Outdoor coaching is an evidence-based practice that works effectively to allow you to see things differently or think differently, and to free you up for new possibilities.
Research shows that being outdoors can provide a sense of spaciousness needed for an expansion of perspective.
New ideas are more likely to be integrated into your actions, rather than lost in a traditional indoor, sedentary conversation.
"Susan has been amazing. The difference that a relationship with a person solely dedicated to your success can make is astounding. I know I will be carrying Susan, her insights, and her positivity in my pocket long after the coaching relationship!"
Private and confidential audio-only coaching allows greater flexibility than screen-based virtual meetings. In addition to all of the benefits of working with a coach, you’ll be gifting yourself a valuable wellness practice.
Walk-and-talk coaching remotely is an audio-only practice that requires special preparation; instructions will be provided prior to beginning the series. You can expect to gain:
a sense of enhanced creativity and openness to new ideas;
an increased awareness of your senses and being present in the moment;
a positive experience of nature, enjoying the outdoors, being in the open air and its calming effect
