Review Body: Went without any expectations and went home feeling rejuvenated by nature. I love the mini series of experiential activities Youmin invited the group to do. Though simple, the activities invite us to stay grounded and pay attention to little moments which I often missed out in my fast-paced life.
One noteworthy point is while I attended a group session, Youmin facilitates the session in a way that provided each of us with our personal space to connect with nature. At the same time, we are also invited to share and listen to each others' experience in an open manner, giving us a chance to reflect on different perspectives.
Youmin is also very thorough in her forest bathing session as she prepared insect repellent, sitting mats, tea and snacks for all participants. The forest bathing session is indeed a restful experience to recharge and rejuvenate, and is something that differs from a nature walk or trekking experience🙂

Review Body: Youmin takes care of you from start to finish. She places extra attention to make sure you enjoy a smooth experience by making sure she is clear with her instructions/directions & checking in on you before the date of the session. She is a wonderful facilitator who allows you to exercise full ownership from your experience (because the ultimate takeaway is unique to you & your very own interpretation). You will have to experience it yourself to understand the beauty of forest therapy. The recent Moonwalk gave us an unforgettable night nature bathing with the almost full moon. Will look forward to more one-of-a-kind experiences again 🌈🌳🌲

Review Body: Not gonna lie, we didn’t really know what to expect for forest bathing, but it’s basically a Japanese eco-therapy practice in the forest! You min is a great facilitator and invited us to open our senses, listen to Nature — the trees, the wind, feel the earth beneath us and just r e l a x. It was such a healing experience for me and I felt my worries and anxiety lift. I loved the mini sharing sessions after each section and drinking hot butterfly pea flower tea in wooden cups (like a picnic!) at the end really rounded up the whole experience beautifully. It’s great to do solo, or even as a team bonding activity!

Review Body: This was a relaxing and energising outing - thanks You Min for introducing the concept of forest bathing and being such an open and engaging guide! I wasn’t sure what to expect with a forest bathing outing as I had not encountered the concept before. However, I really enjoyed the session and it opened my eyes to a new way to engage with nature and my surroundings. You Min is an informed guide and passionate about nature. I would highly recommend this experience to those new to forest bathing and wanting to get closer to Singapore’s natural environment.

Review Body: I will recommend forest bathing for anyone who is looking to decompress from a hectic or stressful lifestyle. The session with Youmin has helped me to appreciate our natural surroundings and witness the significant impact it contributes to our physical well-being. It felt good to slow down and enjoy a respite from our overactive minds. The experience immediately refreshed my mood and made me feel better emotionally at the end of the session.

Review Body: It was my first forest bathing experience and I would say it is worth trying to immerse our busy soul in a slow and quiet place and get in touch with the nature which we discovered things which we would not capture/notice if we walk at our usual pace. I got to relax my mind.... Thanks You Min 🙂

Review Body: My first, but absolutely amazing forest bathing experience. Was able to finally just relish in the loving arms of nature, and openly share and listen to beautiful unique strong women. The session grounded me, made me feel relaxed, awakened, and inspired. Thank you You Min & Desiree for this

Review Body: Attend a session to learn how to slow down, observe with all our senses and connect with Mother Earth. The forest is the greatest healer, and Youmin is a terrific guide to open the door to grow back our roots with nature.

Review Body: The participants have feedback that the trainer is not engaging the participants enough and there isn't much energy/positivity felt during the session. There is too much of talking (half of the 1 hour) and many a times are repetitive information. There is only about a 25mins left for the actual exercise itself which is kind of short. Suggest SeekSophie to provide more experienced trainers as we do not mind the higher costs. Thank you.
