Gentle forest walks to soothe your senses and calm your mind

Welcome to Wild Rose Forest Therapy

Hello and welcome. My name is Rosie McLoughlin, and I’m the founder of Wild Rose Forest Therapy. As a certified Forest Bathing Guide and Applied Psychologist with 12 years’ experience in mental health, I’m passionate about supporting others to connect deeply with nature.

Forest Bathing is a gentle, mindful invitation to engage your senses in a beautiful natural setting. Originating from the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, it offers a unique opportunity to soothe your mind, restore wellbeing, and build a close connection with the natural world. It’s a chance to step away from the busyness of daily life, slow down, and notice small moments of wonder—breathing deeply and appreciating the colours, scents, and textures all around you.

Join me for a carefully crafted experience where you’ll discover creative ways to connect with nature and enjoy meaningful sharing with others. Each gentle walk concludes with a calming tea ceremony.

This nurturing wellbeing practice can help reduce stress, boost your mood, and, over time, deepen your connection and appreciation for nature.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to make time for self-care—or to give as a thoughtful gift to someone special.

I did this experience with a friend at the end of the Autumn last year and it was wonderful. I felt so invigorated afterwards and totally refreshed. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Rosie is a great guide on the experience, very knowledgeable and welcoming. Totally recommend 🌿❤️

Rosie took our group of first-time forest bathers on a delightful journey to reconnect with nature. Rosie guided us through meditation sessions and provided us with thoughtful invitations to interact with our environment. It was a great experience, both relaxing and energising. I can't wait to go on another forest bathing walk and will definitely apply what Rosie taught us to my own walks to experience nature more actively and intentionally. I highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Wild Rose Forest Therapy. Vogrie country park, provided the perfect backdrop for this rejuvenating activity. Walking among the towering trees, I felt an immediate sense of calm and connection with nature. The guided forest bathing session was well-organized and truly immersive. I highly recommend Wild Rose Forest Therapy to anyone looking to reconnect with nature and find inner peace.

I have been on several Forest Bathing events with Wild Rose Forest Therapy. A lovely relaxing and thoughtful experience. Forest Bathing with Wild Rose helps me readjust and rebalance to be much more mindful in these troubling times. The experience has been positive for both my mental and physical health.

Went on my first guided forest bathing walk with Rosie. Really felt the benefit of slowing down in nature. Rosie was an awesome guide, gentle, calm and clear. Would recommend.
