LIZ - FOREST BATHING+ GUIDE
Here’s Liz welcoming you to the world of forest bathing from deep in the English woodland. Liz is dedicated to improving her health and helping others do the same, through meditation, mindfulness and forest bathing. Liz is now a very experienced guide and leads our FB+ training programme.
As a Forest Bathing+ Guide you will differentiate yourself from the crowd by offering a unique and empowering service,
only available via the TFBI immersive training experience
At TFBI we have developed each element of the our FB+ approach to mindfulness in nature over many years and hundreds of sessions; unlike some less rigorous trainings, with the support of university-led research, we are now proving the therapeutic effectiveness of FB+ indicating an improvement in many areas of wellbeing.
Our training is designed to set a benchmark in forest bathing as a nature therapy in the UK. For professional guide training, there is no online substitute for time spent learning in the woods.
Key highlights of the training
- A hybrid approach to learning to save cost for you where possible; partly online meetings and partly with us in the ancient woods
- Develop your mindfulness practice in Module 1
- Gain first hand, practical experience in the woods during Module 2
- Receive personal support at every stage of the journey
- Get your copy of our updated manuals to reference both during and after your studies with us
- CMA accredited certification and discounted Guide Insurance
