Forest bathing, also known as shinrin-yoku in Japanese, is more than just a leisurely stroll through the woods. It’s an mindful practice that invites you to immerse yourself in nature using all your senses. Contrary to what the name suggests, you don’t have to go into water to forest bathe. Instead, you focus on what you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste.

Forest Bathing Wicklow is established by Cat de Wit following her training as a forest bathing guide with Nádúr, Centre for Integrative Forest Therapy and the Entrepreneurs Academy in 2021. Since moving from the Netherlands to Ireland in 2015, Cat has been working as a certified national tour guide. During the pandemic she re-trained as a forest bathing guide to share the profound benefits she found in nature with others.
Forest bathing is getting more and more attention from the media. Cat is no stranger to the microphone anymore and was featured on radio, tv, newspapers, and podcasts.
