks) to prevent digital overload
– Digital detox

About the Host
I have an academic education and 20+ years of experience from NGO/charity communications and marketing positions. I changed my career path to outdoors and nature-based wellness in 2022. I'm a certified Nature and Wilderness Guide and Forest Therapy Guide (2024). I have taken additional trainings in nature therapy (such as the Finnish wellbeing practices ForestMind and HealthForest). I have personal experience from burn-outs and depression and how nature ("Dr. Forest") helps you to recover.
I lead immersive, sensory, meditative forest bathing / shinrin-yoku -sessions suitable for all. I work year round in Greater Helsinki area's most beautiful nature spots. My customers are both Finnish and international business, public and NGO teams (recreation and wellbeing events).
I believe in evidence-based holistic practices (body-mind). I am an emphatetic, warm and charismatic personality, and passionate about helping You to reconnect with nature to reduce stress and find joy, creativity and your "factory settings" as a human being once again, which is a basis for success in work as well. I have guided about 300 people in my forest bathing sessions so far. I am happy to share with you the secret of the happiest country in the world: everyday nature connection.
I provide a safe space for everyone. My services have been awarded the Good Travel Seal in 2025, and sustainability is a central in everything I do.
I am also a Helsinki and Espoo City business partner and a member of Finnish Forestry Administration's business network.
Happy to guide you to the proven wellbeing benefits that nature offers!
