In short: No. While we believe in the transformative power of movement and nature, your comfort and needs always come first.

• Hybrid Flexibility: Many of our clients enjoy a "hybrid" model—meeting outdoors when the weather is beautiful and moving to Virtual Telehealth during the winter months or on days when they are traveling or feeling under the weather.

• Weather Contingencies: If it’s pouring rain, dangerously hot, or icy, we don’t want you to miss your progress. In these cases, we simply pivot to a secure video platform so your care remains consistent.

• Virtual-Only Options: We also work with many clients who live outside our walking radius but want to work with our doctoral-level experts. For these individuals, we provide high-quality virtual therapy that maintains our modern, conversational approach.

Our Goal: To meet you where you are—both physically and emotionally. Whether we are on a trail or on a screen, the depth of care remains the same.

We recommend comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate layers. Think of our sessions as a "purposeful stroll" rather than a workout—we move at a pace that feels natural to you.

Your privacy is our priority. We choose paths and parks that allow for space and distance from others. If we encounter people we know or the trail becomes crowded, we have pre-arranged "signals" or can shift the conversation to neutral topics until we have space again.

We are "all-weather" therapists to an extent, but your comfort is key. In the case of heavy rain, extreme heat, or unsafe conditions, we can easily pivot to a virtual "tele-health" session or reschedule for a clearer day.

Not at all. The goal is movement, not fitness. We adjust our pace and distance to match your comfort level. We can even find a quiet bench to sit on for a portion of the session if that's what you need that day.
