Monique Kueker, Albuquerque
I’m a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the land is spacious, soulful, and always enchanting.
I guide gentle, sensory-based walks that help people slow down and reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the more-than-human world.
This practice has helped me find wonder and clarity in my own life. I’m honored to share it with those who feel the call to walk a little more slowly, breathe a little more deeply, and listen to what the earth might be whispering.

Sally Wren, Albuquerque
Sally Wren trained through ANFT in 2018 and founded The Wonder Path soon afterward. She irregularly guides walks because her full-time nature gig is running SOL Forest School, which is a 100% outdoor program for children ages birth to 12 and their families, primarily based in the mountains east of Albuquerque, NM. When she does guide, it's often parents or fellow educators that she has the pleasure of wandering the woods with. Sally Wren studies Druidry and is also interested in becoming a Celebrant. In her free time, she tends to multiple green babies, enjoys cooking, tea, Tarot and travel, and spends lots of time outdoors with her dog, Pepper.
Moy Bergquist, Santa Fe
Much like an accidental tumbleweed, I wandered for most of my life professionally and geographically. From the Army to lawyering to teaching at a community college, from the Northeast to the Deep South and the big sky West, my nomadic adventures set me on a fun but bumbling path that eventually had me seeking settled ground. My desire for rootedness brought me to the Land of Enchantment. Little did I know that deep personal transformation awaited me! The metamorphosis I experienced here led me to forest bathing, other energy-based practices, and a desire to share with others the grounding expansiveness these practices offer.
As a double-certified ANFT and Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership guide, I weave two distinct but complementary approaches to forest bathing into my walks to open the portal to the groundedness, connection, and wonder that are at the heart of every forest bathing walk. Currently, I guide in partnership with the Randall Davey Audubon Center in Santa Fe. As a Reiki Master and sound healing practitioner, I at times incorporate energy work or the resonant tones of Himalayan singing bowls to deepen the restorative, spirit-led nature of each walk. Each walk is an invitation to slow down, awaken your senses, and enter into sacred relationship with nature and the self. Come wander with me and see what you might discover in yourself and the more-than-human world!
Pamela Fuhrmann, Santa Fe
Join Pamela, a certified forest bathing guide (ANFT), for gentle, meditative walks in nature designed to slow us down, awaken our senses, and nurture a deeper connection with the living world—and with ourselves. Through a series of simple, restorative invitations, she invites presence and a way of being with nature rooted in openness and care.
Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Pamela's practice is shaped by both her years of experience designing and facilitating workshops and coaching engagements, and her relationship with place—where the rhythms of the land, the presence of the more-than-human world, and the act of tending have become part of an ongoing inquiry into how we live, relate, and belong.
Pamela holds a PhD in Depth Psychology and Mythology, an MEd in education, along with various certifications from ecopsychology to labyrinth facilitation and coaching.

Roxanne Darling, Santa Fe
Roxanne is an ANFT-certified Forest and Nature Therapy Guide as well as a nature-centered artist, yoga teacher, and former health coach for Johnson & Johnson. Her forest bathing practice focuses on decompressing from the stresses of daily life, by blending activities that immerse you in the quietude of the land and sky while engaging in light-hearted explorations. As an abstract biophilic artist, she combines her knowledge of neuroaesthetics with the many documented health benefits of forest bathing. Roxanne often guides on the land she tends off the Turquoise Trail, as well as at area state parks. She is available for private sessions, and through her collaboration with a trauma therapist, can also offer selected CEUs for medical professionals.

Barbara Deppman, Santa Fe
Forest Therapy is a deeply relational practice. I am a certified guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides (ANFT). I lead nature immersion walks to bring us into embodied connection—with nature, with others, and with ourselves. These walks reconnects us to our bodies and to the heart—our source of intuition, imagination, and wisdom. The forest is the Healer, the guide opens the door.

Jamie believes deeply that our land, water, and air can be active participants in resilience and recovery, weaving this conviction through her broader work in gender-based violence prevention and community healing.

Ryan Ramaker, Los Alamos
The throughline of my career has been helping people realize that our bodies, our Earth, and our futures are worth protecting. As a Certified Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and a Certified Environmental Leadership Professional, I draw on my own long journey of healing from body trauma to guide others toward the same essential truth: connecting to the land is central to healing. That understanding shapes everything I offer through Strong In Nature, from forest therapy walks to compost lessons, healthy masculinity conversations, family work, and farm work. If you'd like to explore how healthy soil teaches us about healthy relationships, or experience a guided nature and forest therapy walk, I’m here.
