We Let Nature Speak for Itself

See what our community has to say about their Forest Therapy expereinces.

“Treebath has been an important addition to our afterschool and summer programs. It is certainly no mystery that children need more time outdoors and engaged in physical activity. Treebath engages them through connecting them with the nature which hides in plain sight here in Manhattan. Treebath’s program truly opens our student’s eyes and minds wider than they were before, and the children are always excited for the class.”

— Steve Levin, Director, After-School and Summer Programs Léman Manhattan Preparatory School

“Terrific program that my 6 year old daughter really looks forward to every week. It is so hard to find outdoor programs in the city and this one is terrific. She comes home smiley and legitimately dirty every week. Nicole and Oskar come at this so authentically and are really lovely to deal with as well.”

—Mom of Adele, Age 7

“Excellent way to lower my stress level.”

The walk was very relaxing! My work is very demanding and stressful, so forcing myself to relax and forget my work responsibilities even for a few hours was incredible. What an excellent way to lower my stress level

— E.M

“Fun!”

My class was fun because we got to find and touch shiny, glittery rocks! And we got to look for special leaves. They were green, brown, and red. I liked being with my friends from school playing outside!

— Ella, 5

“Treebath employs a research-based methodology that is very well-adapted to children, and particularly valuable and important for children living in an urban environment. The exposure and respect gained from time in nature is something that every child (and adult!) should enjoy with as much regularity as possible. Thanks to Nicole and Oskar, New Yorker’s finally have an opportunity to do so in a thoughtful and intentional manner”

— Daniel Koffler, Co-Founder/President, Explore + Discover Early Learning Center

“Come and try this experience! More people should be aware of this way of thinking about the world around us.”

— M.L., 46

“My experience was so emotional!”

I had no goals when I began my Forest Therapy walk, but my experience was so emotional. After the walk, I felt peace and a connection with nature.

“We saw worms!”

My class was on a rainy day. The ground was mushy and slimy, so we saw lots of worms and looked at them in our magnifying cups! I loved stomping in mud too!
