Walking and Outdoor Coaching - Ripon
Outdoor Coaching Benefits
Some of my best discussions with friends and family have come from when out walking side by side.
If I ever have something on my mind, getting out for a walk and using the left and right sides of my brain, generally helps me come up with some answers.
Walking clears my head, grounds me in nature, is fabulous self-care and a good way to de-stress.
Trauma can be stored in the fascia of the body, so with walking coaching, you get to move your body to produce endorphins and feel good mood chemicals
- Being outdoors provides a digital detox and an opportunity to be
outside in nature - Some clients find it helpful to walk side-by-side rather than making full eye contact across a therapy room
- It is a collaborative process rather than therapy
- An opportunity to be guided in mindfulness and being present
- It can provide grounding and stabilisation through somatic movement and offers an opportunity to process painful emotions while moving the body
- Nature provides a natural grounding experience
- Clients openly express a sense of liberation when engaging in outdoor coaching. The open spaces provide welcome relief from the confines of indoor spaces, allowing for more physical and emotional breathing room
Sessions are one hour, are local to Ripon, subject to a video assessment, coaching contract and health & safety guidelines. Sessions are not therapy, but more of a coaching aspect so are available for a minimum of four sessions.
