Dr. Tara Tiger Brown (PhD, UBC Forestry & Environmental Stewardship) provides the evidence-based structure patients and prescribers need to turn a PaRx prescription into a lasting health habit.
The Evidence-Based Connector
The BC Parks Foundation (PaRx) provides the prescription. I provide the protocol. As a registered PaRx Connector and one of the few PhDs in Canada to study forest bathing, I specialize in solving the three biggest barriers to nature follow-through:
Guidance: Knowing exactly what to do once you are outside.
Confidence: Feeling comfortable and safe in the practice.
Habit: Building a consistent routine that fits into a busy life.
The Clinical Advantage
My programs are built on RCT-validated research. They are designed to be accessible from anywhere. This includes urban parks, backyards, or indoor window views for those with mobility constraints.

About Dr. Tara Tiger Brown
Dr. Tara Tiger Brown is a leading researcher in forest bathing in Canada. She holds a PhD from the UBC Faculty of Forestry & Environmental Stewardship. Her research included a randomized-controlled trial to compare health outcomes after guided and solo forest bathing. She specializes in the clinical application of nature-based interventions to improve mental health and cognitive function.
As a PaRx Connector, Dr. Brown provides a structured, evidence-based pathway for patients to fulfill their nature prescriptions. Her flagship program, Sit Spot Club Practices, is an evidence-based step-wise audio-guided practice. It is designed specifically to overcome common patient barriers: not knowing what to do outdoors, feeling uncomfortable alone, and struggling to build a consistent nature habit.
How I Help Patients
I provide a soft landing for nature prescriptions. Through structured audio guidance and daily micro-practices, I help patients transition from a clinical recommendation to a sustainable, daily nature habit. My programs are accessible from anywhere.
How I Help Prescribers
I offer a follow-through solution for your patients. Instead of just telling a patient to “spend time in nature,” you can refer them to a PhD-backed, structured protocol. This protocol tracks engagement and provides clear, science-based instructions. I am available for clinical pilots and organizational partnerships with OT clinics, senior care facilities, and mental health practices.
