I am an avid hiker, kayaker, and hippie nature lover! My 10 year old Chihuahua is my best friend and hiking buddy - she goes everywhere I go! In today’s hectic world, we forget that we were made to move and to be in nature. While there are wonderful benefits to living in a tech forward society; it is an unnatural environment and studies show that spending time outdoors can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and improve physical and mental health overall.

I am not against using medications at all, but I do believe in the added benefits of physical activity, healthy diet and time spent outside as part of a well-rounded treatment plan.
