About Shinrin Soul

The heart behind Shinrin Soul

Shinrin Soul was born during a season of deep healing.

I spent years —and continue to— immerse in plant-based nutrition, Pilates, Reiki, longevity, and gentle rituals that remind me to slow down and breathe again.

Matcha became one of the first practices that helped me return home to myself.
A warm bowl in my hands.
A calm mind.
A soft morning ritual rooted in nature.

The name Shinrin Soul comes from Shinrin-yoku — the Japanese practice of forest bathing.
It’s the art of immersing yourself in the energy of the forest, letting its green, earthy stillness reset the body and clear the mind.
It became the perfect metaphor: the green of the forest, the green of matcha, and the green that brings us back to our centre.

I dreamed of creating a brand that carried the energy of Bondi’s ocean mornings, the softness of Japanese tradition, and the grounded wisdom of forest bathing.

A brand that wasn’t just matcha — but medicine for the nervous system, a moment of slowness, a soul practice.

Shinrin Soul is the bridge between Earth and ceremony, wellness and beauty, nature and intention.

I hope it becomes part of the way you return to yourself, too.
