Awakening in Nature Tour Reviews

My hiking experience with Trey was beyond my expectations! There were opportunities to pause and meditate. This allowed for a deeper awareness for the beauty of what nature offers us and how we are connected to it and to each other. Trey is very knowledgeable and has many talents to offer. This experience was very heart opening and magical for me! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING you helped me more than you know! ~ Tomekia️

Great experience in nature with Trey. He is very connected with the mountains! ~ Barbara

It was very enjoyable spending time with Trey! His presence is very calming and comforting. He allows you to make the experience your own and enjoy the beauty of nature while giving guidance as to how to quiet your mind to best enjoy the experience. Overall, it was definitely the most I’ve felt connected to nature. Tre even offered to do a quick reiki session on my fiancé and I while we were sitting on a rock meditating! He was great. I would recommend doing this experience if you are wanting to see the true beauty of Asheville while finding ways to feel more connected to nature and learn how to quiet your mind. It was seriously a one of a kind experience. ~ Liv

A beautiful experience. Trey was a wonderful leader spiritually and through the hike. I can’t wait to read your book! ~ Harper

Trey was a Knowledgeable host and the experience was like catching up with an old friend. We chatted on the way up to the top of the mountain about life. Trey made me feel seen, heard, understood & valued. Being that it was only me I was able to add a reiki session to the hike and that was an awesome experience. I definitely recommend booking his hikes that include a reiki session. So worth it So book now & thank Trey later ~ Katisha

Trey has such a calm spirit and you can feel his love for nature. I feel like I learned so much. Very good experience! Thank you again for a great experience! We appreciate you!! ~ Mercedes

I cannot express how wonderful this experience was! What a deepening in my connection to nature. Nothing beat the Mountain View’s, whipping winds and overall mood! My word, it was a dream! Trey was an excellent guide who held space wonderfully: we stopped often to touch plants, meditate, and observe Mother Nature. So many thanks Trey. Your offering is top tier for sure and a feeling reference point I will come back to often. ~ Udee

Trey has such a lovely spirit and he really molded the hike to our needs. He helped us really slow down and enjoy the beauty that was all around us while tuning into what was happening within us. We will definitely book with him next time we’re in Asheville. Thank you so much for your presence and taking the time to guide us. You were wonderful. ~ Jordan

A zen experience in a gorgeous place, connecting with peace and splendor. Highly recommend it. it was supreme! so zen! a very special spot, and I loved the sound of the wind. thank you so much! ~ Rebecca

I initially sought this experience to practice mindfulness meditation with someone who could explain it to me in real time. I ended up getting more than just that. Talking to Trey was incredibly thought-provoking and deepened my sense of connection to the world. I gained a beautiful new lens to life which is a gift that is priceless. I will be back next time we’re here and hope to have made a lifelong connection with an interesting, good person. ~ Maria

Trey was a wonderful host on the hike. I wanted a safe experience as a solo female hiker and that is exactly what I got. He advised me on the best directions to use to get there and then our hike was fabulous! Perfect weather and very comfortable atmosphere to enjoy nature. We took our time and even meditated for a bit. It was a great experience! Trey, thank you very much! I had a wonderful time and the views were amazing. I appreciate the time we took to meditate and practice gratitude in the moment. Best wishes as you continue on your journey in life ~ Madison

Hiking in WNC is plentiful and extraordinary. My hiking experience with Trey was elevated to GRAND and SURREAL. The place, the company, the vibe - all together - is impossible to forget, delightful to remember! I highly recommend this experience. ~ Sandy

Trey tailored the experience for our group and it turned out to be the most enjoyable group hike I have ever been on. The terrain and views were amazing. Trey's guidance added a special layer to the hike which made for an overall wonderful evening. ~ Tammarra

I had a great time hiking with Trey! He was very accommodating and kind. I felt very comfortable as a solo female hiker, and he took me to a great spot! ~ Madison

My hike with Trey was incredible and he had a lot of thoughtful wisdoms and insights to share. I left feeling happy and peaceful. As a solo female traveler, I was not worried for my safety. Great experience! ~ Sarah

I highly recommend this experience! I loved the integration of mindfulness. It absolutely enhanced the beauty of the trail Trey took our group on. Trey also provided some helpful meditation techniques as part of the experience, and was incredibly kind and communicative. ~ Hannah

Had a great time hiking with Trey! Even with the cold and rain, he made it an enjoyable experience. The time he takes for quiet pauses gave us the chance to be still and reflect on the beauty around us. We’ll def look Trey up next time we’re in Asheville. ~ Devin

This was one of the best, most memorable experiences that I've ever had on a trip. It was soooo enlightening and refreshing. Trey was so kind and knowledgeable about nature and life, in general. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this. We highly recommend this experience! Thank you so much for the experience. It's one my husband and I will never forget. ~ Raven

Booking the experience with Trey made our hike much more relaxing. He chose a beautiful hike, that was timed perfectly and reminded us we were there to enjoy an experience. We stopped along the trail to appreciate the beauty and the moment and we lingered at the top while the sun set. Had I gone on my own, I would likely have rushed through the hike missing out on so much. Trey created a calming, peaceful experience to be remembered. I will definitely plan to hike with him again when we return. ~ Kim

When we first met Trey, he set the tone of the hike and we were able to leave everything from the outside world off of the mountain. Even our daughter (19months) relaxed and remained calm during the entire duration. It felt as if we walked with a friend and time stood still as we hiked through the mountain. Trey was nothing short of amazing and provided us with much knowledge of the land around us and what to look for in a physical and mental state. As we ended our tour, he left us with knowledge of forgiveness that resonated with both of us. We took those words to heart and left the mountain with a clear head and pure heart. I would recommend this hike to everyone. It doesn’t matter the reasoning for the experience because Trey is an amazing person to have “hangout” with during that time. ~ Nykita

Energetic Healing in Nature Tour Reviews

Trey is very kind, attentive, and thoughtful. We enjoyed the hike and conversation and especially the peace that came with the session. Also the hike was in a beautiful location! Thank you for your time and positive energy, Trey! We wish you the best in your journey ~ Lou

This hike and experience exceeded our expectations and then some! The hike was perfect with 2 reiki sessions and the most spectacular sunset we have ever seen. Such a magical experience. Thank you Trey! ~ Pam

I really enjoyed my hike with Trey. It was very meditative. We took our time to really be in the moment… aware of mother earth’s gifts and connecting with her. The view of the sunset from the top was spectacular. The energy in those mountains is like no other. Pictures do not do the Blue Ridge mountains justice. They are something that must be experienced in person! If you’re in the area, definitely spend some time with Trey for a healing and grounding experience ~ Jessica

This is my second time taking a Reiki hike with Trey. Once on my own and this time with a friend. Trey has such a kind and gentle spirit and a wonderful way of reminding you of the beauty around us. Thank you. ~ Melissa

Trey was a wonderful guide and way too modest in his knowledge of the area and of energy healing. He gave great insight while trekking up the mountain and was thoughtful enough to bring a blanket, considering it was quite cold. It was a wonderful experience for my friends and I against a magnificent backdrop. I highly recommend taking the journey with Trey. ~ LaTalia

Trey was an amazing guide. Thoughtful, helpful and kind. My first time hiking a mountain and I’m glad we had him as our leader. The experience I will never forget. ~ Jaclyn

We had a healing and inspiring time during our Reiki and zen hike with Trey. This is a unique combination of Reiki and meditative walking that we highly recommend for folks looking for a physical, contemplative, and spiritual experience. We would highly recommend scheduling a nature/ zen tour with Trey if you are visiting the Asheville area. It was a time and connection with nature that we will forever cherish. Trey, we want to thank you for the restorative and contemplative walk you took us on. We truly appreciated your authenticity and thank you for sharing your embodied example and story of awakening. We look forward to reading your books and crossing paths with you again! Light & love, ~ Laura & Brian

Trey is a gentle soul who shares his love of the forest with his guests. He led us up the path, stopping at times to quietly reflect and take it in. The glorious setting included a deep blue sky, tall trees with leaves dancing in the sun and dappling the path, giant boulders and rock formations that emanated powerful energy, and a sunny meadow with lazy grazing cows. It took me away from anything day-to-day and then helped heal some of my worries with the two reiki sessions. I'm so grateful and happy to have met Trey. He helped me see new ways to understand things. I would fully recommend his enriching hike over an ordinary walk in the woods. ~ Melissa

The beauty and serenity was absolutely mind blowing! Trey was the perfect guide, extremely kind and helpful! I took my little dog Roo along and Trey did not hesitate to help me in getting Roo in his doggie backpack at the onset of the hike. So peaceful and calming, a much needed excursion for myself. 10 stars to Trey! Thank you again for a memorable excursion this afternoon! It truly was amazing! ~ Annette

My son and I had a truly magical adventure up the mountain with Trey. The hike was beautiful and Trey’s reiki sessions were powerful. This has been our favorite adventure in Asheville so far! ~ Valley

This was an amazing experience. Exactly what I needed. Reiki and the mountains. Trey is so thoughtful, knowledgeable and very talented. You will really enjoy this. It might even change your life. :) ~ Regina

We had a great time on Trey’s energetic healing hike. It was a very scenic trail with lots of huge rocks and a surprise view at the top! I enjoyed Trey’s comments as we hiked and the Reiki was a very cool experience. Extremely calming and meditative way to experience the mountains. Would recommend! ~ Alicia

Myself and two friends went on this hike with Trey and all enjoyed the experience very much. Trey was very accommodating and responsive with the booking. During the experience itself we had great conversations and a reiki session that left us all feeling very peaceful, while learning helpful meditation tips as well. Would definitely recommend! ~ Kate

Thinking About Booking This Experience? Do It! And Here are Details Why You Should: If you don’t try this while visiting Asheville, you are missing out on one of the best ways to experience the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains at A. An affordable Price (it won’t break the bank) B. Have a unique experience and possibly HEALING one energetically (who doesn’t want this?) C. Get outdoors and get some exercise that won’t kill your body or kill your entire day! (I have an autoimmune disorder and was nervous about my energy levels. Trey is not only kind and knows what he is doing. I felt comfortable and that I was in good hands the entire time. Plus, I did just fine, and I hadn’t hiked since before the pandemic). Picturesque panoramic views, nature you can soak in with all your senses, great conversation, and times to be silent. Sun-setting, chakra cleansing; It was amazing! See below if you’d care to read more of the in-depth details of my review below! Trey IS the heart of what makes Asheville! Trey accommodated kindly to a need I had and rearranged his schedule so that I could hike with him a week later (today on 3/20). You can immediately tell that Trey has extensive knowledge and care concerning the foothills of the lands he was born & raised. He takes his time with you, going at the pace that the client wishes to take, and shows nothing but respect. I felt that there was no sense of urgency on his part and that the entire trip was all about making sure that I had an enjoyable experience. Trey was able to communicate this without ever really having to say so. He is thoughtful in how he moves and glides through the trees and in conversation with you. It was important to me, being newer to the area and not knowing many people. Save the best part for last!!! The Reiki meditations are nothing short of phenomenal! If I could give Trey TEN (10) stars, I would! One on the way UP The mountain as you sit on a gorgeous, healing rock with quartz Crystal and gaze over mountain peaks. Then Trey leads you into a short meditation that even the most challenging participants ( ok ME!) could get immersed into, and rather quickly, I might add! I began to tear up as I felt sadness lifted from my body, and a sense of peace replaced it. Then to the top of the mountain, where the spectacular views are worth the hike, and it is almost time to watch as the sun begins to set. Trey offered another reiki session, and after making sure, I was warm and comfortable, he started another energy immersion. Sure enough, I experienced another transformative shift of my energy and was left feeling clear, calm, and so glad that I had booked this session with Trey. I’m proud of what I accomplished, but I know that had it not been with Trey, it may have been much more difficult for me. Trey truly is the real deal. Trey allows time for thought process and journaling. The wind had picked up a bit, and we were cold, so we decided to go ahead and head to our cars. The walk back to the car is an easy one, making it a nice feature for those that are concerned about how they will get back in the darker hours or for those that may worry about energy levels, such as me with autoimmune concerns. All in all: Trey is professional, personable, and pleasant. I would make this experience something to do again in a heartbeat, even as a budding resident. Thank you. ~ Erin

"Trey has extensive knowledge about the Blue Ridge Mountains and hiking in the Asheville area. He is also very skilled in the art of meditation and the combination of the two is a beautiful experience. Trey is kind, considerate, trustworthy, and has a calm and grounded presence. If you're looking for a guide I highly recommend him and Zen Mountain Tours." ~ Dana, NC

"Based on my experience, I recommend this tour highly and will gladly attend again. Trey was just lovely and exuded such warmth and kindness. He offers a safe, light space for anyone in his presence. The group seemed as if I knew them well before meeting them, and there was a massive exchange of beautiful energy amongst the whole group. Although the retreat was mostly silent, there has never been so much said and felt amongst a group of “strangers”. Through this tour, I have found friendship, peace, and well being all in one place. To anyone looking for a soul family, this is your tour! " ~ Amal, NC

"I was flying in from LA to spend a memorable mother daughter weekend. Neither my daughter or I have to Asheville but had heard great things. We wanted to explore the beautiful nature, yoga, massage and take in a little of the city. I contacted Trey from Zen Mountain Tours. He personalized our itinerary and provided our transportation. There is some much to see and experience in Asheville. Without Trey, it would have been exhausting and overwhelming rather than the peaceful and exhilarating vacation that it was.

The meditation was new to us and the meditation driving was amazing! I hope to incorporate mediation into my daily routine and hopefully my daughter will as well! Learned so much! With much gratitude." ~ Lori
