Rooting In Nature LLC 🌲Certified Forest Therapy Guide - Mindful and restorative outdoor experiences to (re)connect deeper with yourself & nature.

Brittany Carr is a certified Forest Therapy Guide with a deep love for the outdoors and a passion for sharing the healing power of nature and mindfulness. Whether she’s hiking NH’s challenging mountains, exploring new places, camping, paddleboarding on a quiet lake or river, or simply sitting in stillness among the trees, Brittany believes that nature has the ability to heal and transform us—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Brittany’s journey into forest therapy was inspired by her own personal experiences in nature. For years, she turned to the outdoors to find peace, strength, and clarity. Immersing herself in the natural world, she discovered how deeply transformative it can be. Driven by these beautiful experiences, Brittany pursued her certification as a Forest Therapy Guide through The Forest Therapy School to help others heal and connect deeper with themselves and nature. In addition to guiding, Brittany is an artist creating nature-inspired wood pieces and photography. A Montserrat College of Art graduate, she blends her creative talents with her love for the outdoors. Outside of work, Brittany enjoys yoga, cooking, writing, singing, dancing, and spending time with her two cats, Loki and Mia. Her mission is to help, inspire, and foster personal growth and community connection through outdoor experiences, creativity, and mindfulness.

Beautiful Australian zebra finches! Did you know that they are generally monogamous and form life-long bonds and mate for life? Pairs often sit together, groom each other, and communicate with soft calls. They are so precious 😍

🦋Signs of transformation: It was magical to be around and photograph so many beautiful butterflies 😍 A reminder of metamorphosis, rebirth, hope, and freedom, themes that are very prominent in my life at the moment.

🎨🪷My expression and creativity have always stemmed from connection and emotion. It’s always been a therapeutic form for me, one that I have lost touch with these last few years.

For a long time, I pushed down or diminished how I felt, losing touch with the sensations inside my body that ultimately manifested into chronic pain, illness, anxiety, restlessness, fatigue, and more.

My nervous system didn’t know how to safely release, or that it was allowed to, so that energy tucked itself away in my body and mind until it had nowhere else to go.

No amount of self-awareness mattered.

Self-awareness is only one step of the journey. But you can’t think your way out of felt experiences.

When emotions aren’t met or held, especially over time, the nervous system adapts by suppressing them. And when others lack the emotional capacity to hold that space, you’re left alone with the weight of it, with no place to put what you’re feeling. Eventually, those unmourned and unexpressed parts begin to turn into self-criticism and fear.

The feelings don’t vanish, they collapse inward.

Without realizing it, I began training my nervous system to doubt itself. It’s not that bad. I’m overreacting. Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m seeing this wrong. Just focus on the good. Be grateful. Over time, I stopped trusting the signals in my body — my intuition, my gut, the quiet knowing disguised under the noise.

These parts didn’t need fixing, they needed acceptance.

🌕🦁2/1 - This Full Moon in Leo felt heavy, creating feelings of tenderness and rawness. In the safety of nature we were invited to lean into release, to feel where we have been dimming our light, holding back, softening, or seeking permission to fit in, and to notice what truly wants to be expressed. The fresh snow became our blank canvas where we carved our own paths with footprints and imprints, writing down what we have been hiding and what lifts us toward the light. In ceremony we released these old weights, letting the papers burn as we sipped tea and reflected.
It is no surprise that January felt heavy, both internally and externally, given the way the world has been. This Moon asks us to be gentle with ourselves. It holds the energy of shift as the final shedding of the old before the Fire Horse year begins. It is an uncomfortable space between what is no longer working and the unknown of what comes next, yet it also brings a quiet readiness for change.
This Moon invites us to step into our authenticity, to honor our hearts, our creativity, and our joy, and to allow ourselves to be fully seen. May we move forward lighter, braver, and more fully ourselves.

🌕The February Snow Moon invites us into deep winter stillness—a time to rest, reflect, and tend to our inner landscape. Known as a moon of endurance and quiet strength, the Snow Moon reminds us that rest is not stagnation, but preparation. In the hush of winter, we are called to slow down, release what no longer serves us, and gently plant intentions for the renewal ahead.

During our gentle moonlit winter walk, we’ll explore:
🌕 Where your body and spirit are asking for rest and patience
🌕 What emotional or energetic layers are ready to be cleared
🌕 Inner strengths that have supported you through this season
🌕 Intentions and “seeds” you wish to plant for the coming months
🌕 The grounding support of community and quiet reflection

We’ll close with a calming guided meditation, a simple intention-setting ritual inspired by the Snow Moon, and warm herbal tea—creating space to soften, cleanse, and welcome the quiet transformation unfolding within.

Back in November, I had the joy of collaborating with the White Mountain Hotel & Resort in North Conway, NH to lead two forest bathing experiences during their Girlfriends Weekend 🌲✨

They generously put me up for the night, welcoming me into a space I’d admired for years from nearby summits. After settling into my room, I headed out for a sunset hike before returning to a cozy lobby, warm lights, and mountain views.

Dinner was a true treat. I was told to order anything I wanted from the menu, and enjoyed a relaxed, nourishing meal overlooking the mountains, followed by time under the stars, the outdoor heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, and sauna.

It was the perfect way to rest and reset before guiding forest bathing the next morning.

Part 2 shares that experience 🤍

🎄Christmas came early this year when I received a package of Swell Lab’s new body wash collection! These body bars are built on the same principles as the shampoo bars, but in addition to the gentle coconut cleansers, there’s added ingredients like kaolin clay and ultra-fine pumice to lift away sweat and daily buildup without disrupting your skin’s natural barrier.

🫧These body wash bars come in all the same scents as the shampoo bars, which I love so much! There is even a mini variety pack so you can try each scent before committing to a full one. These were the perfect size to gift to my family and friends so they can start making a sustainable and healthy switch, too!

♻️The packaging is eco-friendly and doubles as a cat toy, which I quickly found out. (My cats really liked these!) The bees wax coating on these works the same way as the shampoo bars, with a built in sharpener on the spruce-wood cap, making them just as travel friendly for those looking to cut out those typical plastic travel bottles.

✨Make your New Year’s resolution one that helps the planet and switch to Stem.
