Wild Wisdom Coaching is dedicated to helping you fully live life and achieve your goals through personalized coaching. Based in Pine, Colorado, I offer tailored coaching sessions designed to meet your unique needs. Whether you are seeking purposeful career growth, personal growth, or improved relationships, I am here to guide you on your journey. Utilizing proven strategies grounded in brain science, change process theories, and nature-informed wisdom, you will gain the essential tools to navigate life's challenges and foster spiritual growth.
As a certified Nature-Connected Coach (NCC), I provide a trusting, deeply listening, and supportive presence that encourages you to become your purpose-connected, authentic self. While not psychotherapy, Nature Connected Coaching can be a deeply transformational coaching experience.
Through the Earth Based Institute's (EBI) life coaching program, I have been trained in:
- International Coaching Federation Coaching Competencies and best practices
- Nature-Connecting Mindfulness Practices
- Nature-based and research-based stages of change and personal transformation maps & models
- Brain and change
- Gestalt

- Guiding through Grief and Loss
- Long-term coaching for sustainable change
- Transformational Wilderness Guiding

I am also a certified Ceremony and Rites of Passage facilitator, capable of helping you create a culturally relevant, respectful, and unique personal rites of passage ceremony. I can support you through your life's turning points as a neutral witness who listens deeply, asks important questions, and mirrors your lived experience. Together, we co-create a personally relevant ceremony to mark your new way of being in the world.
A little more about me:
My own path has led me to uncover treasures hidden within the experiences of transformational change. Although change can be painful—filled with fear of the unknown and the ache of loss and grief—I trust the process of transformation itself, as it reflects the cyclical beauty of the natural world and those who have forged paths before me. My continued healing journey has helped me identify and transform internalized messages such as: "you are too much", "you are not enough", "you are not worthy", and "you are alone." Unexamined, these messages can halt our progress and disconnect us from our most treasured, interconnected, and abiding Self.
Part of my healing journey includes:
- Completing Fr. Thomas Keating's Spiritual Journey Series at Contemplative Outreach of Colorado in 2013.
- Graduating from the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program as a Spiritual Director in 2017.
- Graduating from the Bovine School of Improv (so much FUN!)
- Working a 10-year career in the international non-profit sector, initially as the founder of Into Your Hands-Africa (now Rooted Africa), followed by roles as Executive Director for AfricAid and Africa Network for Animal Welfare (ANAW-USA). I hold a Master's in Non-Profit Management from Regis University.
