🌿 Therapy That Moves With You. Now Offering Weekend Sessions! 🌿

Research shows that walking in nature can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety more effectively than indoor settings alone for some individuals. Nature provides a calming, non-triggering environment that supports nervous system regulation. Combined with the powerful connection of group support, participants often report increased belonging, reduced stigma, and greater self-understanding.
