Meet Your Guide: Jillian Finkbeiner

Hi, I'm Jillian! I am an Outdoor Wellness Facilitator, and a passionate lover of nature, animals, and meaningful connection. Alongside my chocolate labs, Bowzer and Mazel, I create nature-based experiences designed to help you slow down, unplug, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

My events take place across Northeast Ohio’s most beautiful landscapes—including local parks, farms, orchards, vineyards, and community spaces throughout Lake, Geauga, and Cuyahoga counties. Every experience thoughtfully blends elements of gentle yoga, forest bathing, sound balancing, mindfulness, creativity, and seasonal living.

Core Philosophy: "Ahimsa asks us to step lightly, do no harm, and honor the relationship we have with the earth, with each other, and ourselves.
