Loved the variety of techniques and therapies included.
(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.:)
The courses were informative and helped with my knowledge base.
Outstanding course
The lesson provides a wide range of useful knowledge for learners. Hopefully, through this program, after applying the knowledge in practice, I can become a professional sex therapist, bringing practical results to clients in need.
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!
Did not hold my attention.
I really enjoyed it.
PAGE WAS GLITCHING QUITE A BIT, BUT OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE
This course was very detailed and covered a lot for someone who wants to get into coaching. I'm so happy to have found this.
Highly academic course and client case studies. History of sex educations, psychologists, psychiatrists and pioneers studied.
I enjoyed getting to deepen my knowledge with this course. I have a background in Psychology and mental health. I have wanted to take the next step for some time now and this course was a easy transition to taking the first step. Very much enjoyed!
I found the Somatics Coaching course to be so profoundly informative in addressing my own personal patterns as a result of experiences. Such an eye-opening journey in this course. I am looking forward to implementing somatic techniques in my energy work.
Thank you so much!
Excellent and informative course. Content and quizzes help to enhance my understanding and appreciation for equine assisted therapy. I especially appreciated the integration of natural and holistic concepts. The case examples helped to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of this treatment modality. Thank you.
This was an amazing course with a wealth of information. Very beneficial to my studies and continued education.
