researcher on the health benefits of forest bathing. Gary\u2019s love of nature started at a young age; something Gary credits to his father. He has an inquisitive mind and likes to understand how things are and not just accept the way things appear to be. When Gary looks at forests, birds and animals, he is amazed and moved with wonder at the beauty he sees and feels. This worldview formed the foundation for The Forest Bathing Institute. He always wondered if there were health benefits to spending time in forests and couldn\u2019t understand why these incredible areas had not been explored more. The discovery of Forest Bathing joined big dots and Gary\u2019s research began.<\/p><p>In 2018, Gary, alongside Olga Terebenina, pioneered Forest Bathing+ in the UK. Between them, they have led hundreds of woodland therapy sessions for the general public, health care professionals, NHS staff, Defra, Natural England, Forestry England, County Councils and world experts in nature therapy.<\/p><p>Gary regularly consults with the government, universities (70 currently), healthcare providers, wildlife charities and national landowners. Gary is regularly quoted in the national and international press and featured in countless publications, including The Guardian and Telegraph. His media appearances include BBC TV, BBC Earth, BBC Radio and print. In 2025, Gary and Olga co-authored \u2018The Healing Power of Trees\u2019 book and Forest Bathing Card Deck (available at retailers across the UK and the US, as well as online) to spread awareness about forest bathing practice and make it accessible to more people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button

Global Women Entrepreneurs to be Inspired 2024 by Global Woman Magazine, and an environmental activist. From early childhood, Olga was interested in nature and ways we can protect and enhance natural environments around us. When faced with health problems in her late teens, Olga turned to nature and found that spending time in nature was not only an effective solution for her health problems but that these findings were backed up by research and could, in turn, inspire a movement to help protect habitats for current and future generations.<\/p><p>In 2018, together with Gary Evans, Olga set up The Forest Bathing Institute \u2013 one of the world-leading organisations in the research, events, and training into the health and wellbeing benefits of nature. In just a few years, TFBI has grown into a large team worldwide.\u00a0<\/p><p>Olga was featured on BBC Sounds People Fixing the World, BBC Two Countryfile, the Wellbeing Lab with Will Young, and the MUDWTR Trends with Benefits podcast.<\/p><p>Olga hopes to spread the benefits of spending time in nature and ecological protection to communities while working with the media, governments, universities, and communities worldwide. Her dream is to make forest bathing accessible to all people and see it, alongside other nature therapies, become part of national health and educational systems around the globe. Her current projects include running the TFBI All Nature Connected Podcast and spreading the Institute\u2019s work to other countries around the globe.<\/p><p>In 2025, Olga, together with Gary Evans, co-authored their book \u2018The Healing Power of Trees\u2019 and Forest Bathing Card Deck (available at retailers across the UK and the US, as well as online) to spread awareness about the forest

She took part in a study with the University of Derby comparing Forest Bathing with Mindfulness, and has guided Forest Bathing events for public, corporate and celebrity groups across the UK, including at Sherwood Forest, Leith Hill Rhododendron Woods, Richmond Park and Chiswick House &amp; Gardens. In 2021 she led the inaugural TFBI Forest Bathing event at The Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew and established TFBI forest bathing guide team, which has since seen over 1500 participants enjoy Forest Bathing at Kew Gardens.<\/p><p>As the Founder of Meet in Nature Susanne specialises in teaching professional and entrepreneurial women how to effortlessly energise, enliven and empower themselves with nature-smart tools, so that they can create the freedom and change they wish to see in their lives and our world. She has written for Kew Magazine, was featured on Sky News and UK Health Radio, and enjoys sharing her nature- wellbeing insights and practical techniques as a podcast guest, speaker, feature-writer and via her blog at www.meetinnature.com<\/p><p>Susanne\u2019s vision is to help foster a heart-centred, reciprocal, restorative relationship between people and planet. She is passionate about reminding us that nature is alive within us all, and that when we begin to consciously appreciate and care more deeply for the natural world and ourselves as part of it, we will thrive together. Sharing the beauty and restorative powers of the natural world continues to fill her heart with joy and gratitude. Her favourite sense is the sense of smell, and when she\u2019s not under a forest canopy smelling soil, you may find her in a Surrey garden smelling the roses. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClose\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43b9bf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43b9bf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>South London\/Surrey<br \/>Joined the TFBI team in 2018<br \/><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem; font-weight: bold;\"><br \/><\/span><\/h5><h5><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem; font-weight: bold;\">Head of Kew Gardens TFBI Forest Bathing Guide Team<\/span><\/h5><h5>Senior Forest Bathing Guide<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2ae7cd\" data-id=\"e2ae7cd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35ec6a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35ec6a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 align=\"center\">Elisabetta Murgia<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29aea5f premium-modal-dismissible-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-modal-box\" data-id=\"29aea5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_modal_box_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-modal-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;show_on_exit&quot;:false}\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-trigger-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-toggle=\"premium-modal\" data-target=\"#premium-modal-29aea5f\" class=\"premium-modal-trigger-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tfb.institute\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Elisabetta-Murgia-e1763915864217.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Elisabetta Murgia\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"premium-modal-29aea5f\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal\"\r\n\t\t\trole=\"dialog\"\r\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none\"\r\n\t\t\t>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-dialog\" data-delay-animation=\"\" data-modal-animation=\"fadeInDown animated-fast\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElisabetta Murgia\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-close-button-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">&times;<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Highlights\/Milestones at TFBI:<\/strong> <br \/>Involved in Corporate sessions at Woburn Forest, Royal Holloway University, Northern Eastern University. <br \/>Part of the Kew Gardens team, participated in the Joe Wicks festival<\/p><p><strong>Bio:<\/strong><\/p><p>Elisabetta\u2019s love and connection to nature, along with a strong desire to help others, guided her toward her ideal profession. Becoming a Forest Bathing+ Guide has fulfilled her life\u2019s purpose in every way.<\/p><p>To Elisabetta, nature is a safe place \u2014 a space that nourishes her soul and embraces all her emotions. She grew up on a Mediterranean island, where she connected deeply with the sea, the land, and the trees, spending time foraging and helping her grandparents in their vineyard and olive grove.<\/p><p>Elisabetta has developed a passion for gardening and botany, and loves learning about trees and flowers. She is especially interested in growing herbs and cultivating plants that support wildlife and pollinators. Writing and photography are among Elisabetta\u2019s other loves, and she finds her creativity flourishes when she is in nature. In the future, Elisabetta hopes to develop the skills to encourage her participants to sketch or write after a Forest Bathing session.<\/p><p>She recently trained as a Grief First Aider, driven by her wish to help those dealing with bereavement. She believes that nature can offer deep comfort, and she feels that Forest Bathing can be a soothing practice for those suffering from loss.<\/p><p>Alongside leading sessions in various locations, Elisabetta enjoys talking about Forest Bathing, giving regular presentations to groups, and taking part in interviews.<\/p><p>Elisabetta is also passionate about bringing more nature into urban environments, believing that creating green spaces in cities is vital for giving people the chance to pause and reset during their busy days.<\/p><p>Currently, Elisabetta is working on introducing a programme of Forest Bathing sessions in schools, while holding a few more dreams close to her heart.<\/p><p>Elisabetta hopes to continue growing her work, bringing Forest Bathing to individuals, companies, schools, and charities \u2014 helping many more people in the years to come.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClose\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93e3451 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93e3451\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>London (North West, West and North, East and surroundings).<\/h5><h5>Joined the TFBI team in 2023<\/h5><h5>Forest Bathing Guide <\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1948494\" data-id=\"1948494\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5a4e3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5a4e3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 align=\"center\">Joanna Bristow-Watkins<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0a000d premium-modal-dismissible-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-modal-box\" data-id=\"a0a000d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_modal_box_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-modal-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;show_on_exit&quot;:false}\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-trigger-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-toggle=\"premium-modal\" data-target=\"#premium-modal-a0a000d\" class=\"premium-modal-trigger-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tfb.institute\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Joanna-Bristow-Watkins-e1763916168888.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Joanna Bristow-Watkins\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"premium-modal-a0a000d\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal\"\r\n\t\t\trole=\"dialog\"\r\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none\"\r\n\t\t\t>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-dialog\" data-delay-animation=\"\" data-modal-animation=\"fadeInDown animated-fast\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoanna Bristow-Watkins\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-close-button-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">&times;<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Three TFBI Highlights:<\/strong> Co-leading two six-week Social Prescribing programmes with Harmony in Nature\u2014one for Woking Mind and another for young homeless adults, asylum seekers and refugees, recovering addicts and individuals experiencing mental health challenges. These projects were delivered in collaboration with the University of Derby (2022) and University College London (2023), evidencing the measurable wellbeing benefits of nature connection for diverse and often marginalised communities. Feedback from both programmes was profound and humbling, with participants describing life-changing shifts in confidence, perspective and inner peace. Another highlight has been guiding groups of first-time participants and witnessing their transformations over time\u2014some so inspired by their experience of forest bathing that they have since trained as guides themselves.<\/p><p><strong>Bio:<\/strong><\/p><p>Based in Surrey and South London, Joanna co-founded Harmony in Nature in 2021 with fellow Senior Guide Katie Robinson, offering regular public and corporate wellbeing immersions in ancient and semi-ancient woodland. The team has since established Harmony in Nature CIC to enable future access to nature-led grant funding and community wellbeing initiatives.<\/p><p>Joanna\u2019s love of nature was rooted in childhood. Growing up in Oatlands, Weybridge, she spent countless hours exploring local woods and lakes with her sisters, nurturing a lifelong sense of belonging in the natural world.<\/p><p>After more than 15 years in senior management specialising in customer care and training, Joanna founded Harmony Healing in 1999, blending Ancient Egyptian philosophies with modern holistic practice. Through this work she both practises and teaches energy-based healing systems that empower individuals to restore balance and expand spiritual awareness.<\/p><p>A passionate advocate of mindful living and seasonal awareness, Joanna writes educational blogs and leads lunar and spiritual workshops integrating nature connection with holistic self-care.

Growing up, she spent much of her time climbing trees and swimming in rivers; her connection to the natural world has always been deeply rooted.<br \/>A few years ago, following some significant life changes, Chantelle began to feel a disconnect in herself and the way she was living. The pandemic gave her the chance to pause, reflect, and dive deeper into her passion for mental wellbeing, holistic therapies, and mindful living. The pull back to nature\u2014for healing and balance\u2014was so strong that she chose to pivot her career away from the corporate world and towards where she truly felt she belonged: in nature and supporting others.<br \/>After attending a Forest Bathing+ session for her own wellbeing and curiosity, Chantelle realised almost instantly that she wanted to become a guide herself. Training with the TFBI inspired her to set up her own nature-based wellbeing practice, where she now leads Forest Bathing+ sessions as well as a variety of other activities, always weaving in the ethos of nature for mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Her work supports people in reconnecting with the natural world, while also encouraging respect for and protection of the South Downs and nearby ancient woodlands.<br \/>Alongside this, Chantelle volunteers with the National Trust as part of the Ladies Coppicing Group, helping to manage and protect her local countryside for future generations. She also supports young adults through Duke of Edinburgh Award training, sharing her love of the outdoors and encouraging the next generation to discover its many benefits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClose\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57cb767 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57cb767\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Based in Hampshire and working across Hampshire &amp; West Sussex, England<\/h5><h5>Joined the TFBI in 2025<\/h5><h5>Strategic Partnerships &amp; Management Team Admin Support<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8722eb2\" data-id=\"8722eb2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00ac65e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00ac65e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 align=\"center\">Placeholder<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2a4bee premium-modal-dismissible-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-modal-box\" data-id=\"f2a4bee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_modal_box_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-modal-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;show_on_exit&quot;:false}\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-trigger-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-toggle=\"premium-modal\" data-target=\"#premium-modal-f2a4bee\" class=\"premium-modal-trigger-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tfb.institute\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Katie-Robinson-Bio-Pic-circular.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Katie Robinson Bio Pic, circular\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"premium-modal-f2a4bee\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal\"\r\n\t\t\trole=\"dialog\"\r\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none\"\r\n\t\t\t>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-dialog\" data-delay-animation=\"\" data-modal-animation=\"fadeInDown animated-fast\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKatie Robinson\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-close-button-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">&times;<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Having spent many family holidays and weekends from a young age walking, youth hostelling and being outdoors whatever the weather, particularly in the Lake District and North Yorkshire Moors, Katie feels right at home with Forest Bathing.

Kate Bottley, who, as Katie discovered when the program was aired, had felt it like \u2018a religious experience\u2019. Two other highlights were the two Green Social Prescribing 6-week programmes co-run with Joanna Bristow-Watkins, also part of university research projects. Leading multiple sessions, Katie and Joanna really saw, heard and felt the cumulative and often life-changing benefits. In the 2022 Mind group, 9 of 10 completed it, and in 2023 the enthusiasm and feedback from some of the homeless young people was particularly touching.<br \/><strong>Bio:<\/strong> <br \/>Katie was lucky to spend most family holidays outdoors, hiking or camping, so nature was present early in her life, and Forest Bathing was like reinterpreting earlier experiences on a deeper level. As well as regular public events with Joanna Bristow-Watkins, as Harmony In Nature, Katie and Jo run corporate events, and collaborate with other wellness or outdoor craft providers. <br \/>Although Katie\u2019s career was in language teaching and publishing, natural heath was a constant: nutrition, massage, energy healing, herbs, homeopathy and essential oils enabled her to raise two children to adulthood without much external intervention. Reclaiming Our Natural Health is Katie\u2019s six-part intuitive wellness programme for adults. Katie loves personal development, and in recent years have trained as a Firewalking Instructor and an intuitive coach.<br \/>Katie has lived abroad, speaks three other languages, and knows that curiosity, love and kindness are what will change the world. Katie\u2019s vision is to see the realisation of what our ancestors knew: that everything we need to thrive is either already inside us or found in nature, if we are curious enough to look.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\"

The study aimed to explore the impact of Forest Bathing on wellbeing, with participants referred by health and social care professionals.<\/p><p><strong>Bio:<\/strong><\/p><p>Since childhood, Rosanna has spent weekends and free time with her family outdoors \u2014whether in the countryside, by the sea, or in the mountains. When she moved from Italy to London, Rosanna found herself spending much more time indoors, which had an impact on her mental health. As a counsellor, she recognised that something was out of balance.<\/p><p>It was her friend, Susanne Meis, who introduced her to a Forest Bathing session. Rosanna was amazed at how quickly people\u2019s autonomic nervous systems shifted in nature, and she wanted to understand why. This curiosity led her to train as a Forest Bathing Guide, becoming part of the second cohort taught by Gary and Olga.<\/p><p>Since then, Rosanna has run numerous sessions at Newlands Corner and was fortunate to lead an early study with The Forest Bathing Institute, offering six Forest Bathing sessions to participants experiencing mental health challenges. This experience reinforced her belief that nature is one of the most effective and efficient ways to support mental wellbeing.<\/p><p>After delivering regular Forest Bathing sessions in the beautiful Leith Hill, she is now honoured to be part of the wonderful team bringing Forest Bathing to Kew Gardens.<\/p><p>Rosanna\u2019s therapeutic work and Forest Bathing practice complement each other perfectly. Rosanna is a CBT therapist with the NHS and also runs her own private counselling and CBT practice. Mental health remains Rosanna\u2019s primary focus, and she is delighted to be part of The Forest Bathing Institute. Its mission\u2014to reach as many people as possible and improve mental health through effective Forest Bathing practices\u2014deeply aligns with Rosanna\u2019s own values.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClose\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05410c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05410c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>South West London<br \/><br \/><\/h5><h5>Joined TFBI in 2019<br \/><br \/><\/h5><h5>Senior Forest Bathing Guide and Mental Health Support for TFBI members<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-485a041\" data-id=\"485a041\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6ae695 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6ae695\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 align=\"center\">Placeholder<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-343151b premium-modal-dismissible-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-modal-box\" data-id=\"343151b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_modal_box_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-modal-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;show_on_exit&quot;:false}\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-trigger-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-toggle=\"premium-modal\" data-target=\"#premium-modal-343151b\" class=\"premium-modal-trigger-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tfb.institute\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AngelaColebrook-ChelseaShoesmithPhotography_-72.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"AngelaColebrook-ChelseaShoesmithPhotography_-72\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"premium-modal-343151b\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal\"\r\n\t\t\trole=\"dialog\"\r\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none\"\r\n\t\t\t>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-dialog\" data-delay-animation=\"\" data-modal-animation=\"fadeInDown animated-fast\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAngela Colebrook\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-close-button-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">&times;<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 17px; font-style: normal;\">Angela discovered Forest Bathing and has not looked back, first experiencing the benefits as a participant and then jumping at the chance to train and qualify as a Forest Bathing+ Guide with the Forest Bathing Institute (TFBI) in 2021.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 17px; font-style: normal;\">Angela has a human resources and training background and has been a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personal and Development (CIPD) for over three decades.
