PRESENTED BY JUST FEET AHEAD EXPLORATION COACHING

Beautiful mountain with text encouraging you to discover new ways of being and courage through exploration coaching.

Many of us feel discouraged and overwhelmed in the face of rapid change, uncertainty, increasing disconnection, and disillusionment with oppressive high-control systems. We want to create meaningful change that restores our relationship to self, others, and the world.

Just Feet Ahead Exploration Coaching utilizes the innate power of nature, movement, creativity, and human connection to design unique, client-driven sessions that address these and other concerns without using AI, quick-fix life hacks, or the typical 50-minutes-on-a-couch approach.

Whether you want to focus on self-exploration, life transitions, decision making, physical and psychological health, resilience during these difficult times, or sustainable personal growth, it's never too late to make changes or carve a new path in life.

🌲 Learn more about how my approach differs at justfeetahead.com or reach out to [email protected] for a complimentary consultation.

In-person and virtual sessions available for ages 18+ as well as prepaid packages and sliding scale options.

AROUND TOWN

🐶🐱 High Country Humane is 183% over capacity and has an urgent need for locals to foster shelter animals. This gives the shelter more space. Plus, puppies and kittens are usually the first to get fostered!

💡⭐ Starting in May, Flagstaff will get dark-sky friendly highway lights. ADOT will switch out over 370 outdated high pressure sodium light fixtures with amber LED lights. Lights throughout I-17 and I-40 interchanges in Flagstaff will be replaced, as well as stretches of Milton Road and Route 66 near downtown.

BUSINESS HAPPENINGS

🚙☕ Flagstaff mother-son duo Ronda and Arron Stump have opened Flagstaff Mountain RV & Campground with 33 camping spots. Stop by Flagstaff Mountain Market on-site for coffee, games and local goods. Located on East Route 66 behind Muffler Magic. Open daily 8am-6pm.
