- Healing paddles: Guided kayak trips on local waterways like the Hudson River & Erie Canal. These serene excursions are suitable for all skill levels & are designed to provide a calming, meditative experience. Immersing oneself in nature heals us down to a molecular level creating the bits of happiness that make us remember...... "the whole point"
- Bring Nothing: We Provide (1)Kayaks (2)Life Vests (3)Waterproof Bags (4)Water (5)Safey Instruction before Kayaking Sessions -all participants agree
- Dog-friendly trips: Kayaking trips where friends can bring their own well-behaved dogs or interact with our therapy dogs. The presence of dogs can reduce stress and facilitate social interaction. And... they just love you no matter what.
- Support circles: Small-group, post-paddling sessions with iced tea :) Sit by the fire with the doggos for a post-paddle decompression session.
Our Mission
Join us as we paddle forward, one stroke at a time, toward a place of peace and recovery. Our aim is to combine these powerful forces: NATURE, kayaking, canine & human companionship. We're creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Whether it's the simple act of floating on the water, feeling the sun on your face, or the quiet comfort of a paw resting on your lap, these moments can be monumental steps on the journey toward healing and strength.

A Note from Ashley "Woof! Woof woof! 'Hi there! I'm Ashley and My human says I'm the inspiration for this whole thing, and I guess she's right. All I know is that being on the water with her makes me happy, or maybe just makes her happy, but it makes me happy that she's happy, or maybe she's happy cause she thinks it makes me happy? - and I get lots of treats. If we can help other humans feel happy too, then that's the best job in the world. I'll see you on the water!"
