Forest Bathing

Experience Forest Bathing in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland

A new local venture is helping both residents and visitors discover the restorative power of nature through guided forest bathing experiences in the Sunshine Coast’s spectacular national parks — including the lush trails of Kondalilla National Park.

Founded in 2021, Nature & Forest Therapy Guide Jay has since led over 1,400 locals on gentle, science-backed immersions in nature, many through the Sunshine Coast Council’s Healthy Sunshine Coast program.

With a background in science education, Jay offers more than just a walk in the woods — she helps guests understand the region’s unique ecosystems and wildlife, while gently guiding them through a sequence of evidence-based activities designed to help slow down, relax, and reconnect.

As Jay explains, “Nature connectedness is more than knowing about the natural world — it’s about sensing, loving, and acting with care for it.”

Whether you’re new to forest bathing or looking to deepen your connection with nature, this is a uniquely calming and enriching experience — right here in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
