🌿 May on the Trail

May brought steady miles, cool mornings, and a lot of heart out on the trail. I’m grateful for May Gray, which brought cooler, overcast mornings and ideal hiking conditions.

With coaching underway for big adventures like the Machu Picchu Inca Trail and the Camino de Santiago Inglés, we spent the month building cardio endurance, uphill strength, and confidence with every climb. A black bear sighting in the Angeles National Forest was a good reminder that we share these trails with wildlife.

What stood out most was watching people show up for themselves and finish tough hills feeling proud and a little surprised by what they could do.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Looking forward to June on the trail. June Gloom, bring it on.

April brought a full mix of moments on the trail — group hikes, personalized coaching sessions, and a private event with returning financial advisors. Clear skies, green hills, and those perfect spring mornings made every mile feel a little lighter.

We welcomed new clients and reconnected with familiar faces. Throughout the month, I saw people show up for themselves, support one another, and find grounding in the simple act of moving through nature. Nature heals.

Whether we were pacing through a coaching session or sharing conversation on a group hike, each outing added to the rhythm of this community built on movement and connections.

See you on the trails 🌿

🌿 March on the Trail

So many meaningful moments this month — from a refreshing Malibu waterfall hike that gave us a forest‑bathing experience to a grounding morning with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce PVP Young Professionals Group.

We also shared Lisa’s inspiring wellness journey in this month’s HikeWise. Her story is a beautiful reminder of what steady, consistent steps can create.

Grateful for everyone who joined us on the trail. These moments continue to shape our supportive community built on movement and connection.

It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know one another in a relaxed outdoor setting. We even had a few K9 hikers join us, adding a pawsome touch to the experience. 🐾

Hello March, you’re gorgeous! 🌿

People often ask me what my favorite hike is, and honestly, I don’t have one. I simply love trails. Even a photo of a winding path can instantly make me excited to get outside, so choosing a single favorite feels impossible.

Last weekend I returned to one of my local Malibu favorites, and early spring is the best time to explore it. The light, the air, the energy, everything feels a little more alive right now.

For those who enjoy the details:
Level: Trail Scout B
Dist: 4.5 miles
Elev Gain: 725 ft
Difficulty: Moderate

I am sharing a highlight from the morning. If you need a midday reset, take a little break and walk with me for a bit. Imagine the gentle scent of lilac in the air and a light, cool breeze on your face.

Here’s to more mindful miles and more nature as we move into spring. 🌱🥾

Last group hike of February ☀️

You wouldn’t know it with the heat wave we had… it hit 88° by the coast before 11 AM! But that view though, absolutely worth it. The trail gave us blue skies, ocean sparkle, and a whole lot of sweat. Ha.

Great job, ladies. You showed up, stayed steady in the heat, and brought so much positivity to the morning. It was such a strong way to close out the month. 🌿💛
