Nev Hoffman is a graduate of The Forest Therapy School’s Medomak, Maine 2023 cohort and leads guided sessions through her Maine-based company, Blue Fern Forest Bathing.

She is also the founder of 16 Hoops, a branding, website, photography, and storytelling studio rooted in helping small businesses and nonprofits communicate who they are with clarity and heart. With more than 25 years of experience in image-making and marketing, and a degree in Cinema & Photography from Ithaca College, Nev brings a visual, strategic, and deeply human approach to her work.

Her love of story, design, place, and the natural world has shaped both her creative work and her path as a certified forest therapy guide. Based in Kittery Point, Maine, Nev is drawn to the places where landscape, memory, and meaning meet, and she brings that same grounded attention to her work with The Forest Therapy School.

At FTS, Nev supports visual storytelling, website design, social media, and enrollment communications with a steady focus on helping the school’s work be seen, understood, and felt. She is also a lifelong learner, tea enthusiast, and devoted reader of Thich Nhat Hanh.
