ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Mindy Dow, and I am the founder of NatureMind Coaching.  As an Eco Coach, I guide people back to their balanced inner natures through connection with the outdoor world, helping coachees reach their goals and dreams using nature, body, mind, and spirit inspiration as their canvas.   

 

When I thought about affirmations that made me feel free and happy, my coaching vision came to me.  I pictured myself coaching someone like you while we were kayaking.  Then I imagined us bicycling, sitting under trees, hiking, or walking through a meadow while sharing meaningful conversation.

 

Are you someone who needs some guidance and motivation to accomplish your goals?  The environment you choose becomes your learning canvas.  Together, we meet indoors and outdoors, virtually or in person, safely connecting to what matters and will make a difference in your life.

​

According to the International Coaching Federation Guidelines, I coach using mindfulness techniques, wellness, and somatic awareness to guide you to achieve mind, body, and spirit balance in a daily routine.

Forest Trees

Testimonial For about a year, I knew that my life was stuck. I had been trying to break through barriers independently with meager results. I turned to Naturemind Coaching and found Mindy. With Mindy’s gentle, knowledgeable, and beautiful guidance, I began reconnecting with people and nature. The path led me back into nature, strolling through the forests and sitting by lakes and rivers. My soul began to warm and glow with love for nature and myself. She taught me how to meditate, embrace nature's beauty, and breathe. She went along this journey with me and rejoiced in my successes as if they were hers. She gave me powerful passages to read and reflect on, challenged my understanding of myself, and helped me see the beauty inside me I hadn’t seen before. I am forever grateful. -Elizabeth, Teacher/Designer

Exploring Nature

"I worked with Mindy in a very difficult time in my life when I often felt disconnected from the world and beauty. One time as we were working she started to describe the landscape around her - a stream, the trees, and two ducks. The ducks swam upstream and one of them stopped to feed in the middle of a rough current. The other duck stayed close by and kept watch. Later, the ducks shot past, riding the current downstream.  As I listened to Mindy describe these things I started to notice sensations in my body and my breath became more relaxed. The ducks became a whole new way of understanding my situation - that I could get nourishment from this difficult time and I was protected. I was swimming against the current now, but there was also relief and joy in riding the current of my life. This image stayed with me after the session and I was able to return to it for comfort. 

 

Mindy shared bite-sized resources and helped me integrate mindfulness practices into my busy life. Now I treasure these practices and the peace they bring me in my life."

Deer

"Mindy, I went walking in the meadow yesterday just trying to get grounded. I went the way you took me and lo and behold a deer literally ran in front of me on that path before entering the woods. I was amazed but thought of you knowing your connection to deer. 

Looking at all the different wildflowers on that path, I tried to slow down, breathe and connect. I chuckled thinking maybe it’s somewhat chaotic (over grown, wild) but so beautiful. And I need to try and remember as things don’t go my way that my chaotic life is beautiful. But I learned that from you. Thinking that way. Thank you."
