Adventure-Based Coaching

Connect with Mark

Some conversations need room to breathe

One-on-one coaching for young adults, returning students, parents, and adults who find it easier to talk, think things through, and work through challenges while moving and spending time outside.

A different kind of office

For some people, a trail, riverbank, chairlift, or quiet place outdoors creates just enough space for conversation to come more naturally. Adventure-Based Coaching brings one-on-one coaching into that setting.

Time together can focus on a decision, transition, relationship, personal goal, or something that has been difficult to sort through. Mark keeps the conversation direct and purposeful while the activity gives it room to unfold.

Adventure-Based Coaching is a coaching service. When clinical care is already part of the picture, Mark works alongside the therapists and providers involved so treatment recommendations stay connected to what is happening in everyday life.

If licensed clinical support is needed and not yet in place, he can help the family identify the right resources.

WHO IT'S FOR

Sometimes it’s just easier to talk when you’re doing something

This approach can be a good fit for people who feel more comfortable talking while moving, doing something they enjoy, or simply spending time away from the usual setting.

  • Young adults returning home after college, treatment, or a program; parents working through family decisions; adults navigating transitions; and people who find conversation easier when they are active and engaged.

  • Motivation, communication, decision-making, life transitions, college or career planning, family relationships, returning home after treatment, or another specific goal.

  • Mark starts by learning what is happening and what the person hopes to work on. Together, they choose an activity and setting that fit the person, the goal, the location, and their comfort level.

“Working with Mark helped me find the direction I needed in a time where I thought my life was over.”

CHOOSE THE SETTING

The activity is the setting, not the point.

You don’t need to be especially outdoorsy or experienced. Mark helps choose an activity that feels comfortable and makes sense for the person and the time together.
