FOREST BATHING Results

“You may imagine a walk in nature as hearing and seeing interesting facts about local flora and fauna. But you haven't yet taken a walk with Gregg. He includes the "deeper you" in his experiences. His gentle invitations prompt us to not only see nature from a different perspective but also just BE in nature and express ourselves from that place. With Gregg we become attuned together in nature. This is what is really special about walks with Gregg. We find ourselves tuning into the people we came with in delightful, unanticipated ways. Gregg's walks are ideal for families that are longing for simple ways to just be together without cell phone interruptions from young and old. Whether you're a group with members who know each other well or a group of people just getting to know each other, Gregg provides wonderfully connective experiences wrapped in Nature Herself.”

-Eric P.

The Coastside Jewish Community arranged for Gregg to lead us in a forest bathing experience as a Shabbat activity. We had ten people participate in what was a very grounding and centering time together. Gregg led us with skill and confidence, providing the structure for a meaningful group experience. We highly recommend doing something like this as it benefits everyone individually and collectively, and helps us be more in tune with our natural surroundings.

-Moshe Tom

“Forest therapy or 'shinrinyoku' is attracting huge interest all over the world, leading to many new offerings under this name. Forest therapy with Gregg is however the real deal. Bringing a lifetime of experience in outdoor activities, together with his intuitive, gentle and mindful nature, and fully qualified forest therapist credentials, Gregg has created a truly transformational experience. Whether you are a Bay area local or a visitor from far flung places, Gregg's guided process amid stunning natural environments is guaranteed to deepen your relationship with nature and yourself.”

-Elle S.

“My husband and I had an insightful journey with Gregg and others in the group. It was part meditation, part self-discovery, part connecting with others and nature on an emotional level type of experience. We left relaxed, yet recharged to go back to our stressful lives. Highly recommend this experience.”

-Eleonora V.

 “My son and I attended last Sunday one of Gregg's Shinrin Roku Forest Bath experiences. It was absolutely wonderful, meditating, sensing, sharing with each other in the most beautiful Redwood forest. Gregg was attentive, inspiring, creative and trust enducing. Given my personal experience I love to recommend you to share the experience with a loved one. It does not only brings you closer to nature but also to your child, partner, friend...”

-Susannah J.

“I have always turned to nature as a source of renewal and connection to myself and to the world. As I enter a time of much transition in my life, I knew that I needed to connect with nature in deeper, more intentional ways. When the opportunity to attend a forest therapy walk with Gregg Berman came up, I did not hesitate. What I experienced, in community with eight other beautiful souls, was a carefully tended and profound container for the depth of connection I was seeking. More, I learned specific practices that I can use at other times to draw wisdom and healing from natural places in new ways. I will definitely attend future walks.”

-Michaela D.

“I did a forest walk with Gregg. I was looking for connection to nature to help me find answers to difficult questions I had bubbled up inside me. My work life was really stressful at the time and I was feeling disconnected from my partner. I have this center of calmness and peace that I can tap into when things get hectic. It's an amazing skill to have, but it does get depleted from time to time. When I first got into the walk, I was anxious and easily distracted. The one exercise that really cracked at my anxiety was the trust walk. It was beautifully led and I felt held by my partner in the exercise. I felt safe enough to play, which was huge for me! I left from the walk feeling grounded and present to the sensations in my body. I felt like my center was restored.”

-Nikitee A.

Gregg is an exceptional, knowledgeable, grounded guide during the forest bathing. This is probably the 5th or 6th walk I've completed with Gregg, and it's a unique experience every time. Gregg is able to retain the details of the walk that allows each of us, as well as a collective, to feel deeply within our bodies, connecting with Earth, every single time. I was long overdue for some nature medicine, and I am glad I can rely on Gregg to help me reconnect back to home. Like any other healing practice, this is something I know I personally will need to stay consistent with if I want to maintain a sense of inner peace and to remain grounded, literally and figuratively. Again, I feel fortunate that I can look forward to Gregg's walks to remind myself of the beauty and healing benefits of nature.

-Anh T.

“For any creative soul who might spend a lot of time in front of a computer, sitting indoors, perhaps with a lot of mental chatter in the headspace or, feeling caught between competing demands, I recommend the restorative change of pace Gregg offers through his "forest bathing" walks. You may already love getting out into nature to recharge. Or, maybe you feel like you don't get outdoors enough. Either way, experiencing one of these guided group walks In Connection with Nature will be unlike whatever you might imagine -- and, that's a good thing. Through a series of creative "invitations" outdoors to awaken your senses, I never know what will "show up" in my internal experience. Whatever I end up noticing, effectively deepens my connection with myself first. I can relax, center and, more fully resource myself with the natural wisdom -- beyond linear thought and reason -- which is already available to me. The elements of subtlety, depth, playful curiosity and surprise which unfold through an organic, group experience isn't just a rich shared experience. For me, it anchors an important reminder of my own nature as part of nature -- simply being part of the boundless wonder, power and magnificence. Without efforting to be! With the freedom and permission to be with all that is, just as we are, the non-judgmental "container" created being In Connection with Nature offers a magical and healing opportunity to welcome everything we may feel, spanning wordless grief to ecstatic joy. And, through the lenses into the outer and inner worlds simultaneously, the opportunity here to come fully alive and be present to our deeper truths is a gift -- that, not only we get to give to ourselves in the forest but, that we get to maintain for ourselves even after leaving the forest.”

Life Coaching & EFT Tapping Results

“I have been incredibly blessed to be working with Gregg for the past 5 months.  This year I was faced with a very challenging health condition.  The sort of thing that to heal from it, they say you need to dig deep into ALL aspects of your life, find what is not truly working, and change it.  After the initial shock and then many months of addressing things on a physical level, I knew I still needed to address how events of my childhood were negatively impacting my health.  That is when I reached out to Gregg and began doing weekly sessions with him.

Gregg is by nature a highly intuitive healer.  He is a truly expert EFT practitioner.  And a wonderful, supportive, encouraging coach. In the beginning of working with Gregg I showed up at the start of so many of our sessions together in tears and overwhelmed and honestly lost, triggered unknowingly into my past and current traumas.  Gregg has such a calm and supportive demeanor, and a kind, warm and open heart, that you immediately know you are in a safe space.  I always feel deeply seen, heard, and understood by Gregg.  With his support and guidance, I have been able to go into the deepest parts of myself, parts that had been shut down and closed off since childhood.  With Gregg’s expert help, I have been able to understand myself much more deeply.  And working with Gregg I have shifted, healed, and released so many things in my psyche that were directly and indirectly impacting my physical health, as well as my mental and emotional health.

Before working with Gregg I basically went thru life being constantly triggered into past traumas, struggling without having much of a clue about what was really going on.  On the surface I led a happy enough life, but underneath I now know how very unhappy I really was.  After working with Gregg, it is now rare for me to trigger into a past trauma.  And when it does happen, I can now identify it in the moment and have tools to deal with it.  I now experience what I know is true happiness and I am a far more resilient person than I was before.  This deep work is having a very positive impact on my physical health.

Gregg has a way to tuning in and knowing exactly what to say and how to guide someone.  Countless times he has asked me just a simple question, but his question was the exact thing that allowed me to open up a part of myself that I had been ignoring or refusing to look at.  And because Gregg creates such a safe environment for self-exploration, as soon as I even contemplate his question the whole thing begins to shift and heal. This is the power of being in a safe space and deeply held and witnessed by someone who is such a talented healer as Gregg is.”

-Amy

“I attended one of Gregg’s workshops on EFT Tapping for managing Procrastination and Overwhelm in June 2020. I had used tapping before several years ago. Gregg was clear and informative. He offered to do two tapping sessions during the workshop and I did the first session. The statements he used for the Tapping sequence part of the session were spot-on and addressed the core issues I was dealing with. I definitely felt a positive shift from how I was before the session - I felt like there was more spaciousness inside me. I also did a separate private session about a week later and once again was impressed with Gregg’s talent for discovering the Heart of the Issue and addressing it with compassion to help move it along. I would highly recommend Gregg for EFT Tapping sessions and workshops. He was very easy to work with and I felt he was present and tuned-in to my concerns in a way that felt supportive and encouraging.”

- Frauzilla O.

“Gregg is a one of a kind gem. I started working with him for EFT tapping about a year and a half ago when struggling with severe anxiety. In the past 1.5 years with him, I feel I have made more progress than I made in over a decade of talk therapy!

I’m a 32 year old female and have always gravitated towards female therapeutic providers in the past, and was honestly initially hesitant to try working with a male provider, but decided to give it a try upon my aunt’s referral to Gregg’s EFT tapping sessions during an anxiety crisis (my aunt has loved working with Gregg as well). Gregg immediately made me feel so comfortable and safe in our sessions. I have worked with him on everything from shifting unhelpful thought patterns to processing a break up to acceptance around my anxiety, and worked particularly on a fear of flying.

In less than the last year, I went from nearly avoiding flying altogether to being able to take +4 hour flights. I still struggle with anxiety on flights, but it’s often half of what it used to be just under a year ago, and I have infinitely more tools to use when I get anxious. Gregg helped me shift my definition of success to include my imperfections, which allowed me to have so much more self-compassion when experiencing anxiety on flights (and in life). Gregg has truly been a godsend for me, and our work together has been life changing.

I leave almost every session with Gregg feeling energized, and like I had a mind-blowing revelation thanks to his incredible intuitive insights, wisdom, and guidance. He has such a skill at taking my complex thoughts and feelings that I have a hard time verbalizing and eloquently putting them into words. On top of that, Gregg has a great sense of humor and I actually have fun in our sessions, something that I think people rarely feel about therapeutic work, lol!

To be honest, I didn’t even realize the extent to which a practitioner can be so effective and healing in your life until meeting Gregg - he raised the bar to a whole new plane of existence. If you are struggling with mental health, difficult life circumstances, stress, looking to do more internal exploration etc etc, I couldn’t recommend someone more! He is an amazing coach and all around human.”

I recently experienced a great loss with the end of a relationship. As I went through the process of grief, I noticed that I was beginning to experience a myriad of emotional triggers. Anything from seeing a certain car brand to looking at the full moon would set forth a wave of sad emotions that surfaced from within me. While I was making great progress with coming to terms with the end of the relationship...the triggers meanwhile were gaining momentum and overcoming me. Just after one guided EFT coaching session Gregg released and removed several triggers. The days after my first session I felt like an energy had been lifted from my subconscious mind and that healing had taken place at a deep level. I strongly recommend utilizing EFT as a practice for taking your healing and mental self-care to the next level, a level that does not cover up your emotions but allows them to be heard, acknowledged and repaired.

- M.

What a pleasure it has been to have Gregg guide me through an extremely fearful and anxiety producing situation. I appreciate his intuition, skill-set, kindness, humor and his pace. He used multiple methods to help bring my fear from a 10+ down to a 2!!! I was able to move forward and take the step I was so afraid to take. I highly recommend Gregg to walk beside you, while also providing guidance on any part of your life journey. I know I will be working with him again.

- Sandy

Gregg was very supportive and caring to my family during an extremely challenging time with complex family drama. He helped to successfully bring balance to each family member he worked with individually and as a group. I am grateful to Gregg. He is truly gifted.

- Amy B.

“Gregg is an extraordinarily skilled EFT/tapping practitioner. Soft spoken and gentle with a warm heart and sense of humor, he quickly brings you to a place of trust and openness to look deeper into your own being. Gregg has such a natural grace as a practitioner, like a world-class ice skater gliding effortlessly across the ice, he makes it seem so easy I thought I could do just as well on my own...until he was away for several weeks. I then found it nearly impossible to fully focus on the issue I was tapping while at the same time move forward into deeper interconnected issues. Without hesitation, if you are someone seeking to address and heal your deeper issues, I would highly recommend Gregg.”

-Christina C.

“My sessions of EFT have been wonderful with Gregg. I went in on my first session a bit skeptical but with an open mind. I had some knowledge of the process from what I have read on the internet and knew the process involves "tapping". I didn't know what to expect nor did I have a major primary goal. The only thing I knew is that I wanted some changes in my life. Gregg has a great ear and is able to ask just the right questions that help you to learn about yourself as well as guide you as to what your looking for within yourself. He makes the experience very comfortable where I felt at ease and safe to open myself up to be honest with him and myself. Since my first session I have had 3-4 more and with each session, I feel so much better, more lifted and freer. I absolutely recommend EFT with Gregg.”

-Suzanne M.

“I have experienced both a forest walk and EFT (tapping) session with Gregg. I could not recommend both therapeutic modalities more wholeheartedly or enthusiastically! In SF, city dwellers have an opportunity to escape into lush forest, after a mere 10-20 minutes of travel time. As we walked through the forest, Gregg challenged us to be truly present in the moment. We frequently stopped to observe our surroundings, engage in introspective silence, and simply connect. After only 3 hours I felt more joy, love, peace -and a heightened sense of awareness of myself and my environment- then I have in the past 5 years. My tapping sessions have been just as transformative. Guided by Gregg, I was able to gain a deeper awareness of my own emotional blocks, defense mechanisms, and strengths. Gregg is both incredibly perceptive and intuitive, and he employs both to great benefit throughout a session. I was initially skeptical to try a tapping session to treat a throbbing migraine, but under one hour later, I was both pain free, and a believer. I also tapped with Gregg before a high pressure licensure exam. Although I cannot attribute my success wholly to our pre-exam tapping session, I am certain that it helped me to maintain equanimity in the face of incredible stress. There is a saying that 'some things scratch the surface while others strike at your soul'; Gregg truly touches one's soul.”

"I was dubious when I first learned of EFT. What was it? How could it help me to heal? I came to Gregg with an abyss of suffering and in spite of initial hesitancy, my experience with Gregg has been very helpful! Gregg uses EFT to help clients engage with and release emotion, pain, stress and fear with sensitivity to context. After our sessions, I felt incredibly exhausted and yet I felt that I had more voice and wisdom than just prior. I would say that it is his courage, empathy and depth of insight that make him an amazing healer. His diverse approaches help give meaning to very difficult experiences. Also, healing takes courage but if courage is contagious, then Gregg is amazing to be around. #MeToo.”

-Anonymous in the Bay Area

“Gregg connected compassionately with the concerns I presented. My EFT sessions with him helped move me to several profound personal insights. His warm and caring manner made it easy for me to open up. His ability to guide the sessions and incorporate reflective exercises for exploring emotions such as grief and self-sabotage was amazing. He gave me some super helpful tools and techniques to help me continue my healing work on my own in the days and weeks following. I would highly recommend Gregg as an EFT practitioner. He is a powerful guide for personal growth.”

-Susan A.

I find the EFT work shines a light on thought and behavioral patterns as well emotions I can feel in my physical body, and with Gregg's guidance, has provided the tools for me to move forward in the direction and desired outcomes I seek. I find that it is beneficial to work with someone who is able to hear you and reflect you, back to you, in a way that allows you to see yourself more clearly in order to move forward and grow. In my experience, Gregg is skilled at creating a safe space to be vulnerable allowing you to express parts of yourself you may not show or verbalize to the world or even acknowledge to yourself. He maintains a compassionate neutrality and judgement-free dialogue which has made me feel heard, while constructively utilizing my sharing to incorporate it into EFT (emotional freedom technique) or tapping. I have worked with Gregg on a range of things from tackling the adrenaline storm I would have from needles, injections and IVs to processing the experiences of loss and death of loved ones. Does it work? Yes, I experience the difference it has made daily. Since working with Gregg, I have read a book on EFT as well as watched videos. But, I find that partnering with a skilled practitioner provides the opportunity to get out of my head and analytical side, and into the non-rational, emotional aspects of myself. I like to think of partnering with Gregg, as a professional who calls on a coach or specialist. Much gratitude!

-Kelly Vail

“I have very bad insomnia and my life has been stressful lately. I was feeling distance from my husband. Gregg has been a great help for me. I did a few EFT sessions with Gregg and I can feel the calmness, peace and acceptance after each session. Gregg is So Gifted, he has this amazing way to help me feel so much better, and able to connect gwith myself.”
