Growing up, I always found a unique sense of solace in my own imaginary forest. As both a child and an adult, whenever the harshness of reality became overwhelming, this personal mental haven was my retreat, offering comfort and peace. It helped me combat feelings of depression and anxiety. The seamless blend of the physical with the mental, reality with imagination, formed my personal antidote to life’s various challenges. This dual refuge – the forest and my mind – was not just restorative; it was vital for my survival, providing me with direction, purpose, and an intrinsic love for the forest. This intimate bond with nature nurtured my passion for human wellbeing, seeking personal freedom,  forest conservation, and food sustainability,  leading to the birth of the Forest Healing Sphere, which is part of my  project NATURE HEALING SPHERE, including also Desert Healing Sphere, based both in Japan and Argentina.

“Forest means life, and life means forest.” My journey took me from the borders of my native Poland to England, and ultimately to Japan, where I spent a significant decade of my life. What started as an internship in Japan blossomed into a life-changing journey. After completing my master’s degree in chemistry in the UK, I was drawn back to Japan for a doctorate in engineering,  applied physics.

In Japan, as an educator, I embraced a reflective, student-centered teaching approach, all the while immersing myself in the enchanting mysteries of the Japanese forests. It was among these trees that I found my true calling – guiding others through forest bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, helping them on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.

My faith in human goodness, strong connection with nature, and scientific and educational background converged into a passion for creating comprehensive Shinrin-Yoku Guide training. I continue to contribute to the field.

With more than 120 Forest Bathing Guides trained under my wing and a Quality Management System Certificate (ISO 9001:2015) for my training services (The Mindful Tourist – 森の心・人の心 – Journey Through Life With the Wisdom of the Forest ), I founded Shinrin Yoku Association.

I still have a lot to learn and all of these have not come without trials and errors – that is the best part. I only succeeded maybe about 5%  in my endeavours  (LOL).
