Nature Forest Therapy

In the 21st century our body’s experience what is now called ‘technostress’.  Technostress is our continuous use of computer, mobile phones and information technology overload.

“As a result, stress levels may become too high and our body’s nervous system may become overstimulated.”

Therefore bringing such elevated levels down to healthy levels is important for the proper functioning of our wellbeing. Nature Therapy, which includes Shinrin Yoku or Forest Bathing, offers guided walks that are designed to reconnect us towards a balanced, natural healing state.

Compassion Focused Training

Stress during an infectious disease outbreak can sometimes cause the following:

  • Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones, your financial situation or job, or loss of support services you rely on.

  • Changes in sleep or eating patterns.

  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating.

  • Worsening of chronic health problems.

  • Worsening of mental health conditions.

  • Increased use of tobacco, and/or alcohol and other substances

  • The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people.

Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. However, these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID.

Coping with stress in a healthy and compassionate way will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.
