Jovena, Loon

ANFT Nature & Forest Therapy Guide
Certified 2023 | ANFT Cohort #82

Jovena was a marketer in a global firm until meeting with a mid-life crisis which drove her to craft a purposeful and balanced lifestyle for herself. She chanced upon forest bathing while finding ways to manage her anxiety and fatigue, and was inspired by the experience to join a 6-month training by ANFT to learn the science and art behind the practice.

Having experienced the health benefits of forest bathing firsthand and discovering her deep connections with nature, she now lives the calling to be a voice for the forest, and the bridge between humans and nature.

She founded Gentle Walks in 2022 with the mission of promoting gentleness and mindful living in the city, and advocating for mental and holistic well-being through nature experiences.

Her way of guiding is also psychology-informed, being equipped with a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling from The School of Positive Psychology.
