About Ascend Connect Venture
At Ascend Connect Venture, I offer nature walk-based programs with therapeutic elements for individuals with developmental disabilities and their caregivers. Blending supportive counselling, mindful walking, and meaningful engagement, each session is designed to support emotional regulation, build confidence, and promote overall well-being—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
With experience in developmental services since 2019 and a background in social work, I’ve witnessed how families often feel exhausted and overwhelmed. That’s why I’ve created a space where healing, connection, and growth happen naturally—through the power of guided trail walks and personalized support.
Whether you’re a caregiver looking for trusted respite or an organization seeking enriching services for your clients, I invite you to register today and experience the benefits of compassionate, nature-based care.
Join me on the trail—where each step is a chance to ascent, connect, and venture.
Exploring Hamilton’s Beautiful Trails
At Ascend Connect Venture, I bring each therapeutic session to life by exploring some of Hamilton’s most scenic and healing natural spaces. Each location is selected for its unique atmosphere, accessibility, and sensory richness, ensuring every walk is a new and supportive experience. Locations include:
• Chedoke Radial Trail – A peaceful, tree-lined trail with wide paths and lookout points.
• Bayfront Park – Ideal for waterfront walks, calming views, and open space for reflection.
• Royal Botanical Gardens Trails – Offers a mix of forest, boardwalk, and floral paths (entry fee may apply).
• Cherry Hill Gate – A stunning trail rich in wildlife, boardwalks, and shaded forest areas—great for mindfulness and sensory exploration.
• Dundas Valley Conservation Area – A more immersive nature experience with gentle inclines and forested surroundings.
• Gage Park – A central, community-loved green space with gardens and accessible walkways.
• Eramosa Karst Conservation Area – Perfect for light exploration and discovering geological features in nature.
These are just a few to list. By visiting different trails, I help participants break routine, stimulate curiosity, and reconnect with themselves and the environment—one step at a time.
