Meet your Guide

Hello, I’m Carnation!

I’m a Certified Forest Bathing Guide and Certified Sound Bath Guide, and the founder of Rooted Remedies Collective. I completed the Sound Healing Practitioner Diploma by Nicole Shields and the Sylvotherapist course through Alma Oasis.

But more than credentials, this work is personal.

I’ve always felt more at home in the forest than in the world humans have built around it. I talk to trees. I sing softly when I hike. I pause to notice the way sunlight moves through leaves.

Nature has never just been scenery to me. It’s been a conversation, a sanctuary, and a sacred relationship. Sound, too, has always felt meaningful to me. I believe it can invite us to slow down, listen, and return to the present moment.

How I Guide

I don’t show up with an exact script. I show up with presence.

I guide by listening to the land, to sound, and to God. I invite stillness, welcome silence, and create space for you to slow down, notice, and reconnect.

Forest Bathing and Sound Baths aren’t about performance. They’re about presence.

Who I Am Beyond the Work

I’m a wife, dog mama to three, and someone who finds joy in long drives, good music, and slow hikes.

I care deeply about environmental stewardship, not only as an Earth lover but as a Christian. I believe caring for God’s creation is a sacred responsibility, rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and love.

You’re Invited

You don’t have to be perfect to be present.
You don’t have to be fearless to say yes.
You don’t have to become anything at all.

You’re invited just as you are.

Let’s return to our roots, together.

Peace and love always,
Carnation
