If it is medically, physically, and clinically a good fit, this is where the therapist literally and figuratively walks alongside you. The two of you meet in the briskness of the cool air or in the warmth of the sun and walk a trail. As you walk along, you are mindful and relaxed. You can take in deep long breaths, release tension, process differently, and discover new insights.

Walking is not a substitute for the therapeutic models used – rather it is an opportunity to calm, reflect, find perspective, and connect with nature, and with one another in a unique way.

'Exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders, and even upticks in empathy and cooperation.' -APA
