Jamie & 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.

2026 Schedule
September 27, 2026
I’m excited to partner with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce again for this event. If you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s and looking to connect with other local professionals in a relaxed, outdoorsy setting, join us for the Young Professionals Group Hike. It’s a friendly, low‑pressure way to meet new people, enjoy the coastal scenery, and start your morning with movement that feels good.
We’ll explore a scenic trail with a few short, rewarding climbs and plenty of ocean views. Expect easy conversation, fresh air, and a welcoming group — no formal networking, no pressure, just genuine connection.
Whether you’re new to the area, curious about the Chamber, or simply want to get outside with a great group of people, you’re invited.
Open to all.
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
