About this Service

Some days the hardest part isn't the walk itself, it's having a reason to leave the house. Tag Along is built for that. We walk, we talk about whatever's actually on your mind, and if you want, we close the session with twenty minutes of sketching or painting together. No agenda, no correction, just movement and company that meets you where you are.

What to expect: a 60-minute session, mostly outdoors, weather permitting. No exercises assigned, nothing tracked, just movement and presence. This isn't physical therapy, a fitness program, or art therapy. I'm not a licensed practitioner in any of those, just a steady presence who happens to like all three.

Hours: generally available weekday mornings and early afternoons, with some weekend flexibility. Most people book once or twice a week, though it's fine to start with just one and see how it feels.

About this Lister

I grew up tagging along behind someone in my family who walked faster and farther than I ever could keep up with as a kid. She did things on her own rather than wait for anyone else, and she taught me by example rather than instruction, you learned by paying attention, not by being told. That's where my belief in this work comes from: the body is something you actively partner with, and staying in motion takes accountability, which is almost always easier with someone alongside you than alone. Tag Along is named for that, literally trying to keep up with someone who refuses to stop moving, and the role I want to play for someone else now.

Background and Expertise

I'm just starting Tag Along formally, but the foundation comes from years of work where reliability and presence were the whole job: substitute teaching in NYC classrooms, caring for clients' dogs through Rover, hosting guests in my home. I don't have a formal caregiving credential because this isn't medical care, it's companionship built on consistency. References available from my existing work.
