About us

This group is for people in their 30s and 40s who are carrying something heavy — and who are done carrying it alone.

Maybe you're navigating a divorce. A career that looks fine on paper but feels hollow inside. The slow grief of a life that didn't turn out the way you planned. Or just the relentless exhaustion of being the person who holds everything together.

Move & Heal NYC creates small-group outdoor experiences that combine guided hiking, intentional movement, and facilitated group conversation — led by a licensed therapist and certified personal trainer who designed this specifically for people in transition.

This isn't a fitness group. It isn't group therapy. It's something in between, and honestly, more useful than either.

We keep groups intentionally small — never more than 6 people — so every experience feels personal, not performative. Most of our trips head to the trails of Putnam County and the Hudson Valley, about 90 minutes from the city, with a vineyard stop to close the day.

WHO THIS IS FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Women rebuilding identity and confidence after divorce or major loss
→ Men in their 30s and 40s who want real connection without the therapy label
→ Burned-out professionals who need to get out of their heads and into their bodies
→ Anyone who has Googled "things to do this weekend" and felt completely uninspired

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT TO EXPECT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Private transport from NYC. A guided hike with structured pauses and real conversation. Lunch together. A vineyard stop to breathe, decompress, and celebrate making it through something hard.

Every trip ends with a follow-up email from our facilitator — reflection prompts, resources, and an invitation to stay connected with the community.

A NOTE ON SAFETY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A short intake form is required for all participants. This is reviewed confidentially by our licensed therapist facilitator before your spot is confirmed. We do this because we take the quality of the experience seriously — and because some people need a different kind of support than we offer. We'll always tell you honestly if that's the case.

We'll see you on the trail. 🌿
