Nature and Forest Therapy with Karyn was created by Karyn Folwell, an Occupational Therapist with over 30 years’ experience in healthcare and a passion for fostering joy and wellbeing in everyday life.

Karyn connected to nature early in her life, like most other kids exploring the grass, trees, plants or dirt for their textures, smells and tastes! This combined with frequent camping holidays in bush and beachside settings away from all things modern, cemented her love of the natural environment.

Her research on this connection led her to Forest Therapy Guiding, a way for all people to create greater connections with nature via structured, meditative activities. Since then, Karyn has become an certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and continues to run sessions throughout the natural landscape of The Great Ocean Road and surrounding Geelong region.
