Coaching in Nature - Let’s Walk & Talk

Explore how to co-create transformation and renewal in community with your coach and your natural environment.

It’s easy to do! Simply call into the coaching call from your favorite trail or park and I will lead you through the process of connection and exploration.

I draw from coaching frameworks, somatic work, mindfulness, and my own brand of nature work. Whether you are looking for revitalization or solving a gnarly problem, walk and talk coaching is a fabulous process.

Why in Nature?

This is me at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, half way through my North Rim to South Rim hike in September 2024. Planning, training, and doing this hike got me through a particularly difficult time. This amazing experience solidified for me that nature is a powerful healer.

I grew up on rural land and spent much of my adult life returning to nature on the weekends to play, hike, and renew. Then at the end of COVID after some personal losses, my partner and I sold our home, bought a trailer and took to the road with our dog. We spent a year camping our trailer on stunning Western landscapes, exploring amazing hikes, and soaking up the vast and varied land we get to call home. While on this adventure I continued to coach and lead mindfulness meditation groups. Through this experience I learned that the intersection of nature, coaching, and mindfulness is a powerful seedbed for transformation.
