Prepare For Your Session
Clarify Your Goals
Take a moment to think about what you want to focus on in the session, whether it's a specific issue or general emotional state.
Express Your Feelings
Quickly write down any emotions, thoughts, or events from the past week that may be relevant for discussion.
Imagine Success
Imagine having a positive and productive conversation, setting the mental stage for the session.
Recall a Key Memory
Briefly identify a past memory or feeling you’d like to work on in EMDR. Think about how it makes you feel in the present moment and be ready to explore it.
Center Yourself
Take a moment to ground yourself before the session by paying attention to your surroundings. Notice the sensations of your feet on the floor, your hands in your lap, and your breath. This helps to stay present and calm during the EMDR process.
Prepare for Your NatureMind™ Session
NatureMind™ Walk & Talk
If you’ll be doing a Walk + Talk session, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Choose a safe, quiet place where you can walk and talk freely—whether that’s your neighborhood, a nearby park, or even a treadmill at home. For the best experience, please:
- Make sure your phone is fully charged
- Connect your earbuds or headphones ahead of time
- Check that your signal is strong enough for a phone or video call
- Dress comfortably and bring water if you’ll be outdoors
- Map out your walk ahead of time—familiar paths are best so we can focus on your goals, not your GPS
This is your time to move through both your thoughts and your environment with intention. I’m looking forward to walking with you.
Walk & Talk Coaching
NatureMind™ Virtual Walk + Talk Life Coaching is a mindset-shifting, clarity-building coaching session that happens while you walk. Whether you’re pacing your backyard or strolling your neighborhood, I’ll coach you via phone or video as you move. Nature sharpens focus, boosts mood, and breaks mental fog—making this a powerful space for decision-making, strategy, and aligned next steps.
EMDR & Walk Therapy
NatureMind™ Virtual EMDR + Walk blends EMDR trauma therapy with mindful walking in your own outdoor space. With earbuds in and your device on audio or video, I guide you through EMDR protocols while you walk—harnessing the body’s natural bilateral movement to process stuck memories and reduce emotional overwhelm. It's EMDR with a breath of fresh air—literally.
Walking Therapy Sessions
NatureMind™ Virtual Walk + Talk Therapy invites you to step outside, plug in your headphones, and bring your therapist with you—virtually. You walk. I guide. Together we process stress, trauma, grief, or anxiety while you move through nature at your own pace. Movement can ease tension, regulate your nervous system, and spark insight in ways a traditional seated session may not. Wherever you are, healing can walk with you.
