SOWL brings the latest research and evidence-based methods on the health benefits of nature directly to clients. I provide safe, guided forest bathing sessions, nature-based exercise, and wellbeing excursions for adult groups, including accessible options. I am pleased to collaborate with healthcare and social care professionals, and each service is tailored to the specific needs of the group.
Planetary health is the guiding perspective of my work: healthy people in a healthy natural environment. All excursions are responsible and inclusive.
I hold a Master of Social Sciences degree, am a certified wilderness and nature guide, and a trained Health Forest, ForestMind, and forest therapy guide. I have been operating as a nature wellbeing entrepreneur since 2022. My company has been awarded the Nature Health Label by the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation and the Sustainable Travel Finland label. I am a partner company of Metsähallitus (National Forest Authority) and a member of the Finnish Nature and Programme Services Entrepreneurs’ Association (SULO).
My portfolio includes the most beautiful natural destinations in the Helsinki metropolitan area, from national parks and recreation areas to the archipelago and urban nature sites. Services are available throughout Uusimaa as needed.
Guided sessions range from 1 to 4 hours. The maximum group size per guide is 20 participants; additional guides can be arranged for larger groups.
Additional services—such as forest snacks/meals and other nature-based activities, transportation—are available through collaboration partners.
Services are offered year-round. Adapted nature-based activities can also be arranged indoors.
