About
Backcountry Wellness
I started this practice because I know how hard it can be to talk about personal struggles—especially when you don’t know where to start. You don’t need to have the right words or all the answers. You just need a safe space to begin.
Over time, I began to notice the limitations of traditional office counselling. The setting can feel a little sterile or formal—especially for young people, or anyone who struggles to open up in those environments. Outdoors, something different happens. Movement, fresh air, and the natural world create space for reflection, calm, and clarity. I’ve seen people connect more deeply with themselves while walking through the trees than they ever could seated on a couch.
This approach blends proven counselling techniques with the grounding, restorative power of nature. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not quite yourself, we’ll walk through it together in a way that feels natural and meaningful to you.
