Nature has always been an important part of my life. Walking helps me slow down, be more present and, very often, see more clearly things that tend to go unnoticed when I am caught up in everyday life.
That is where the idea of taking some sessions outdoors came from. In Walking Coaching, we walk through the natural surroundings of Begues while we talk, leaving room to pause, observe or spend a little time in silence.
It is not a hike or a sports activity, but another way of working together, one that brings movement and what emerges along the way into the process.
For some people, talking while walking feels more natural than sitting face to face. Sometimes simply leaving our usual environment, moving our bodies and being somewhere different can help us look at a situation in another way, allow new ideas to emerge or help us stop going round and round the same thoughts. This can be particularly helpful during periods when we have been living for too long with rush, pressure or stress.
Stepping away from the desk, the computer and our usual routine can be a way of slowing down and paying attention again to how we are, what we need and things that may go unnoticed when we are constantly doing, solving or thinking about what comes next.
During the session we can keep talking as we walk, stop when something important comes up, or simply walk in silence for a while before continuing.
We do not have to fill every silence. Movement, the body and the surroundings can also become part of what we notice.
It is not a hike or a sports activity. The route will be easy and we will adapt the pace as we go
What matters is not how far we walk or reaching a particular destination, but having a different kind of space from which to look at what you are living through.
Yes. You do not need to choose one format for the whole process. We can combine online or in-person sessions with Walking Coaching when it makes sense and depending on availability.
With the six-session package, one session can be Walking Coaching at no extra cost.
Online and in-person sessions can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed sessions, must be paid for, except in exceptional circumstances.
For Walking Coaching, the booking is confirmed with a €20 deposit, which is deducted from the total session fee
- Walking Coaching sessions can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice, as they involve more organization and travel. If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice or do not attend, the deposit is non-refundable.
If you let me know more than 48 hours in advance, the deposit can be transferred to a new date.
Sessions take place in the natural surroundings of Begues and the routes are easy. You do not need hiking experience or a particular level of fitness. I simply recommend comfortable clothes, suitable walking shoes and water, especially in hot weather.
If the weather does not allow the session to take place comfortably or safely, we can find another date or hold the session online or in person instead. In that case, the deposit will either be deducted from the session that takes place or kept for the new date.
The meeting point depends on the route and I will send it to you before the session. All routes are in the Begues area and can be adapted to each person’s pace and needs.
