Community - partners with Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City, Utah. I do public and private forest bathing walks at Red Butte Gardens
I provide an experience that increases the well-bring of participants through guided immersive experiences which shift one’s perspective and renew the spirit. I explore slowly using one sense at a time, the ways of grounding to nature and capturing the beauty of the moment.

“My son and I had an opportunity to try forest bathing with Chris, and it was transformative. Chris was able to help my son understand the concepts and guide him through the invitations at a level he could understand. I learned powerful tools to help my son engage with the natural world, alleviate stress, and heal our souls. We left with a new sense of connectivity and peace. I highly recommend a forest bathing session with Chris.”

Forest Therapy originating in Japan, where it is called shinrin-yoku- is a practice, whose practitioners believe spending time immersed in nature is beneficial to our physical, mental and spiritual health. Forest Therapy has the general goal of increasing the well-being of participants through guided immersive experiences in forest and other natural settings such as Red Butte Gardens. Studies have found that forest bathing has positive physiological effects, , such as blood pressure reduction, improvement of autonomic and immune functions, as well as psychological effects of alleviating depression and improving mental health.
Managing our immune system is crucial in our time.
