Joan Vorderbruggen discovered forest bathing through her work as an architect and teacher researching the healing potential of human/nature connections. Having personally experienced transformative benefits from nature, she trained through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and became a certified forest therapy guide. Joan lives among the lakes, hills, forests, and prairies of West Central Minnesota, and gets outdoors daily no matter the weather.
