Therapeutic Walking & Nordic Walking™ – body-led, nature-based sessions with or without poles
Where movement meets mindfulness—reconnect mind and body, and move forward with confidence.
What is Therapeutic Walking & Nordic Walking?
Therapeutic Walking & Nordic Walking combines the physical benefits of Nordic walking with a trauma-informed, coaching-based approach.
These sessions go beyond fitness. With mindful movement, breathwork and somatic awareness, each step becomes a way to reconnect with yourself—supporting physical recovery, emotional balance, and renewed confidence.
Why it’s different
Unlike traditional Nordic walking, which focuses purely on technique or fitness, this approach supports the whole of you—mind, body, and story.
Sessions weave together breath awareness, movement, and reflective coaching, creating space for both strength and emotional healing. It’s ideal for those who’ve finished physiotherapy or simply want a more therapeutic approach to recovery and movement.
Who it’s for
You might find this helpful if you're:
-
Rebuilding confidence after injury or illness
-
Feeling disconnected from your body or struggling to move without fear
-
Managing emotional fatigue or navigating a life transition
-
Seeking a gentle, empowering way to reconnect with yourself
You don’t need to be fit or outdoorsy—just ready to begin.
