Nature Therapy Retreats

Sometimes you just need a few hours doing therapeutic walking and hiking in nature to recharge, unplug, and rest. This hiking or walking retreat would be a great opportunity to do so while engaging in therapy. It will be a half day hike of your choice - depending on what you like and weather conditions. 

Time: 9 am-12 pm or 1-4 pm.

Take the day off from your regular life and join Nadia, a licensed mental health counselor, for a full-day therapy hike at a location of your choice, weather permitting. 

Popular destinations include: King's Landing, Honoli'i Falls, Ha'ena Beach (Shipman's Beach), Waipio Valley, Pololu Valley, Kilauea Iki, Multiple Kipuka Trails, & Mana Road. 

Time: 9 am - 4 pm.  

One day of therapeutic walking or hiking is just not enough to unplug or to work through a pressing issue. Like they say, you need to sleep on it! If that's the case, this overnight package is for you. 

Popular destinations include: Manuka, Road to the Sea, Makalawena, Kalopa, Captain Cook.

This package is for those who have 

a little more than 1 issue to address and would like to venture to more distant territories during their therapeutic walking and hiking experience. This offers more time for therapy, self reflection, and fun.

Popular destinations include: Manuka, Road to the Sea, Makalawena, Kalopa, Captain Cook. 

This package would allow you to not only work on a couple of issues but also spend more time exploring the unique environment of the retreat through therapeutic hiking. You can also spend more time alone, or do more snorkeling, yoga or meditation. 

Popular destinations include: Waimanu Valley, Keauhou trail (at Volcanoes Nat. Park), Kalopa State park.

This package will allow you to either spend more time working on your mental health at one location, or go to an even more remote area or change locations within one retreat. For example, start the hike up the mountains and finish down at the ocean or river. 

Popular destinations include: Waimanu Valley, Keauhou trail (at Volcanoes Nat. Park), Kalopa State park. 

Cost: as low as $40 per person per hour (see cost distribution below)

You are just about to tie a knot? Ok, I get it, I've been there - so much to think about and sort through. While it is so crucial, it also can be very hard, overwhelming, exhausting and confusing. I can help you go through that in the most gentle way possible. You can consider this as your "pre-wedding" honeymoon.
