Create More Calm
Each hike is intentionally organized to give that beautiful brain of yours the break it needs and deserves. With just the right combination of "down time" and practice refocusing your attention, your mind will think more clearly, your body and it's nervous system will chill out and function more optimally, and your spirit will feel lighter and a helluva lot brighter!
WARNING: the calm you experience will affect those around you...in the best way.
​
​
​
Surround Yourself with
Kick-Ass Community
It's one thing to know people, but an entirely different thing to feel like you belong. In fact, investing in relationships that create a safe space where we don't have to fake the funk is imperative to our total health and well-being. That's what you'll find inside this series - playful, growth-minded women from all walks and stages of life who will see you, hear you, and remind you of just how bad ass you are...even when you're not feelin' it.
​
Move That Body
It's no secret that movin' is good for us. But did you know that movement supports recovery? That's right! The latest research reveals that making a habit out of moving our bodies (enough to elevate the heart rate) plays a BIG role in how well we recover from life's stressors. Whether you're already moving or could use some help establishing a more solid routine, this series will support and inspire you to get (and stay) physical so you can meet life's setbacks feeling more capable and empowered.​
Get Back to Nature
Social environments, the frequency of devices, and loud noises (power tools/sirens/screaming kids) can leave us feeling drained and on edge. Time spent in nature offers an antidote to these sneaky buzz kills. With each hike you'll be bringing harmony back to your system as we explore some of the most gorgeous parks in the Bay Area (my personal favs). You'll drink in the soothing scent of eucalyptus, take in awe-inspiring views of the bay, listen to calming wildlife sounds...and maybe even hug a tree. ;) Get ready to exhale.
THE DEETS
WHO LIFTED IS FOR​

​
-

​

you've got a lot on your mind and/or are having a hard time prioritizing

HOW WE ROLL​
​

1 week before each scheduled hike you'll receive an email with all the info you'll need to have a spectacular hiking experience
​
-
we'll start each hike with a check-in so you can get to know the wonderful women in our group while learning more about yourself, too
​
-
you should know

our pace is more like a saunter (2.5 - 3 mi/hr)​
-
the terrain will be varied (loose gravel, dirt, paved, sand)
-
there will be hills and a few steep descents (although, not on every hike)
-
this series is best suited for those who are comfortable walking/hiking at least 3 miles and climbing up to 1,000ft in elevation (hikes run easy to moderate). Note: we'll pause throughout the hike to regroup and connect

each hike will include a luxurious restorative stretch and relaxation/mindfulness practice (ahhhhhhhh)
​

at the conclusion of our time together you'll have an opportunity to enjoy the company of our crew as you nosh on delectable brunchtime snacks sourced from some of the most amazing small business bakeries around. There'll also be fruit and homemade green soup (a community fav) from my very own kitchen. Literally food for the soul ;)
