About Us



Our Approach


The Forest Therapy School is a boutique school that delivers comprehensive, high quality, student-focused training in a co-created learning space that allows for greater depth and personal growth.

When you study with us, you will learn how to offer forest therapy to your community, integrate it into your existing wellness practice, and gain clarity on your professional direction as we walk with you every step of the way. 

Forest therapy is a form of ecotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic benefits of being among the trees. Backed by 40 years of scientific research, it is a growing global wellness movement, similar to where yoga was thirty years ago.  

At The Forest Therapy School, we teach forest therapy as a mindful practice of being in nature for our own well-being and that of the planet’s, inviting connection to all of life. It is a waking up to our wholeness, to our belonging to the Earth, and to our place in a vast universe. 

Meet The Team

  • Regan Stacey

    OWNER & LEAD INSTRUCTOR

    Acknowledging both the entanglement and enchantment of our times, Regan embraces a celebratory ecology that invites us to slow down and awaken our senses to the sights, sounds, and smells of the world with wonder, curiosity, and joy.

  • Leah Manuel

    INSTRUCTOR & PROGRAM COORDINATOR

    Rooted in reverence for the natural world, Leah walks the path of guide, teacher, and lifelong learner. Her work is guided by a belief that nature is not a destination, but a remembering — of self, of community, of the living world.

  • Lara Laskowski

    INSTRUCTOR

    Lara's love for nature blossomed on her family's 75-acre farm in Croydon, New Hampshire. Inspired by her father, a farmer and woodsman, and nurtured by the gardens of her mother and grandmother, Lara found her true home in the forests and fields.
