About This Service

The arrival of autumn encourages us to embrace change and impermanence. It is a season that prompts us to let go of what no longer benefits us, thereby creating room for new growth and fresh starts. What inspiring changes are you prepared to initiate? Let us begin this journey together. Join me for a Walk and Talk session.

Hello. I am a certified professional who provides support and encouragement to help clients realize their full potential. This work encompasses physical well-being, career advancement, relationships, and daily life, all while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors through hiking or walking.

My formal education in communications, sociology, psychology, and personal development provides a solid foundation for building successful and productive working relationships.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside world-renowned social entrepreneurs, New York Times bestselling authors, professional sports team owners, presidents and CEOs of Hollywood film production companies, as well as actors, directors, musicians, artists of all genres, international speakers, educators, students, and seniors. I have served in assistant, advisor, and mentor roles.

I have discovered that simply leaving the office and spending a short time in a natural setting offers tremendous benefits for physical, mental, and emotional health. This practice can often lead to significant breakthroughs in both professional and personal spheres.

Walking while talking allows the mind to think more clearly, facilitating rational and personal decisions that are crucial for growth.

If you believe this experience might be beneficial for you in any area of your life, please feel free to reach out.

Testimonials

I own and operate a highly successful production company and barely have time for myself, let alone time to hike. However, I made time after a colleague mentioned her hiking experiences. I was intrigued and inquired further. Needless to say, I am now hooked. Setting aside an hour, sometimes two, to walk and talk with our guide has been incredibly important. With her guidance and encouragement to take action, she has brought peace and calm not only to my everyday life but also to my business attitude toward coworkers and clients alike. - Sylvia N.

I am a 64-year-old woman. My doctor advised me to get out and walk, and I also wanted to make some changes in my life. The trouble was that many of my friends were not interested, and I found walking alone boring. I found our guide through another woman close to my age who had walked with her for a long time and spoke very highly of her. We talk about everything: movies, TV shows, books, politics, and psychology. In addition, she has helped me confidently reach goals I have had for a long time. The feeling of having someone simply there with you and for you is hard to explain; it is profoundly reassuring. I cannot thank her enough. - Beverly S.

Our guide is a wonderful listener and always offers words of clarity and encouragement when I need them. I have been a working actor for about six years. Having moved from a small town in another state to a city where people often seem reluctant to connect on a deeper level, it is incredibly refreshing to find someone who is genuine and real. Our hikes together have not only opened my eyes to what I can accomplish in life but have also helped me get into great shape. I would say, give this woman a chance; you might just be surprised by the outcome. - Tracy F.

Our guide has helped me in countless ways. I have always been shy, bashful, and hesitant to speak my mind. I hiked a lot when I was younger, but because I did not have many friends, I always went alone. Over time, I learned to enjoy my own company and never thought I would like hiking with others, let alone someone I did not know or trust. Truthfully, I was lonely and did not want to admit it. Getting to know our guide and her gift for allowing time to build trust, while also holding me accountable, has helped me open up. I have become less afraid of speaking up and speaking my mind, and I have learned to be honest with myself that not everyone is out to get you. Thank you for helping me find my place in the world. - Michael P.

I have to admit, the idea of walking and talking seemed silly to me. I thought, \"I do not need a therapist to hike with,\" so I put off contacting our guide for the longest time. When we first spoke on the phone, she assured me she was not a therapist; she was simply offering a service to walk or hike together and talk about anything if I wanted. I wondered why I would do that, so I told her I would think about it. Two years passed, and I was reminded of her after my husband died when someone mentioned how much he hated hiking. I called her and asked if she remembered me and our conversation. To my shock and surprise, she did. She recalled details that made me realize she knew exactly who I was. I decided to try walking and talking, and I have been doing so on and off for a year now. She has guided me in taking action steps toward goals I had been putting off for too long. I cannot tell you how much this has changed my life. Now I look forward to our time together and only wish I had started sooner. - Jennifer S.

I met our guide through an acquaintance who had been walking with her once a week for an hour. The growth I saw in my friend was marvelous. When I was feeling particularly stuck, she suggested I try it. I cannot stress enough how this has helped me move toward my dreams and goals. Our guide is an amazing listener and always provides a perspective for me to consider. She has unquestionably given me the clarity I needed to take charge of my life in many different areas. - Brigitte G.

I am a widower, and I need to get out and walk to keep my blood pumping and to clear my mind. Our guide has taken me on some wonderful hikes and walks. We started slowly and gradually increased the difficulty, always ensuring I was comfortable with the progression. She has helped me not only physically but mentally as well. Her patience, insight, and wisdom are much appreciated. - James Z.

In a time when social media is so important and all my friends have thousands of followers, I was always embarrassed about my own follower count. My father purchased a block of hiking sessions for me, hoping that getting out of the house and talking to someone might help. I have been to therapists, but this was different. Our guide made me feel like what I had to say was important. It did not feel like I was \"lying on a couch\" or sitting in a chair having to tell someone my problems. This felt natural and was well-suited for me. I enjoyed the process of moving toward my goal, and our guide helped me realize the path was not as difficult as I had imagined. I am forever grateful. - Nicholas P.

I am a 68-year-old woman, and I find our walks and talks immensely beneficial. I look forward to these weekly outings. We go at my pace, which I wish was a little faster, but it is what it is. I must say, I am able to walk much farther now than ever before, and in a relatively short amount of time. We discuss many things pertaining to my specific goals. Her skill as a great listener enables her to ask questions that offer me a different perspective. I am more focused now, have overcome some hurdles, and am making steady progress toward changes in my life that I have wanted for a long time. Sometimes, she simply encourages me to follow my own inner voice, and that alone is so appreciated. - Lynda W.

I have worked with our guide on and off for almost two years now. I cannot recommend her enough. During our sessions, she is incredibly attentive and has the gift of being a fantastic listener. With an emphasis on forward movement and progress, I have reached major goals I thought I would never achieve. I cannot speak highly enough of our time together. - Christine H.

My mother walked and talked with our guide to help her sort through major life issues and reach some long-held goals. She found her to be a kind, sensitive, and helpful woman in every aspect. She truly looked forward to her Tuesday sessions and always returned feeling refreshed and invigorated. Sadly, she passed away this past year, but she literally asked me to write this testimonial for her when she could no longer do so. Thank you for being there and for your help. Sincerely. - Carla B.
