As the Founder and Operator, I leverage my certification as a Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide to offer forest bathing walks and mindfulness in nature workshops. Based in the Austin, Texas area, Cedar Revival provides individuals and groups with unique experiences that promote health, well-being, and a deeper connection with nature.My journey began while working for a startup that helped users discover and book unique overnight stays at nature-immersive escapes. I observed many users who understood their need for nature, especially after being quarantined during COVID, but didn't know how to engage with it. I saw an opportunity to bridge this gap and make nature more approachable.In pursuing my certification as a nature therapist, I discovered the profound benefits of interacting with nature for my own health and mindset. I learned to extend my meditation sessions into nature, paying attention to my surroundings, finding peace in the outdoor elements, and slowing down. This personal transformation fueled my passion to guide others on a similar journey."Cedar Revival" is more than just a business.
