“It is a practice full of health and mental benefits. As we consciously connect with nature, our sense of beauty, wonder and curiosity are restored; our mind and nervous system is calmed, stress is reduced and the immune system is strengthened.”
The Forest Baths or Shinrin Yoku is a relaxation technique, originated in Japan in the 80’s, which helps to totally disconnect from the routine and bustle of the city and everyday life, to reconnect with the nature from which we come, in a more conscious and profound way through the senses.
Through this connection, we manage to reactivate the link with ourselves in order to know ourselves better. Thus, knowing what you need to let go of in order to move forward, you will discover what really makes you happy.
Forest Baths is a group experience, up to 6 people, which lasts about 4 hours, in which a series of personalized and individual exercises are carried out, complemented by small spaces of time in which we share with the rest of the group.
It is an exercise that involves a moderate physical activity, since we run between 1 and 3 km. Despite this, it is an activity suitable for everyone, as it is done at a very slow and calm pace.

It was a sensory experience full of awareness, with many shared silences, a lot of care from Katia. For me it was useful to get in touch with nature from another perspective, more conscious and relevant, we are all nature, we are all part of nature and all the elements that are part of it are important and special, from the smallest to the largest, and also to let my intuition come out more and become aware of it. While I was doing it, many people came to my mind to whom I would like to give a forest bath, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to disconnect, get to know more... In fact, as Katia told us, in Japan doctors prescribe forest baths to their patients. Thank you, Katia, for this beautiful experience and made with so much care.
I want to thank you for your energy, your presence, your time and your effort in this experience that has been fundamental to reconnect, to find myself again and to be able to restart my path. You are a special woman, strong, full of light, a woman medicine that goes on the road and has the gift to touch and move the soul and heal it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope we can meet again and share the path.
The forest bathing experience with Katia was magical. She is very attentive, caring and knowledgeable about the practice of forest bathing. On top of that, Katia applies all her knowledge about sustainability and wellness to the experience. I would definitely repeat this unique activity again. I felt very light and de-stressed after the forest bath.
Sometimes it is difficult to appreciate what we have next to us, the landscapes that surround us. We always fix our gaze and desire to know more distant places. But in the end what is needed is to open your eyes, to feel your surroundings with all 5 senses. This is exactly what Katia and Musgo Baños de Bosque propose. We spent a spectacular day, full of sensations, in a place so close to home, the Sierra de Collserola. Katia guides you through uncrowded trails for an unforgettable experience. Her peace and tranquility infuse the group. Each activity has its purpose, nothing is random. You merge with nature. Highly, highly recommended. I can't wait to go back into the woods with Katia and discover new places in Catalunya.
To bathe in the forest to "cure ourselves of asphalt". Let ourselves be wrapped by the green mantle in the womb of the Earth to be reborn. Sharpen our senses with a botanical massage and become the animal we are: instinctive, curious, explorer, creative, unique. To flow without judgment. To contemplate without horizons or expectations, to accept the inexorable passage of time and to know that we are part of a whole in the here and now. To close our eyes and be at peace. Connect with colors, smells and textures without limiting walls. To see the beauty in the black stone, the lush moss, the acorn without a squirrel, the fallen fruit, the breath of the mountain, the dry leaf, the dead worm, the adult bark, the lost ant. To see the beauty in the other, which in reality is our own. To change perspective, to let go of control and let go and let go and let go, which is so hard. That is the medicine. That is the magic. To go to nature is to return to the true home: sacred pachamama, thank you.
A great experience lived with the Forest Bath. I loved the passion you transmit, the tone of your voice that accompanies us and the care in detail. This makes it an experience with all the senses.
Thank you so much for this experience! I am very happy to have known the Forest Bath with you. Your accompaniment is very professional and I can tell that it is your passion and that you have a deep knowledge. For me it has been a journey full of metaphors that has helped me to connect with myself and has given me some answers to questions that have been on my mind lately. I have loved that the exercises we have done I can repeat them independently. Although I would like to repeat the activity in another place, especially where there are water sources or river... I hope to see you soon.
The Forest Bath left me with a sense of calm and clarity. Now, when I walk through the forest alone, I relive some of the activities we did together and feel more connected to my senses and my interaction with the nature around me.
What I have liked the most is that they "force" me in a natural and organic way to be calm and quiet, because that's when you really listen to yourself and questions and answers appear. Right now I feel calm, at peace and fortunate for all that I have and also a little emotional.
It has been a super beneficial experience because it has helped me to reconnect with myself. I arrived a little stressed because I have a lot of work and it has helped me to forget about this mental list of things I have to do and disconnect from the city, the hustle and bustle and my thoughts. I leave in peace, calm and very quiet with myself.
Thank you very much Katia for making me discover what a Forest Bath is. It has been a great experience, I have enjoyed a lot. A different way to see and experience nature. I recommend it to all people who need to disconnect from the stress of the city and want to connect with themselves. I hope to repeat very soon.
Katia revealed to us little by little the things we had forgotten running in the marathon of our day to day life. And she did it in the most natural way possible, without imposing anything, without expecting anything, without any superiority - she simply guided our steps towards the basics: towards our senses, towards answers we might not even know we were looking for. A Sunday that ended up being one of the most important gifts I ever gave myself: the gift of finding myself again.
Totally recommendable experience, I did it with a close friend and it was really beautiful. You get integrated in nature and your sensibility, intuition and all your senses are sharpened, it was really beautiful! And Katia does it in a very respectful and professional way.
It is one of the best experiences I have ever had! Enjoying nature in a different way, discovering it, smelling it, touching it, feeling it, listening to it and at the same time, doing it with ourselves. Thank you Katia for showing us places lost in the forest and inside us.
The experience of the Forest Baths has been wonderful. A nice way to reconnect with yourself, and to be able to enjoy the here and now. In addition to the exercises offered by Katia, which help you to disconnect from the mental "noise". Being in nature is essential. I recommend it 100%.
For me the Forest Bath has been a beautiful experience, a moment of inner connection and connection with nature. I personally had a hard time feeling the energy of the earth and during this experience I got it. It is magical how Katia gets you to enter the forest as an outsider and end up being part of it. It is a 100% recommendable experience that I will definitely repeat.
Observing Katia has made me connect with my heart. My intuition tells me: Buddha's smile remains stable in the face of external changes. It teaches us not to let ourselves be influenced by the circumstances that happen on the outside. The master remains unbeatable by human ignorance. Thank you beautiful women!
Katia is an excellent guide of Bany de Bosc. We have done a bath as a couple and it has been a super reconnecting experience with nature. Everything was very well organized and the best were the details she prepared for us at the end with a very healthy tea and snacks. Everyone should try it!
