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.
