About Me
I’m Dr. Moire Stevenson (pronounced Moy-ra), a clinical psychologist and ecotherapist in Montreal, Quebec, with 15 years of clinical experience. A lifelong nature lover, I am passionate about helping people live fuller, more meaningful lives.
I am the founder and director of Mindfulness Outdoors, and I work as a Pediatric Psychologist at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology (Research and Intervention) from the Université de Montréal (2015) and a Combined Honours degree in Biology and Biochemistry from Dalhousie University.
In 2021, I brought together my curiosity about the natural world and the human mind by creating Mindfulness Outdoors, a social enterprise offering Walk and Talk Therapy, nature-based mindfulness programs and community events. Find out more here.
I am a recognized Clinical Supervisor with the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ), an accredited trainer (OPQ, CPA, CCPA), and an international keynote speaker. I train therapists across Canada and internationally in ACT in nature, ecotherapy, and ACT and play therapy. See here for upcoming training.

What Clinicians Say About My Training
“Moire has a knack for creating a rich learning experience. She provides her training with an ease of instruction and environment that encourages discussion and questions. [...] She created a two day training event in the city that felt more like a retreat, bringing all participants in person or online, into a safe space of connection.”
S.D., ACT in Nature Hybrid Training
“I travelled from Minnesota to attend this retreat and it exceeded my expectations. Gorgeous setting, well-organized presentation, Moire is a great teacher, she included tons of useful information, fostered a supportive environment, and created an all-around memorable experience. Well worth the trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat!”
S.T., ACT in Nature Retreat
“Moire Stevenson offers a practical and valuable training that effectively pairs mental health with nature. I strongly recommend this training for practitioners looking to equip their patients with easily accessible tools to improve their well-being. Learning to integrate ACT in an outdoor setting has been a game-changer.”
R.D., ACT in Nature
“It was a wonderful weekend and a training packed with great information I use almost daily in my practice. Well worth the trip! My only complaint: It was too short!”
W.C., ACT in Nature
“J’ai le plus apprécié voir comment appliquer les techniques tout au long de la formation. Très concret et bien illustrée d’exemples factuels.”
