“I feel like relationships are built quicker and potentially deeper when you are outside – especially with something like a hike. You go through so much with a person – ups and downs…literally… – and you are put out of your comfort zone and that always brings people closer together.” – Heidi Nixon

Heidi Nixon is building her skills in the field of therapeutic recreation and is also a skier, fly fisher, and a stoked outdoor enthusiast. This is such a fun episode!
