Gary, Chia

ANFT Nature & Forest Therapy Guide
Certified 2023 | ANFT Cohort #92

As a trained social worker, Gary’s passion and purpose has been in service to others, whether through volunteerism or through his full-time work. Compassion fatigue and burnout of his close colleagues in the sector made him think about what it means to care for self, and he sought alternative ways of healing that brought him down the path of Mindfulness and Forest Therapy. He now juggles his time between conducting wellness talks, supervising younger social workers and dabbling in creative pursuits, like playing the native american flute!

Combining both mindful practices and forest bathing, he hopes to allow others to experience the healing power of Nature and to reconnect with ourselves to achieve a sense of peace and balance in our lives.
