What is Snail Walks?
Snail Walks offers guided forest therapy sessions designed to support your own pace of rest and reconnection with the living world around and within you.
Rooted in the principles of Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing), each experience invites you to slow the rhythm of your day and open your senses to nature's quiet wisdom.
Whether you choose a full immersion or a shorter mini session, you'll be gently guided through sensory invitations and mindful moments that restore balance, ease the mind, and create space to simply be - with no rushing, no goal, only presence.
What is Forest Therapy?
🌲Originating in Japan in the 1980s, Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Yoku, or "forest bathing") was created to counter stress and busy lifestyles.
🌲It's the practice of immersing oneself in nature through the senses - sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound - within a structured, research-based framework for healing and wellness.
🌲In both sessions, I offer invitations, each lasting about 15 or 20 minutes. You'll be guided to slow down, open your senses, and receive a gentle invitation to experience nature in your own way.
🌲This is not a hike. Forest Therapy is about slowing down, moving gently, or even sitting still. You may wonder slowly, rest on the earth, or simply notice the world around you. Like the name Snail Walks suggests, its about moving at the pace of presence - unhurried, mindful, and deeply connected.
Meet Your Forest Guide
Hi friend, I'm Taffany. I'm a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, Certified Reiki Master, Spiritual Life Coach and founder of Snail Walks.
The forest has always been my sanctuary - a place to breathe deeply, restore my energy, and listen to the quiet wisdom of the earth. I now guide others to experience that same grounding presence through forest walks and mindful practices. My intention is simple: to help you slow down, open your senses, and remember your natural connection to the world around you.
The forest is the therapist. I am simply the guide.
"The World Health Organization (WHO) calls stress the health epidemic of the twenty-first century. And finding ways to manage stress - not just for our own health but for the health of our communities, at home and in the workplace - is the most significant health challenge of the future." -Dr. Qing Li
