How I Became a Walking Coach — Life Coaching in Motion

In 2000, I hit rock bottom. Burnout. Divorce. Stage IV Cancer.
Walking every day wasn’t a hobby—it was survival.

But something unexpected happened: walking healed me. Body. Mind. Soul.

Step by step, I invented something new—before it had a name. A kind of coaching that moves with you, grounded in nature and presence. I called it Walking Coaching. Years later, it got recognized for innovation.

I never advertised. People found me—word of mouth, chance meetings, crossing paths. They showed up broken, exhausted, anxious, lost. They walked with me because walking together brought them back to themselves—deeply, gently, fully.

Today, I guide individuals and teams through transformational walks combining coaching, mindfulness, self-reflection, and energy awareness. This isn’t therapy, and it isn’t performance coaching. It’s raw presence in motion—outdoors, compassionate, real-time.

If you’re navigating grief, burnout, anxiety, life changes—or just feeling disconnected—this work brings clarity, relief, and reconnection.

What I offer:

• 1:1 coaching sessions in nature (also remotely)
• Corporate workshops & retreats combining movement, communication, and energy tools
• Practical methods for stress relief, emotional resilience, and inner clarity

You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need a goal. You only need to show up, walk, and explore.

“Get to know your mind and use it—don’t let it control you with old games, habits, or social conditioning.”
