Private Nature
Therapy Walks
Are you seeking clarity for your next chapter—or healing from the last one? Nature offers a quiet wisdom that can hold and restore you.
In a private session, I will gently guide you into the natural world through mindful practices and sensory experiences—where the forest is the therapist, and I am your guide. We’ll close by reflecting on your experience and sharing a soothing tea.
Sessions can take place in a forest, park, or even your own backyard.

Pricing: $150 for a 90-minute session or $500 for a 4-session package.
