  • "I had a great experience hiking with Michelle at the Papago park in Phoenix and ending it with a session of outdoor Yoga while watching spectacular sunset views throughout. Michelle respected whatever limitations I let her know and made me feel comfortable almost instantly. I definitely recommend hiking and experiencing Yoga with her. This is a great option if you are in Phoenix for a day and specially for those who are looking for solo activities. The money was worth the experience and I would do it again if I happen to visit. Thanks Michelle once again for this once in a lifetime experience!"

In addition to guiding us through a very challenging hike at Echo Canyon, Michelle brought joy and humor to the experience. Her patience and guidance as we struggled through some tough sections was extremely supportive. I am so grateful for this experience. "
