Michael Stein Ross, Founder and Guide for Cascadia Forest Therapy, has a long history working for the well-being of people and nature. Whether through scouting, maintaining trails in the Cascades, massage therapy, permaculture design, or education, his aim has always been to find the best way to serve people and the land. As a massage therapist Michael tended to the wellness of people. As a permaculture designer he tended the wellness of Earth. As a middle and high school teacher he continues to tend relationships and individual growth. Now, in guiding forest therapy walks, he has found a way to tend these domains — people, Earth, relationships — all at the same time.
