NATURE BASED WELLNESS
Sharing the powerful benefits of nature through outdoor workshops, away days, local walks, webinars and key note speaking.
Tansy Dowman is an internationally accredited Life Coach, certified Nature Connection Guide and TEDx Speaker (watch my TEDx Talk here) offering inspiring outdoor wellness and team-building experiences that get your team out of the office and into the great outdoors to experience the myriad of benefits for physical and mental health.
There is a vast body of evidence-based research on the health and well-being benefits of spending time in Nature.
Walking mindfully (which simply put, means paying attention to your surroundings) has been proven to lower blood pressure, heart rate and the stress hormone cortisol and that’s just for starters.
The well-being industry has become flooded with fitness and well-being trends, yet all the while the most simple and natural way to keep well is available to us all and does not require any complicated techniques to achieve results.

8 years ago, I was working in London as a Senior Events Manager. A career that spanned 12 years and demanded long hours and stressful deadlines. I have firsthand experience of crash and burn and work-related illness. I wish back then that well-being in the workplace had been a priority and understand how vital it is for office-based employees today to receive that support. Today, work-related mental and physical illness continues to rise and this directly impacts the success of a business. Many employees may try to hide stress-related illness in fear of being seen as unable to cope or not up to the job. They may do their best to manage this illness on their own until it becomes too late and they are forced to take time off work. By being proactive about well-being in your business you create a safe, supportive and educational environment for your team to thrive in.

If you are seeking something a little different from standard well-being experiences such as yoga and meditation, then Forest Bathing workshops can be insightful, educational and relaxing and are also gender-neutral. Most people understand on an intuitive level that Nature is good for their health. I am able to share all the reasons why and can physically get teams out of their office to put the teachings into practice. I understand that people like to know the facts and I also successfully de-bunk the belief that Nature connection is weird or alternative by bringing in neuroscience and biology. Along with my skills and training in Nature connection, I am an internationally accredited life coach so I have had a vast amount of experience coaching individuals and groups for personal development and well-being.

I offer off-site Forest Bathing Workshops in Kent, Surrey, Sussex or London that are usually 2-3 hours long and include refreshments.
I also offer Workplace presentations with the option to guide a walk close to your office if that is possible.
Full-day wellness and team-building experiences are also possible to arrange.
