Meet Your Guide
|
Marie Bourdon (she/her), founder and guide at Move to Nature, is a Registered Yoga Teacher, a Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, and a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who served for over a decade, at home and abroad. Following a medical release from the CAF, through gentle movement and nature connection practices, Marie found a safe space to heal and to adapt to a new way of living and being. She also noticed that spending contemplative time in the forest helped identify the elements needed to optimize her health and wellbeing: movement, community, and nature connection – the foundations to Move to Nature.
