This animated mockingbird joins me most mornings when I start my day with coffee on the porch. With a repertoire of over 200 sounds, it’s a new performance every day.🌟

On 9/18 I’ll be launching a new indoor forest bathing experience at Cincinnati Art Museum as part of the art museum’s generous “ArtsUplift” wellness program.

The 90-min indoor immersive Forest Bathing experience is designed for those living with cancer to help quiet the mind and reduce stress.

The Cincinnati Art Museum is supporting the Tri-state cancer community with whole-person care, including yoga (with Julie Isphording), art classes, dancing, meditation and more.

A unique study, funded by , is being conducted in conjunction with ArtsUplift for those living with cancer, cancer survivors, and caregivers of someone living with cancer.

I’m honored to share my Forest Bathing experience and training from South Korea and Japan to Cincinnati and these deserving guests.

It will be the first of its kind in the Midwest.

Research shows indoor Forest Bathing is a highly effective, accessible alternative to outdoor Forest Bathing programs.

I’m passionate about making Forest Bathing accessible to all, and delighted to support our cancer community with this program.

If you’re interested in participating in this session/ArtsUplift study, please contact [email protected].

What a difference a change of view can make. 🌿

After spending a week in a hotel room looking out at rooftops and air-conditioning units while repairs were being made at home, I was reminded just how much I need nature in my everyday life.

This weekend, I had the chance to escape to Lakeside, Ohio, with friends—and immediately, something shifted.

Flowers. Trees. Water. Sky. Fresh air. Space to breathe.

I came home feeling more relaxed, hopeful and energized.

We often think of time in nature as something that’s simply nice to have. But it’s much more than that. Nature gives our minds a place to rest, our bodies a chance to slow down, and our spirits room to lift.

Sometimes we don’t realize how much nature is doing for us until it’s missing.🍃

I’ve been waking up to this view from the window of our hotel this week.

We’re are staying just a couple miles from home while water damage is being repaired.

I’m desperately missing my morning routine of starting my day on the porch with coffee, flower pots, birdsong and the sky above.

Nature really matters. I feel the void from my head to my toes.

I know I’m blessed by my patio “sit spot” I’ve designed, and never take it for granted.

Counting the hours until I can reconnect with my morning nature-inspired coffee time.🍃🌺🦋☀️☕️

A beautiful, relaxing “micro” Forest Bathing experience in Washington Park.
We held our faces to the sky to feel the light rain on our faces, put our hands on tree bark and plant leaves, and closed the experience with a gratitude tea.🍃🪶🦋🌺 Thank you dear friend and gifted energy healer for partnering with me on this special project!🥰
