A Forest Therapy Guide is a trained professional who leads individuals or groups through immersive, sensory-based experiences in nature to promote well-being. They facilitate slow, mindful walks and suggest activities that encourage deep connection with the natural environment. Unlike hiking or nature education, forest therapy focuses on relaxation, stress reduction, and overall mental and physical health benefits. Guides create a safe and supportive space for participants, allowing them to engage with nature in a meaningful and restorative way.

Guides also regularly coordinate with parks staff, maintain equipment, and handle scheduling or participant communication.
