Forest Bathing #23 - Treespeed with Jeannie Nairn, Woodlands Breathing

Treespeed; forest bathing with Highland Quietlife

Join me as I chat with fellow guide, Jeannie during this episode; we recorded this back in December, when she was kind enough to sit down for a blether one winters evening.

Jeannie guides under her company, Woodlands Breathing and is based in West Lothian, Scotland. During our chat we meander through the 'whys' and 'hows' of training to be a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and current inspirations, making it a great episode if you are considering training or newly qualified. Jeannie has also recently taken part in a research study of the effects of Forest Bathing on Long-COVID, you can read the paper here.

More About Highland Quietlife

Nature heals...sitting, sharing space with nature, admiring beauty or simply playing amongst it...nature is awesome. Welcome to the world of ‘Forest Bathing’.

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku is the practise of immersing yourself in nature; ‘bathing’ in the awesome goodness that trees release into the atmosphere; reaping the benefits from magic little things called ‘phytoncides’ and receiving mental calmness from the fractal patterns, vibrant shades of green and calming blues around us – what better place to do this than the Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands of Scotland.

Cath and Highland Quietlife can be found at www.highlandquietlife.co.uk and guides within the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland.
