Founded in 2018Eight years ago, I turned to hiking during a difficult life transition and discovered how profoundly time in nature improved my mental health, perspective, and sense of connection. As a therapist, I became interested in the therapeutic impact of outdoor experiences and began creating guided nature programs for others. What started as small youth workshops in Ojai has grown into Thrive Wellness Workshop, which now offers a wide range of therapist-informed outdoor programs for youth and adults. Today, Thrive provides accessible, community-based experiences that support emotional well-being, connection, and personal growth through time in nature.
