Forest Bathing with Summer

In this episode, we are talking with Summer Lajoie about the health benefits of nature. We explore forest bathing and sit spots, and simple related practices you can do at home. Summer Lajoie is a certified Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and has a background in art, design and photography, as well as education and community leadership. She turned to Nature Therapy and mindfulness meditation during a very difficult time in her life and learned to use these tools to manage her lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety. She established her small holistic arts business, Listening Pines, last year in hopes to bring this form of healing to others in need and currently hosts public Forest Bathing walks twice monthly at a local nature center in Colorado Springs. Summer offers a variety of private sessions as well and is always seeking opportunities to collaborate and connect with people and nature.
