JOAN VORDERBRUGGEN came to forest bathing circuitously as an architect specializing in design for healthy environments, and through personal healing and inspirational experiences found in nature. After training through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Joan received her certification as a forest therapy guide. She created Bircheart Shinrin-yoku (bircheart.com) in Minnesota’s central lakes area where she lives, introducing others to the often profound therapeutic effects that mindful time in nature can provide. Joan gets outside every day, no matter the weather, and hopes that Wild Calm will provide encouragement to find deepened connections with the natural world.
