ABOUT JEN

Jen Borrow is a certified Forest Therapy guide through the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy with a Masters in Transpersonal Ecopsychology from Naropa University.

“Forest Therapy has deeply impacted me in mind, body and soul. I have witnessed first hand its impact on those I have guided. I cannot assume to know what medicine nature may have for someone during the walk. There is no prescribed outcome or a map for what “should” be experienced. Each person’s journey is unique. For me, Forest Therapy is a coming together of all that I have studied and learned over the years, into one practice. I am so honored to be able to offer this to others.”
