The Full Story
​“If you want to discover yourself within a safe natural environment this is perfect” -MM
In the heart of the untamed wilderness of Haines, Alaska, Aimee found her sanctuary—a place where mountains reach toward the sky, oceans team with wildlife and rivers flow from glacial waters. Aimee's journey to Alaska Nature Immersion was born from a deep-rooted love of nature and a passion for human health with a desire to bridge the two.
As a registered Nurse with over 30 years of experience in childbirth, postpartum care, and community health, Aimee's journey from the bustling pace of healthcare to the serene tranquility of Alaska's forests was inspired by her own experience as a participant in a Forest Therapy Walk. Captivated by the profound impact of nature on holistic
Wellness and the reciprocity of human connection to nature, she embarked on a new path as a Certified Forest Therapy Guide.

Forest Therapy—inspired by the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) invites participants to immerse themselves fully in the healing energies of the forest by connecting deeply with their senses. For Aimee, forest bathing is more than just a walk in the woods; it's a journey of self-discovery, a meditation in motion, and communion with all the beings in nature (trees, plants, animals, rocks, water, sky, cloud, soil). She received her certification from the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, and now offers her own guided tours following the ANFT Standard Sequence.

Aimee's forest therapy walks are an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature. With her gentle guidance and nurturing presence, Aimee creates a sanctuary where worries melt away, and one can find solace in the embrace of the forest.

Through her own appreciation for meditation and slowing down from life’s fast pace, Aimee hopes to inspire others to lean into the transformative power of nature. Her walks offer a sacred space for introspection, healing, and renewal—
a chance to awaken the senses, quiet the mind, and reconnect with the essence of one's being and our intimate connection to the natural world. .
