Connecting With Nature
Shinrin Yoku/Forest Bathing

Nature-Led Leadership Coaching
In nature-led leadership coaching, we use the powerful metaphors found in the natural world to inspire and guide leaders in their personal and professional growth. Just as a tree grows stronger by weathering storms, leaders are encouraged to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Like the river that adapts to its environment, leaders learn to navigate change with flexibility and resilience. The changing seasons remind us of the importance of timing and patience in leadership, while the rootedness of mountains teaches the value of being grounded and focused.
These metaphors not only foster deeper self-awareness but also bring tangible benefits to leaders. They help to build emotional intelligence, cultivate resilience, and enhance decision-making skills. Leaders gain the ability to remain calm and centred under pressure, develop a greater sense of purpose, and improve their ability to adapt to change. Nature's lessons encourage leaders to take a more holistic approach, leading with authenticity, clarity, and confidence. Through this process, leaders also experience increased creativity and innovation, empowering them to inspire and guide their teams with greater impact.

Reviews
​
I recently had the pleasure of going forest bathing with Pina, and it was an unforgettable experience. Pina's deep understanding of nature and her calming presence made the outing truly special. She guided us through the forest with such care, encouraging us to connect with our surroundings and immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature.
Her enthusiasm for the healing power of the outdoors was infectious, and I felt a profound sense of peace and relaxation throughout the session. Pina created a welcoming atmosphere that allowed everyone to open up and fully engage with the experience. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to explore the benefits of forest bathing. It was rejuvenating and inspiring, thanks to Pina's wonderful guidance! Stany, Ibiza, Spain

Pina offered a warm welcome to the retreat in Morzine, along with a safe, nourishing space to pause, chat and rest. The forest bathing session was incredible. Her knowledge and genuine compassion for others created the most uplifting and wholesome experience.
Thank you Pina.
