I cannot speak highly enough of this training. It’s rare that an online training captures the hands-on learning aspect that synchronous workshops offer, but the lessons encouraged participation in the strategies taught. I chose this program because it was both affordable and flexible with regards to schedule. I’m so glad I chose the treeming forest bathing facilitator certification.

I was extremely impressed with the Forest Therapy Guide Certification course. It genuinely over-delivered, with a wealth of high-quality PDFs, videos and learning materials. The videos were clear, professional and easy to follow, and the content was both interesting and practical.
I particularly appreciated the way the course allowed us to apply what we were learning as we progressed, rather than simply absorbing theory. This made the learning experience much more engaging and helped build confidence along the way.
I was also very impressed by the practical guidance on getting started as a Forest Therapy Guide, including valuable information on pricing, marketing and setting up the business side of the work.
Overall, this was a very well-rounded, thoughtfully structured and excellent-value certification course. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to train as a Forest Therapy Guide.

An Amazing Learning Opportunity
This was an amazing course and I learned a great deal from Jörg's instructional videos. His lessons were easy to follow and they included simple exercises that allows the student to easily practice essential concepts. The knowledge I gained will not only allow me to be an effective Forest Bathing Guide but I grew so much as an individual. Thank you Jörg for making such an enormous difference in this world!

I absolutely loved this course! I genuinely enjoyed every lesson and was so impressed by how much valuable information was included. Jorg has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and thoroughly while making the material easy to follow and understand. There were so many more topics covered than I initially expected, and I found myself continually learning something new. I’m truly grateful for the time, thought, and knowledge that went into creating this course. It was an incredibly valuable and enjoyable experience. I have Included a picture of where I went to do some of my personal training. I’m looking forward to helping others discover the beauty and healing that the forest can provide.

I entered the course as someone who already has great experience with Forest Bathing. I took the course to refine my understanding and practice. I learned some precise science behind the forest's ability to help us heal, and I received very constructive feedback that was key to my takeaway. The people behind this are real, thoughtful, and present. The coursework is detailed, extremely manageable, novice-friendly, and humble. I recommend it.

Thank you for the additional creative ideas and science based information weaved into the course that help support why we need to gather outdoors more and the healing benefits of nature.

I will forever be grateful for the…
I will forever be grateful for the teachings that are shared by Treeming in Becoming a Forest Bathing Guide. The lessons are broke down into manageable sessions which allow the student to experience the stillness that nature offers as guidance for reflection and healing. The stillness and silence in honoring the knowledge that those moments share for personal growth. By experiencing each of the exercises (there are over 40+ different sessions) offers a variety of moments to share with friends and family to practice the 1st session, then offer sessions in your area. I highly recommend Treeming.org for anyone who want to deepen their connection with nature and share that love with others!! The benefits of nature is so important especially at this time, hope to see you in forest :-) <3

Where our graduates are.
This map cannot show everyone. A graduate appears here only if their record carries a town, and nobody is added against their wishes — a short note to [email protected] is enough to be put on it or taken off it. Nothing but the town and a head count is shown: no names, no addresses. Even so, it gives a good sense of how far this community reaches.
Number of graduates
1,959 graduates in 1,548 towns and 74 countries. Markers add together as you zoom out and split apart as you zoom in. Use the crosshair to find yourself on it — your position stays in your browser and is never sent to us.
