About Your Host

Karen Richter
Entrepreneur & Forest Therapy Guide

My passion for nature has been a guiding force throughout my life, shaping my path from joyful explorations in hiking, camping, skiing, biking, and kayaking to leading adventures for my family and Girl Scout troop. Nature has always been my go-to place for things like relaxation, escape, stress relief, and renewal. Despite this lifelong connection, it wasn’t until a transformative SCUBA diving experience as an adult that I recognized a profound sense of belonging, filling a yearning I had often felt but had never been able to define.

However, the true power of nature in healing and personal growth became clear to me years later while dealing with my own personal struggles with stress, self-doubt, grief, exhaustion, and resulting health challenges. It was then that I discovered Forest Therapy, which played a crucial role in my recovery and helped me fully realize the impact a deeper relationship with the natural world could have on one’s health and well-being.

This realization steered me toward guiding others to explore their connections with nature. Leveraging my corporate experience, which was focused on maximizing professional potential, I continue to aim to empower women entrepreneurs and businesswomen, but using nature as our classroom and our teacher.
