The Andrew Taylor Show: Thriving and Surviving
Episode 20-Connecting Surfing, Whitewater Rafting, and Cultural Immersion with Clinical Therapy in Costa Rica with Mara Mueller
What does therapy look like at Pure Life Adventure? And how does field experience connect with clinical therapy? Mara Mueller, Clinical Director and Primary Therapist, joins Andrew Taylor to discuss how Pure Life combines individual and group therapy with immersive nature and cultural experiences to transform students’ lives. They explore how hands-on field activities—like surfing, whitewater rafting, and cultural immersion—work alongside clinical therapy to build resilience and healing. Mara shares the benefits of Milan Therapy in groups, while Andrew highlights the vital role of skilled field guides. Listen for inspiring stories of students overcoming challenges, returning as guides, and how outdoor sessions in nature add a unique, mindful element to the healing process.
