Naperville -Fresh Air & Paws: A Morning Nature Walk to Shake the Winter Blues

Hi Everyone!
Our next walk is heading to Naperville. As we transition toward spring, this walk is all about movement and nature. We’re calling this a "healing walk"—a chance to shake off the Midwest winter blues, clear the mind, and get the body moving. Whether you’re looking for a psychological reset or just a bit of fresh air, nature is the best medicine!
Pups are welcome! 🐾 I’ll be bringing my friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Leo (neutered and fully vaccinated). You are highly encouraged to bring your furry friends along!
