“Being an avid hiker, Janet knows the most beautiful hiking trails. She led my class on trails that caused my students to say things like, "This is more beautiful than a movie" and "It's so quiet out here that I can only hear birds, nature, and the rocks under my shoes." Janet helped my students truly feel connected in a mindful moment where their body and mind slowed down enough to make a meaningful connection to nature!”
