ANFT Nature & Forest Therapy Guide
Certified (provisional) 2024 | ANFT Cohort #120

My journey to becoming a forest therapy guide is deeply rooted in my love for nature. Nature has always been my sanctuary—a place where I can destress, find clarity, and feel a deep sense of grounding. The park near my home has been my go-to retreat, where I feel a profound connection with the trees and the earth. Trees, in particular, remind me of the importance of being grounded and present, and this connection has been a cornerstone of my well-being. There's something magical about nature, an inexplicable sense of coming home whenever I spend time outdoors. This feeling has inspired me to share the therapeutic benefits of nature with others, to help them find the same peace and clarity that I have experienced. My training with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) solidified my desire to work with nature not only to support my own well-being but also to guide others on their own journeys of healing and self-discovery. Becoming a forest therapy guide allows me to combine my passion for nature with my commitment to supporting others in their mental and emotional well-being. I believe that by fostering a deeper connection with nature, we can all find a sense of balance, peace, and belonging.
