Walking Sessions
Your path to healing and self-discovery.
Walking Sessions bring movement and nature to your counselling and therapy experience.
Whether a park or neighborhood, outdoor walking sessions offer physical and mental benefits. They help improve your sense of presence, develop regulation skills, and encourage wise decision making. Walk and talks are perfect for those seeking a holistic, active way to improve their mental health and functional wellness.
Each of our therapists offer a local meeting spot, which can be found on our Teams page. If weather interferes, we are happy to reschedule or provide a backup Virtual Session.

Mindfulness of Body
Mindfulness in the body means tuning into physical sensations, recognizing areas of tension, and fostering a sense of connection between the mind and body. This awareness helps regulate the nervous system, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being.
Mindfulness of Mind
Mindfulness in the mind is about observing thoughts without judgment, recognizing emotional patterns, and cultivating a present, focused state. This mental awareness fosters emotional resilience, reduces anxiety, and enhances cognitive clarity.
Mindfulness of Activities
Mindfulness isn't limited to stillness—it can be practiced in everyday activities. By bringing full attention to what you're doing, you enhance the experience and reduce mental clutter.
Mindfulness of Others
Mindfulness in relationships means being present with others, listening with intention, and responding with empathy. This practice deepens connections, reduces misunderstandings, and fosters genuine interactions.
Mindfulness is more than just a state of mind—it has measurable effects on the brain and body. Through consistent practice, mindfulness rewires neural pathways, regulates emotions, and promotes overall well-being.
