About Kelly Parochetti

Certified Forest Nature Therapy Guide

Welcome! I’m Kelly Parochetti, the founder of Balance and Thrive. My wellness journey began when I realized the powerful impact nature can have on our health and well-being. After spending 20 years in the corporate world, I found myself searching for a way to disconnect, recharge, and truly nourish myself. Nature was always my refuge, and I longed for a deeper way to unplug and reconnect with the world around me.

This search led me to forest therapy training, where I discovered the profound benefits of immersing in nature for both mind and body. Now, through Balance and Thrive, I’m passionate about helping others find balance, resilience, and joy by connecting with nature and cultivating self-awareness. Let's take a pause from the busyness of life and step into the healing embrace of the outdoors together.
