Considerations

Nature & Forest Therapy Considerations

What if the weather is bad?

Usually, Walks will not be cancelled. 

Walks will occur in the rain.  If the rain is heavy or thunderstorms are expected, a walk may be delayed or cancelled.  If a Walk is cancelled, or delayed, you will receive notification via email and a phone call or text.  

Cancellations

Please cancel your reservations with 48 hours notice by email.  Forty-eight hour notice will allow me to invite anyone on a reservation list.  If you cancel a walk,  you will then receive a confirmation email with re-booking instructions.  

If you are a student cancelling for a conference, please read the Cancellation policy, refund policy and grievance procedure detailed during your booking. 

Age 

Walks are for individuals 12 years of age or older, unless noted for children under 12 such as the Family Walk

Pets

Please do not bring any pets, as they can be a distraction or safety concern to other participants.

Payment for Walks

Payment is completed on-line while booking a walk.  I do accept tips if you feel this is appropriate.   Please don't let financial limitations prevent you from contacting me to participate in a walk or activity - I do offer free walks  from time-to-time.  

Laughter Yoga Considerations

Contradictions for practice include: If you experience swelling in the groin area or pain when laughing (possible hernia), incontinence when laughing, bleeding, experience chest pain when laughing, recent major surgery (within 3 months), epilepsy, severe backache, or history of miscarriage or complications with pregnancy – stop laughing as an exercise and/or consult your medical doctor. 

Qigong Considerations 

Contradictions for Qigong include clients with serious mental health conditions (like psychosis or severe personality disorders) where it might trigger imbalances, clients with risk of fall, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy - limitations with certain acupressure points, please consult a medical doctor like you would with any excercise activity.  Overall Qigong is a very safe and gentle practice.
