Forest Therapy Comes Home: A Transformational Retreat at Canyon Ranch WoodsideMay 29–June 1, 2025🌿 www.somaticecotherapy.com🌲 Canyon Ranch Woodside

I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, just outside of Woodside—long before Canyon Ranch Woodside became a sanctuary for wellness nestled in the redwoods. That lifelong connection to the forest eventually led me to become a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) and later, a Forest Therapy Trail Consultant trained to create intentional spaces for healing in nature.
