Nature Bathing Forest Bath Soak, founder Hillary Peterson welcomes viewers into the private garden and “secret outdoor bathing area” at her Mill Valley, Calif., home. Up a flight of stone steps, tucked behind a wooden door surrounded by dense foliage, sits a claw-foot tub where Peterson has been known to kick back with a gin and tonic from time to time.
A bit further north, Canadian neuroscientist and eco-enthusiast Maria Ramey is also communing with the great outdoors. In fact, her skin-care brand, Understory Botanicals, is named for the vegetation growing beneath the main canopy of the forest. Jennifer Walsh, author of the “Walk Your Way Calm” interactive journal, couldn’t agree more. A faculty advisor to Massachusetts General Hospital’s Brain Health Initiative, Walsh has been leading Wellness Walks in Central Park, which help participants clear their heads, get some exercise and breathe in phytoncides . Think of those park jaunts as the New York equivalent of shinrin-yoku, or Japanese forest bathing.
