Suzanne is board certified in OB-Gyn and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in herbal medicine, Ayurveda, meditation, and nature and forest therapy.She is the award-winning author of The Outdoor Adventurer’s Guide to Forest Bathing and the founder of Trail Rx, a program that provides parks and trail systems with “nature prescriptions” to improve mental and physical health. Suzanne has served as Medical Director of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, lead physician for Chopra Whole Health, and currently practices at Honor Health Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, Arizona, while also teaching as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix.In our conversation, Suzanne shares her personal journey through grief and burnout, her path into integrative medicine, and the science behind forest bathing — from reducing stress hormones in minutes to improving long-term health.
