Shinrin Yoku Single Sessions
On occasions I have availability for single shinrin yoku sessions, which I put out on social media when they are available. If you would like to be directly alerted to available sessions via email you can request to be put on a waitlist by emailing with the request jlangerecotherapycounselling@gmail.com .
Shinrin yoku is not psychotherapy or counselling and is not appropriate for more complex or in depth work. For more complex or in depth work we can pursue ecotherapeutic counselling together, if you would like to.
The purpose of these single shinrin yoku sessions are to give you the tools to do shinrin yoku practice for yourself, to empower an everyday good mental health hygiene practice. This will be partly educational and partly meditative practice based.
What is shinrin yoku? I consider shinrin yoku to be sensually attentive slow walking in woods, forests or parks. The practice follows from the research of forest medicine scientists in Japan - in particular those directed by Miyazaki Yoshifumi and Qing Li. The benefits from shinrin yoku can include reduced stress, lower blood pressure, increased immunity and cancer resistance, improved sleep, better concentration and improved mood.
Please see the More Information page for information regarding costs and cancellations.
“Julian has a wonderful calming presence, his shinrin yoku therapy is a great antidote to the rush of modern life, and a great alternative to traditional living room or office based therapies. He is knowledgeable and brings absolute trust to his sessions, the calm way he takes you through his different tasks while guiding you through beautiful woodland walks feels like you're walking with a friend. I would 100% recommend Julian to anyone!” a client review, posted on the Facebook page
