About me

Forest Light
Mirte Knieriem

My name is Mirte Knieriem and I am originally from the Netherlands. Throughout my career as a psychologist, I have worked in diverse mental health settings, supporting individuals facing various challenges, including addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma. These experiences have given me invaluable insights into the human psyche and mental health's profound impact on our overall quality of life.

Beyond my expertise in clinical psychology, I am also a certified yoga teacher. Yoga has been an integral part of my life, allowing me to find inner peace and spiritual exploration. Combining the wisdom of yogic principles with my background in psychology, I believe in the transformative power of uniting mind, body, and soul to create harmony and healing.

Nature has always been my sanctuary, providing solace and inspiration. As a certified forest bathing guide and forest therapy practitioner, I facilitate immersive experiences that invite individuals to reconnect with nature. Guiding mindful forest walks and therapeutic sessions, I aim to awaken a deep sense of connection with the natural world.

My approach to mental health is both intuitive and grounded in scientific knowledge. By blending evidence-based practices with the exploration of spirituality and alternative healing modalities, I strive to provide a comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental well-being.

 

I am currently located in Scandinavia, but I enjoy exploring different corners of the world.

Testimonials

"Mirte took us through just a small part of the forest, making us realize how you don't have to go far at all both to explore, and to connect back to yourself in a different way. It was beautiful how I, even though I spend quite some time quietly being in nature by myself, got to a new way of experiencing by shifting my senses. Mirte's calm and grounded energy sets a very safe, focused and nurturing atmosphere."

Forest bathing & Forest therapy

 

Forest Bathing is more than just a walk in the woods; it’s a mindful and meditative experience where you engage your senses to fully connect with the natural world. Forest Therapy has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, boost immunity, and enhance overall mental and emotional well-being. Through these gentle yet powerful practices, you’ll find solace in the embrace of the forest.

Forest bathing walks are ideal for both individuals and groups, making them a perfect choice for activities such as retreats, team-building experiences, or simply spending quality time with family and friends.
