I would love to take you on a guided meditative experience doing Shinrin Yoku, Forest Bathing or creative EcoTherapy in the beautiful South West of Australia.
We all know when we spend more time in nature, we feel better. This isn’t a coincidence!

Come and experience some South West nature. Learn evidence-based techniques to calm, bring joy and heal your soul.
Suitable for anyone in need of time out !
“The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy.”
“The opportunity that Shinrin-Yoku gave me was to completely and utterly feel immersed in nature. During the period of walking barefoot SLOWLY through the forest I felt that I was transformed back to my childhood and experienced special memories with such clarity, it brought me to tears. It was an incredible experience and, for the first time in many months, I slowed down and was able to appreciate everything around me. Afterwards I felt a true sense of elation and peace which stayed with me for several days afterwards. I would definitely recommend Jacquie’s Shinrin-Yoku session to anyone who is considering giving this a go!” Jenny P, who experienced Shinrin Yoku with Jacquie as her guide and has been raving about it ever since!

Full Moon Forest Bathing
Leading up to Christmas it is always good to really slow down and find time to rest in nature. Especially when the kids break for holidays, and you know that things are only going to get busier, unless you really pace yourself. So it’s a fabulous time to check in with your mind and body, enjoy the warmer weather and relaxing in the gentle silver glow of the full moon, surrounded by trees and water. So why not come along?!
Catering for you…
If you have a group of 2 or more and want to Forest bathe at a time that suits you outside of these dates, when you are visiting the South West, then get in touch with me directly so I can plan something wonderful for you !
