Or even to find a trail to just walk and disconnect. Whenever I was able to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature in some capacity, I found I could regroup and see situations from different angles. This wouldn't make the problems completely go away, but it allowed me a moment to breathe. I needed a space where I could put my phone away, close my laptop, and allow my mind some peace.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Sometimes I would even bring paper on these trails, and some of my favorite writings came from sitting in nature. I even wrote my admissions letter for the doctoral program while disconnecting from the business of life and reconnecting with the calmness of nature. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> So when I started thinking about a practice name, I immediately began to think about some of the nature trails that I would walk on when I had these moments where I needed to disconnect and reconnect without distractions. I wanted to have a name that would guide the practice. A name where someone would know that they did not have to walk the pathway to healing by themselves. A name where someone would know that they were supported and cared for as they navigated understanding their life and circumstances.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> That is how Healing Paths and Wellness first came to be. The name actually came to me during a cabin retreat that I took after busy time. There was minimal WIFI and no television. Just a cabin overlooking a lake, with deer and plenty of birds, a campfire, and numerous trails to walk. </span> </p> <p> <span> On behalf of all of the clinicians here at Healing Paths and Wellness, we are truly honored to walk with you on your healing journey. It is not just a saying. It is something that each of us feels and embodies.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> We are honored to walk these healing paths with you. <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:27:14 GMT https://www.healingpathsandwellness.com/meet-hpw thumbnail main image
