Dear Alma, thank you this knowledge is very useful. The teaching material is easy to use and logically put together. And special thanks for helping me to continue learning after 2 years of break. (just a little comment: Alma means Apple in our language :) in case you didn't knew it yet) With much love, Judit

Super interesting training

Wonderful and Knowledgeable experience

I love that I can learn and take notes at my own pace. I can also listen or read through all of the modules.

Great Course!!

Love it

A well of knowledge

I already knew a lot about aromatherapy and the benefits of a lot of indoor plants. But expanding that knowledge to include forests and trees which I already feel a deep connection with is even better. This course taught me so much more and now I'll be able to utilize it and help my friends, family and clients as well. I am very excited to have this added to my herbalist, yogi belt.

Pros and Cons of the Sylvotherapy course

(Pros): Overall, I really enjoyed the course. I appreciate the scope, (quality and quantity), of scientific information that it provides, the thoughtful discussions around the spiritual nature of sylvotherapy as well as scientific, the FAQ's and sensitivity given to the recommended responses to them at the end of module 10, and the quick response time to the questions that I submitted. For these reasons, with some provisos, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has some understanding and experience of forests/plants, or human physiology, (and related or complimentary areas) and wants to deepen their understanding of Forest Therapy and how to use it. Provisos (Cons): The course uses a vast number of scientific terms when discussing medicinal and therapeutic properties of plants and trees, and their effects on the human body. It would be helpful to have some medical backround or a background in biology to understand these, but given that perhaps many people taking the course will not have this background, perhaps an appendicies at the beginning of the course with a definition of these terms, or at the end of each module, could be provided. This would be very helpul! In addition, in my opinion, the course is not consistantly well written and some information is either mislabelled, or left me questioning whether it is correct. I found this cause for confusion. See exaamples below: Example 1: terms that are initially defined as distinct things, later being used interchangeably, like Forest Bathing vs Forest Therapy (Sylvotherapy). Energy and phytoncides at times being used interchangably in some places and as distinct in other places. Example 2: Incorrect labeling on graphs/charts, as on p. 15 module 6, where Fig. 2 identifies results for " Granzyme A" twice, but as two different values. I'm assuming the second value should be labelled " Granzyme B"? Example 3: Confusing, possibly incorrect information: on page 11, module 6, under "The Lilac, Poplar and Hawthorn Tree" it says "The volatile phytoncides in lilac, poplar and hawthorn reduce the diameter of blood vessels, thereby increasing blood pressure and stimulating the cardiovascular system. " Is this correct? When I researched this I consistantly found that the opposite is true. National Institues of Health, Mar. 5, 2026 for example, states that rather than constricting blood vessel diameter, scientific evidence suggests these compounds often act as vasodialators (widening the blood vessels) and lowering blood pressure and improving circulation. Example 4-the exam: When there can be only one best answer, the wording of each option must be very concise so that there is no confusion about what each option means. For instance, for the final exam where the question asks the reason behind shinrin yoku, I was looking for an answer that indicated that it was to attract the Japanese into the forest to rediscover the benefits of nature, the beauty of their natural environment, and of their forests. The answer that is said to be the correct one says "to attract Japanese into the forest to rediscover the riches of their country." Riches can be enconomic, domestic, cultural, etc. but my understanding is that it was specifially the natural environment and the forests, that shinrin yoku was wanting to attrack them back to. The wording that is used in the supposedly "best answer," is arguable, given the other options. Having said all this, I still hold that the course has a lot to offer.:)

Great Course. Very Interesting.

Highly recommended

I found the Sylvotherapy course well designed. I really enjoyed the quality of research in the information provided, as well as the bibliography provided at the end for further independent learning. I have signed up for three other courses and am diving right in!

Sylvotherapy

What a fantastic course! Even though I innately knew the effects of being in a forest, this course has taught me to what extent Sylvotherapy is important in people's lives at this moment. I've been in a Sylvotherapy session but am looking forward to being the one running it. My friends are also very curious and looking forward to it. This course was comprehensive with studies, exercises and practical applications and I feel confident in being able to apply them in my own sessions.
