Ms Jan Cafearo
Course Creator
Feelgood Forest Bathing
Jan creates interactive online courses, guiding participants into connecting with the nature in their neighbourhood, through simple enjoyable activities.
She began working with city children in the 1980s, taking them into the woods to meet, and come to love, the natural world. Then after many years as a full-time mother, and holistic physical therapist, she heard about Shinrin Yoku – the Japanese art of connecting with nature through the senses – and instantly knew it was for her.
Today she combines her experience in healthcare, with her love and care for people, nature, and our beautiful planet, by creating practical online courses. When we connect with nature, we fall in love, and what we love we protect.
Her vision is that all people have the opportunity to develop a direct personal relationship with their local nature, and she welcomes collaboration with people in other fields of work.
When she is not working as a therapist or course creator, she is often to be found in her vegetable garden, walking, cooking world food, or making willow baskets.
