What Our Clients Say About the Experience
I had never been an avid hiker, so it was difficult for me just to get started. Now, I understand how important it is to get out into nature, challenge myself, and see things I would never get to see!
— Dean
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!
