Research suggests that we need time in wild places for our health. With my experience and professional expertise in the Central Sierra Nevada region of California, I am able to offer a variety of wellness opportunities including forest plant walks, local foraging, hiking, mindfulness practices, guided imagery meditations, and integrative health coaching specializing in personal rewilding practices for mental and emotional health. Sessions are centered around individual needs.

Evidence-based sensory experiences in natural environments like forests have been shown to improve mental health outcomes, increase confidence and positive emotions, regulate the nervous system, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout. When we are in wild places, our senses work to help bring balance to mind and body. The sights, sounds, and smells of a forest alone can shift our entire physiology within just a couple hours.

Feel calmer, less stressed, clear, and inspired to live a more mindful and joyful life by spending time in the wild.

Guided imagery is an intuitive process that involves the use of deep relaxation and imaginative expression. This can be done as a passive practice where I completely guide the imagery, or it can be facilitated in an interactive way. The practice is comprised of progressive relaxation (breath work and body scan), inquiry into concern/focus of session, deep listening, and open-end questions that evoke healing physiological responses in the mind and body. The process involves having dialogue with images and dream figures that naturally emerge from within us and offer healing, relief, insight, and growth. This offering can be part of your nature immersion experience.

People love guided imagery for gaining insights, practicing deep relaxation, and broadening perspectives.

We also offer custom local ethically wildcrafted and organically grown herbal medicine including: tinctures, vinegars, glycerites, teas, syrups, and fresh local herbs. (note: additional fees apply)
