Reconnect with Nature through Forest Therapy on Bainbridge Island

At Bainbridge Adventures, we offer more than just tours of the island’s stunning tourist spots. We invite you to immerse yourself in a unique and transformative experience: Japanese (Shinrin-yoku) Forest Bathing, also known as Forest Therapy. This therapeutic practice is guided by Tina Guldhammer Frei, a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT).

What is Forest Therapy?

Forest Therapy, also known as Shinrin-Yoku or Forest Bathing, is a practice that involves immersing oneself in the natural environment to enhance health, wellness, and happiness. Originating in Japan, this practice encourages individuals to slow down and engage with nature through their senses, fostering a deep connection with the environment.
