Welcome to Forest & Flourish!
Have you ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders? That constant hum of stress, the endless to-do list, and the feeling that you're always rushing but never quite catching up. If you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from your own sense of peace, you are not alone. I know that feeling intimately
About Me
My name is Marion, and I founded Forest & Flourish with a single, heartfelt mission: to guide those who feel stressed and overwhelmed to slow down, rediscover inner balance, and gain a clear vision for purposeful living.
For years, I navigated the pressures of a demanding career and the juggle of responsibilities until I discovered the profound power of connecting with nature and cultivating inner peace. These practices weren't just hobbies; they were my lifeline, transforming my own journey from overwhelm to a place of deep calm and genuine purpose.
My commitment to this transformation led me to formal training. I am a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and a RYT 200 Yoga Teacher.
This unique blend of expertise allows me to offer a holistic path tailored to your needs, weaving together the restorative power of nature with mindful movement and empowering guidance.
My Mission & Philosophy
At Forest & Flourish, I bring together the grounding serenity of Forest Bathing, the freeing insights of Clarity & Purpose Coaching, and the gentle strength of Mindful Movement & Yoga. This unique blend creates a sanctuary where you can truly unplug, reconnect with yourself, and remember who you are beyond the endless demands.
It's my deepest passion to offer you Your Path to Inner Calm and Purpose. Whether it's through a tranquil walk in the woods, a mindful movement session, or a coaching conversation that unlocks your next step, I'm here to support you in shedding the stress, gaining the clarity you crave, and cultivating a life that feels balanced, harmonious, and truly yours.
You deserve to breathe deeply, to feel grounded, and to live with intention. I invite you to explore how Forest & Flourish can help you rediscover your calm and unfold your purpose.
FOREST BATHING
Have you ever felt a sense of peace just by being in the woods? You're not imagining it—you're experiencing the natural, restorative power of the forest.
Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, is the practice of mindfully immersing yourself in nature to improve your well-being. It's not about hiking, getting a workout, or identifying plants. Instead, it's about purposefully slowing down and using all five of your senses to connect with the forest environment.
This gentle practice helps your nervous system shift from a state of stress to one of calm. Scientific research shows that time spent in nature can reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and even boost your immune system.
At Forest & Flourish, our guided Forest Bathing Journeys help you unlock these profound benefits. We create a sacred space for you to step away from the demands of daily life and simply be. By following gentle invitations, you'll feel the weight on your shoulders begin to lift, a deep sense of calm settle in, and a renewed feeling of connection to yourself and the world around you.
It's your chance to truly slow down, rediscover inner balance, and find the clarity that only nature can provide
COACHING
Do you feel like you're on a treadmill, moving at a frantic pace but not getting any closer to what you truly want? You have a full life, yet you're yearning for a deeper sense of clarity and purpose.
Coaching is a powerful, forward-looking partnership designed to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. It’s not about analyzing the past; it's about gaining fresh perspective, identifying what's holding you back, and creating a clear, actionable plan to move forward.
At Forest & Flourish, our coaching provides a supportive and empowering space for you to slow down the noise and reconnect with your inner wisdom. We guide you to uncover your core values, set intentional goals, and build practical strategies to integrate into your daily life. The result is a life that feels less reactive and more aligned with your authentic self.
This is your opportunity to shed the overwhelm, gain a clear vision, and cultivate a life of purpose and harmony.
Yoga & Mindful Movement
In a world that's always in motion, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your body and your breath. We often hold onto stress and tension without even realizing it.
Mindful Movement & Yoga is your opportunity to reconnect with yourself and find harmony within. Our practice isn't about complex poses or perfect alignment. Instead, it's about coming home to your body through gentle, intentional movement. We focus on listening to your body, linking breath with movement, and cultivating a deep sense of presence.
This practice is designed to help you release physical tension, quiet your racing mind, and rediscover a sense of balance. You'll learn to move with ease and grace, not just on the mat, but throughout your life. It is your time to slow down, restore your energy, and cultivate a sense of peace that you can carry with you long after the session ends.
