Jamie Sun & Xena
Welcome! I’m Jamie Sun, a holistic hiking coach and founder of Hiking Girl with Dog. I believe in the power of the outdoors to inspire, heal, and empower. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you love adventures, nature, and dogs as much as I do. I’m so happy you’re here.
Whether you’re looking for personalized coaching, joining a guided group hike, or planning a private event, I’m here to help. Maybe you’re setting a fitness goal, preparing for a big hike, or simply wanting to feel more confident on the trails — whatever it is, let’s make it happen.
All of our hikes are dog‑friendly, and you’re welcome to join with or without a pup. Creating a welcoming space for every hiker is at the heart of what I do, so you leave the trail feeling strong, inspired, and empowered.

I’m excited to partner with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Group for this event.
It’s sure to be a great way to start the morning and connect with others in a setting that feels more natural than a traditional networking event.
Open to all — Chamber members and non-members.

After receiving such positive feedback from our last collaboration, Niki Dalal and I are teaming up again to bring a morning of gentle movement and self‑care. We’re excited to host this year’s Coastal Walk & Partner‑Stretch community event together.
This special event includes a guided walk through the scenic Vicente Bluffs Reserve, followed by a partner‑stretch session designed to support flexibility and mobility. Solo participants are welcome — you’ll be paired during the session.
What Our Hikers Are Saying
Jamie is the perfect combination of expert hiker, guide, life coach, and fitness trainer. She and her hiker pup Xena provided a calm, nurturing, and supportive environment where one can hike at either a leisurely or robust pace. During our hikes, Jamie’s encouragement and support allowed me to get back in shape and sort through some life-altering events. Jamie is simply fantastic and she has become a part of my regular wellness program. – Paul
Hiking with Jamie has been incredibly rewarding. I really enjoy how her hikes take me to new areas throughout Los Angeles and greater Southern California, to spots I didn’t even know were in our backyard! – Margaret
