Forest Fix - Canmore, Alberta

D L.

I have had the pleasure of learning from Ronna for a decade and have had many memorable experiences with her. From intensive leadership courses to snowshoe frolicking adventures to serene forest bathing outings.

I recently booked a day with Ronna to take 4 of my favourite friends into the Lake O’Hara area of Yoho National Park. Access to this incredibly special area is restricted and having Ronna as our guide allowed us to confirm seats on the Park’s Canada Day bus. I have visited this area more than 20 times without a guide. Ronna made this trip extra special with all of her knowledge and stories. She paid attention to the vibe of our group as the day progressed and provided guided moments of deep reflection just when we needed them. We giggled, cried, gazed in awe and celebrated friendship in a natural wonderland that Ronna has such deep respect for. Along the way we each learned a new hiking tip (or 5) that made the kms effortless.

Choosing Ronna as your guide for any one of the facets of her portfolio will be a wise decision. She will weave teachings together into an experience that will transform you in ways you never expected.

I chose Mountain Solace because I was in need of post-pandemic restoration. Though I’m energetic by nature and experienced in my field, I arrived exhausted. The continual need to pivot, dismantle, improvise & Repeat had frayed my nervous system and depleted my reserves. I needed to experientially reconnect with something larger than my weariness, in order to process losses and rebuild my resilience. I had no vision or enthusiasm for the work I ordinarily love.

Ronna is extraordinarily gifted, and came to our work with skill, intention, and flexibility. Her connection with the land, her broad experience and her deep listening are an unbeatable combination; opening my eyes to more beauty and possibilities than I had imagined.

I’ve returned to my life & work with fresh energy. I am able to recognize and re-frame challenges, and deal with habits that sabotage my effectiveness and steal my joy. This is ‘Solace' in the truest sense of the word! Best thing to happen to me in years.

Wow, such a special morning with Ronna in the stunning Banff National forest!! I loved my first experience of forest bathing. Ronna is so gifted and a wonderful companion/instructor. She guides you with such a beautiful countenance and helps you have a greater awareness of nature and the power of connecting! I can’t wait to learn more! Thank you Ronna!!

I would like to thank you for providing our hiking group the opportunity to visit Lake O’Hara last month.
We had an amazing time! Having you as our guide, with your historical and current knowledge of this special area and hiking expertise, made us feel comfortable and safe.

Our Forest Bathing experience with Ronna was perfect in so many ways. We were an Executive Leadership team and the power to pause, connect with nature in such stressful and fast paced world was just what the team needed. It was so easy to work with Ronna to ensure the experience was just right for this group - Ronna's invitations and questions supported the group to explore more deeply what matters most to them. Our business meetings over the next few days were some of the best meetings this team has had - there was a new level of openness and willingness to truly listen to each other. Our day being present and connected in nature was credited for this shift in the team. Thank you, Ronna

We engaged Ronna for an Executive Retreat. As the organizer, I found that Ronna was very open to designing the Forest experience based on the challenges that people were experiencing heading into the retreat. She had some great questions that she asked during the morning that allowed for everyone to have their own experience and then share their insights with the rest of the group. I would highly recommend Ronna, if you are looking for a different way to experience nature and at the same time leave renewed, with new insights! As several members of the group said, "that was way better than I was expecting" and everyone felt renewed and invigorated.

Ronna is a clear, calm and caring facilitator of forest bathing. I have been an outdoor guide and spiritually connected to the Creator and creation for M any years and I was moved by some of the activities.
