Alaska Nature Immersion offers Forest Therapy in the beauty of the Alaskan Wilderness. This practice, inspired by Japanese Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing), provides you with a transformative experience to promote healing and wellness through immersion in the forest, fostering a deeper connection to nature. We aim to facilitate moments of mindfulness, gratitude and rejuvenation, allowing you to tap into the restorative power of the natural world.

The tour takes place in the sanctuary of Haines, Alaska, where mountains rise high from the coastal fjords, the oceans teem with wildlife and rivers flow from glacial waters. Your Forest Therapy Guide is certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. You will be fully immersed in the healing energy of the forest by connecting deeply with your senses.

This was a lovely tour, offering a unique experience to unplug and slow down while experiencing the wonders and beauty of Alaska's forest. Aimee is a warm and kind guide who expertly creates a safe and sacred space for all. I loved walking quietly around the woods engaging all my senses. The homemade rosehip tea at the end was delicious. Highly recommend.

Aimee has warm and joyful smile, we walked slow, deeply breathing the amazing wild rose,and all natural fragrance around us in the air, feel the subtle sound and movement form the ground cover with soft moss ,dry leaves and pine needles, feel the wind, watch the beautiful scenery with mountains and peaceful ocean,the reflection from the sun on water looks like shining glass in some area, we hug trees, the love energy comes out from trees was so amazing,my body felt warmer,and I feel stillness in the air n in my body, finally I started to unwind, some area in my body start to go through self healing,we sit down in a circle did meditation and talked what we experienced,we walked more and then had a small picnic at the park ,I really like that wild rose tea,it was delightful. I feel like spending hours with a guided light worker,a forest therapist, helped me open the gate again to reconnect with higher source,so I can realign myself to the right direction and manifest easier, BTW, I do had one issue with family is problem solved,I feel so blessed now.i am glad I took this trip in Haines and I highly recommend Aimee,go experience the reconnection,we all can be better souls

I had the honor of participating in a Forest Immersion with Aimee. The beautiful setting was in the forest along with water and snow capped mountain views. The participants were guided in walks and meditations using the 5 senses. I was able to leave life's stresses behind and connect with the earth and all is has to offer. It was truly a restorative experience that I am so grateful for. If you live here, or are visiting, I highly recommend this experience. You will love Aimee. Her love and appreciation of nature is food for the soul!
