Let me help you reconnect with nature
Ever since I was a little girl, I was finding joy in gardens, fields and forests. My first memories of myself are from my grandparents’ countryside house. I remember squatting next to my grandmother in the flower bed, playing with the warms, as she was pulling out weeds. I was fascinated by these creatures! I was equally curious about the life of the hedgehog that would visit us every other night - what does it eat, where does it sleep, how come it is so soft and spiky at the same time? Observing the natural world from so close from so early on was definitely as important as my formal degrees.
I discovered the healing power of nature when I was teenager and had to undergo a surgery. I had to stay in bed for a week to recover and my mother took me to our countryside house. She assembled a bed under an old oak tree behind the house, brought a bunch of blankets and created a little nest for me. I remember waking up, looking straight into the sky and the massive tree crown, its winter-ready almost naked branches and feeling absolutely protected by its power and wisdom. Long before I knew anything about the healing power of nature, I knew that nature feels like home.
On a more formal note, I am a certified TMT Shinrin Yoku Guide. I have been offering individual and group Shinrin Yoku sessions since 2021, sharing my passion and knowledge about nature. I have also been collaborating with yoga retreats, offering sessions on nature connectedness. I have delivered shinrin-yoku sessions in English, German, Spanish and Russian.
Just drop me an email, if you want to know more.
I look forward to welcoming you on my sessions!
