Upward Journey Coaching, LLC

Clients will focus on cultivating practical life skills, healthier relationships, self-awareness, and the restorative benefits of spending time in nature.  Healing through nature can support the body, mind, and spirit while helping to transition from survival toward a healthier, more balanced, and thriving lifestyle.

​

Life skills are not merely about emotional regulation.  They encompass effective self-awareness, communication, decision-making, managing responsibilities, responding to feedback, handling conflict, and caring for one’s physical and emotional well-being. Through discussion, reflection, and role-playing, clients will have opportunities to practice applying healthy life skills to realistic situations. 

Spiritual grounding begins with the realization that God desires a relationship with each of us.  During this workshop, clients will have an opportunity to explore foundational ways of connecting with God and reflect on their spiritual beliefs. As we walk, sit, listen, and experience nature, we will reflect on God’s presence and consider how spiritual grounding may support inner awareness, peace, resilience, and personal growth. 

This workshop will explore how spiritual reflection and meaningful connection can support self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional regulation.  Clients will explore how to recognize signs of emotional imbalance, examine patterns of thinking and behavior, and practice practical skills for responding in healthier ways.

​

Our next workshop is Thursday, October 1, 2026 from 10:30 am - 12 noon.  The cost is $60 and payment and registration is necessary prior to workshop date.  Contact us for more information or to register.  

Herbs, fermented foods, and organically grown foods are a few natural ways that support gut health, and clients will explore the connection between the gut and brain.  A walk in nature and visiting an herb garden will provide an opportunity to observe farm animals and wildlife may provide a calming and grounding experience for the mind and spirit.

This workshop focuses on cultivating practical life skills and healthier relationships through a guided interaction with horses.  Equine balance begins with developing a respectful and trusting relationship with the horse.  During the workshop participants will learn basic horse-care skills through activities such as petting, grooming, bathing, and other supervised activities.

We will discuss deepening one’s relationship with God, developing spiritual awareness, and creating space for stillness and renewal.  We will explore ways nature and animals may help participants notice their thoughts, emotions, body language, relationships, and patterns of interaction.     Nature walks, sitting on the ground, along with interaction with horses are some of the ways clients may make those connections.
