Georgia Bromehead

While teaching English in Japan, Georgia admired the nature-connection culture at the kindergarten. Nature was part of every day there, windows open, shoes off, animals being brought in to be studied. One could look out the big open windows and only see the bottoms of giant cedar trees, close and above on the hillside. Inspired, she researched forest-based preschools and stumbled upon the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy website. A new way to connect with nature for adults? She was very intrigued.

Moving back to the States, Georgia began herbal supplement guidance at a local pharmacy. She heard patients’ stories about anxiety, depression, and fatigue again and again. “This is just not me,” they’d say. It was clear that reconnecting with the healing power of nature, with the self, with time, and with others would serve not only individuals but the community as a whole. Georgia became a certified Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and is passionate about helping Nashvillians connect with nature and themselves in a new way.

In addition to guiding, Georgia is also a Psychotherapist with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
