Hi, I’m Jesse, a certified shinrinyoku practitioner and published author. I also work as a regional development specialist and sustainability coordinator in Japan.

What is shinrinyoku?

Shinrinyoku, known as forest bathing, is the Japanese wellness practice of nature immersion. It started in Japan in the 1980’s as a way for overworked Japanese to destress. It has since evolved into the public health practice of forest therapy, a reserached-backed nature immersion practice that is recognized by an increasing amount of governments internationally as a proven way to improve mental and physical well-being.

Take a look at shinrinyoku guided experiences, shinrinyoku bases, international shinrinyoku sessions, and some tours in Japan that focus on the intersection of wellness and Japanese culture.
