Much of this work is shaped by time spent on quiet trails and open landscapes.

Mindfully Outdoors was created as a response to a world that rarely slows down. Over time, quiet moments outdoors, simple mindfulness practices, and reflective listening became a way to reconnect with what felt steady and meaningful through mindful hiking experiences. This space exists to offer that same steadiness to others, not as an escape from life, but as a way to meet it with more presence, care, and awareness, incorporating mindfulness and storytelling into our experiences. There is no pressure here to improve or perform, only an invitation to pause and notice what is already present, while exploring outdoor meditation techniques.

Mindfulness guide and storyteller

I approach mindfulness as a lived practice rather than a perfected skill. My mindful hiking experiences on quiet trails, attention to breath, and the power of storytelling have all shaped how this work is offered. Again and again, I’ve found that stillness is less about finding answers and more about creating space.

Rather than teaching techniques to master, this work focuses on mindfulness and storytelling, returning to simple awareness and building a steadier relationship with the present moment through outdoor meditation techniques.
