REFLECTIONS FROM THE FOREST
Listening to the voices and experiences of those we have guided.

"I recently participated in an evening forest therapy walk at Buds in Bloom. This was my first experience on a forest therapy walk. Michelle was a great guide, and my experience was so healing and transformative. I highly recommend experiencing a forest therapy walk with Buds in Bloom. No question that I will be returning."

"It was a beautiful Saturday morning for our family. We picked lavenders while sipping refreshing lavender lemonade. The nature walk that followed, ending with a peaceful tea ceremony, was absolutely lovely. Everything was beautifully organized, and the materials provided were thoughtful and well-prepared. You can really feel a deep connection with nature while walking through the forest, listening to the gentle song of the creek. Time truly flies — I only wish it could have lasted longer! I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to slow down and reconnect with nature."

I had such an amazing experience with Michelle. It was so calming and grounding. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that much in touch with nature. I left more relaxed and peaceful than I had in a long time.
“Being part of a Buds in Bloom session is a true blessing. From the moment you step into the spaces Michelle curates, you feel welcome, seen, and at ease. With reverence for the land and those who came before us, she gently invites the presence of both the natural and the unseen.
Every detail carries intention, even when the setting shifts at the last moment. Soft quilts spread across the ground; a lace centerpiece transformed into an altar; rocks, floral sachets, and smudge sticks gathered with care from her home; a steaming mug of chamomile tea—first poured for the earth—and the quiet song of the kalimba. Each element weaves into a tapestry of belonging and calm.
The space Michelle holds, together and in solitude, is a journey for the senses. A slowing down. An opening for reflection, connection, and embodied presence. Through guided imagery, thoughtful prompts, and her deep, attentive listening, Michelle helps you return to yourself and tend to whatever is stirring within.
In a world where speed and productivity often reign, Michelle reminds us that we are enough at any pace we choose. She shows us, again and again, that we are our own best medicine."
