UNCONVENTIONAL
A JOURNEY OFF A BEATEN PATH
I’m Doug Essig, and Healing Hobbies Jax wasn’t born in an office. I started in finance and sales, checking all the right boxes, but something was missing. It wasn’t until I led whitewater rafting trips on the Colorado River that I saw the power of movement, nature, and real connection. Out there, away from the noise, people opened up in ways they never had before. That’s when I knew healing doesn’t have to happen in a chair. It happens where we feel most alive.
CONNECTION THAT FUELS GROWTH
Healing isn’t about following a script. It’s about breaking routine, getting out of your head, and reconnecting with what matters. The right environment changes everything. Walking on the beach, biking through the trees, or just stepping outside to breathe clears the way for clarity and change. When you stop forcing solutions and start moving, the answers find you.
COACHING WITH PURPOSE
FAITH AT IT'S CORE
Healing Hobbies Jax blends movement, nature, and conversation. With a background in clinical mental health, I saw how traditional settings don’t work for everyone. I felt called to take healing outdoors, where real conversations flow naturally. We want you to gain tools to move forward, not rely on us for the next 20 years. This is about autonomy, growth, and learning to trust yourself again.
FAITH AT THE CORE
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, uncertain, and searching for more. Through faith and intention, I found clarity and purpose. Now, I’m here to walk with you as you break through barriers and uncover a life filled with peace and power.
Join me, Let’s walk this journey together and unlock the peace, joy, and purpose waiting for you.

HOW THIS WILL BENEFIT YOU
Faith
Faith steadies us when life feels unpredictable. It helps us let go of control, find clarity, and trust that growth is still happening.
Movement
Emotion is unlocked with motion. The brain works best when the body moves, helping us release tension and build lasting strength.
Science
Research shows movement, sunlight, and open conversation reduce stress and support emotional regulation. Healing happens when the body and mind work together.
Nature
Nature reminds us that beauty and imperfection can coexist. It helps us slow down, breathe deeper, and find calm through simplicity.
