Daily Walks | Beginning May 14, 2026Forest Bathing & Forest Therapy Walks
The art of shinrin-yoku originated in Japan in the 1980’s.
Known in the West as forest therapy, or forest bathing, the practice is now popular worldwide.
Millions of people in Japan & Europe practice forest bathing at designated forest therapy bases each year.
As your guide, I will introduce you to the forests of Maine in a whole new way.
Try an upcoming walk and see what the forest can do for you.

Meet Your Guide
Hi - I’m Blainor.
I’m a mom, vintage motorcycle racer, & award-winning arts and community builder, with a background in horticulture and M.S. in Adult & Higher Education.
In 2025, as part of my graduate studies, I trained to become a forest therapy guide, and have been leading forest walks ever since.
I love trees and forests, planning routes and paths, and am fascinated by the positive effects forest bathing has on others - like improved mood, less stress, and better sleep.
I am not a therapist or a healer - I’m a guide who opens the door to the forest, to share its many benefits with you.
As your forest therapy guide, I will take you on an experience that develops the five senses and brings you into deeper connection with nature and yourself.
Our forests are full of beauty, presence, and connection, and they are waiting for you!
