About me

My name is Oana, I am a mother of two “free range” boys, ages 7 and 10, and for over 20 years I have been dancing with the energy of entrepreneurship.

The motto that accompanied me every step along the way has always been the same: "Don't go where the path may lead, go where there is no path and leave a trail"

And that's what I did. I left trails in areas that 'the world' said were impossible or crazy - the first hemp seed processing factory in Europe, cultivation and processing of hemp fibers for the automotive industry, houses made of hemp and lime, a kindergarten in the forest, a democratic free school.

Tourism, real estate, food industry, alternative education, natural constructions, each experience generated a new trail. And only now, after 20 years, have I realised that all these trails actually form a single one, my life.

Today, I want to share everything I have lived and learned, as a certified Healing Nature Guide, on the healing trails of Târsa, in the heart of the Luncanilor plateau.

The trail is actually me.

Walden Healing Nature Trail

A journey toward yourself

The Healing Trail is more than a path through nature, it is a living metaphor for the inner journey.

Its design is based on interdisciplinary studies, every step on the trail becomes an invitation toward deep connection with yourself through nature. Grounding through the direct contact of your soles with the earth, the experience of touching and listening to flowing water, breathing exercises in the silence of the forest, spaces designed for reflection and introspection.

And at the decision forks, the trail offers you the choice of unmarked paths, a symbol of adventure, of embracing the unknown, of fresh new perspectives.

Healing spaces along the trail

Zen Untangle

A place for untangling thoughts, where the mind grows quiet and the tangled threads of the day come undone in silence.

Tree of Life Labyrinth

A walking meditation you follow the winding path and let yourself guided towards inner peace and clarity.

Zen Garden

The contemplative garden, a space of deep stillness where you draw your story and nature becomes a mirror.

Bridges & Crossings

Symbols of transition, each crossing brings you closer to your inner self.

SHINRIN-YOKU TRANSYLVANIA

The science behind the forest

Forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) is not just a beautiful Japanese tradition — it is supported by rigorous scientific research. Here's what happens when you step into the forest:

Physical health

Lowers blood pressure, improves metabolism and cardiovascular function.

Stronger Immune System

NK (natural killer) cells, which fight viral infections and cancer cells, increase up to 50% after a session in the forest

Mental and emotional health

Reduces cortisol levels, anger, anxiety, and depression — measurable effects from the very first visit.

Sleep quality

Terpenes from conifers calm the mind and help combat insomnia naturally.

Clarity and focus

Just 15 minutes spent in nature significantly improve mental clarity and the ability to concentrate.

EXPERIENCES

Choose your trail

Every experience is different because every person is different. There are no rigid programmes, only the invitation to be present.

Individual or group

Guided Walks

A slow, guided walk on the Healing Trail, with nature connection exercises, breath work and introspection. Duration and pace adapt to the group.

Online guidance

INDIVIDUAL, FROM ANYWHERE

For those who cannot reach Târsa, a hybrid guided nature session, me in the forest, you anywhere. Healing nature comes to you.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Days in Târsa

I invite you to my home. Together with Alex, Max, and Ida, we offer a refuge, days where you step into another world. Village life with forest walks, playing with the children, small tasks in the garden. No planning, no structured therapy programme. When asked "What is your qualification?" — the answer is simply "Life."
