Forest Bathing Switzerland’s is a growing network of certified guides in Switzerland specially trained to partner with nature to guide participants to discover the forest’s gifts.
Our purpose is
to return people to nature
to open new possibilities
and core healing.
We believe the forest is a partner (not a destination) for restoring connection with the natural world, oneself and with others. Reconnecting with nature heals relationships and reconnects communities.
Trained with nature facilitation, outdoor embodiment skills and wilderness first aid, we lead individuals and groups of all sizes. We offer nature-inspired invitations for new ideas and group collaboration.

Daniela Weber
Among other things, Daniela Weber is a certified guide for forest bathing. As a rational (“head person”) and feeling person, she knows both worlds, which she regularly balances in her life; because both parts want to be lived.
Many different trainings formed her mind, gave her knowledge/skills and broadened her awareness. Learning and practicing will never stop for her.
Her body (the very sensitive nervous system) and nature are her great teachers. With deep empathy, she helps people to get back into their very own connection with body, mind and soul for more health, creativity, joy and easier access to inner knowledge/wisdom.
One of her heart projects is, to reconnect people with nature again.
