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. It's a reflection of this journey and a beacon for the future, guiding individuals to harness the power of nature for self-awareness, growth, and fulfillment.In my role, I:* Develop a comprehensive suite of services, including forest bathing walks and mindfulness in nature workshops.* Built a professional website and established an online presence for the business.* Implement marketing strategies via social media, email marketing, and local community events.* Design tailored programs for tech-savvy clients and restless or anxious teens.* Collaborate with complementary providers, such as outdoor yoga instructors, to provide additional value to clients.* Foster a strong community through the practice of Council, a method of gathering people in a circle to share their stories.* Explore corporate partnerships to bring nature therapy programs to employees.
