Adore Your Outdoors

I was unsure how I would feel taking part in the forest bathing experience with Sonya. I was also excited about experiencing something new that would give me the tools to support mindfulness.Sonya was an inspiration. My experience of the woodlands and bathing in nature was overwhelming. Heightening my sensory experience of the sounds and smell of the outdoors. I had time to focus on my own well-being through guided meditation.I live my life at 100 mikes an hour and Sonya has given me the tools and confidence to embrace the time spent outside in a quiet meaningful way. To appreciate the importance of slowing down and immersing myself in nature and quieting my mindThank you Sonya it was life changing

I felt very tired when we started the session. After connecting with another participant and the immersive time in beautiful surroundings I felt awake and relaxed. Sonya's forest bathing session was a real gift. It reminded me how important making a conscious effort to appreciate and do nothing in nature is to maintain a good health. It quietens the mind.

A wonderful immersive experience - fully engaging all the senses, Sonya is a wonderful guide! A friendly group and a little bit of rain even enhanced the experience. I left feeling blissful - connected, calmer and the feeling has lasted so I’m encouraged to get outside more. Hug a tree today, you’ll feel better for it.

Even though the weather gods weren't smiling on us during our forest bathing, Sonya managed to make it a mindful and relaxing experience and after a while we didn't even mind the rain. I loved the pine needle tea too.

None of our retreat guests knew what to expect from forest bathing (we were asked if swimming cossies were required!) but Sonya expertly guided us to connect with nature for the most beautifully relaxing and cathartic experience. It released some deep emotion and healing tears.Sonya is a true professional, arriving early and putting everyone at ease. She's a real pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend her sessions to other business owners (and individuals) looking for a unique and meaningful experience.

We met at Hillier Gardens on a damp cool morning. Great introduction By Sonya introducing the concept behind Forest Bathing and having done Forest Bathing previously I was really looking forward to this. We mindfully walked to a spot where we could lie down and absorb our surroundings. A gentle half an hour of a led mindful meditation, gentle rain dripping on my face. So peaceful. A further mindful walk through the gardens really taking in our surroundings - taking time to really look, smell and listen to the plants and trees. Sadly the rain became really heavy. We returned to the cover of the restaurant, drank delicious pine needle tea and gradually returned to the ‘real’ world. I felt calm and relaxed. Sonya’s guidance throughout was gentle and mindful. On a slightly negative note I would have preferred a slightly less formal setting. I would absolutely recommend this experience, it’s great to remove oneself from the hustle and bustle of our lives and just remind us of the wonders of nature.

I came to the Forest Bathing session in much need of nature connection, nurturing and rest. It was a truly beautiful experience in a gorgeous setting with a lovely group of like-minded souls. Sonya's gentle guidance really helped me to deepen into the moment and feel the peace and vibrancy of the landscape and kinship with our tree and plant friends. I feel increased reverence for nature and a strong desire to spend more slow time out in nature. Thank you Sonya, you're amazing!
