I didn’t know it at the time, but my journey toward becoming a Forest Therapy Guide and Recovery Coach began over 20 years ago—when I first stepped into my own healing. Through my experience with addiction and recovery, I came to understand something sacred: nature isn’t just a backdrop to healing. It is a healing presence. A teacher. A mirror. A sanctuary.

In 2020, I became a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. I’ve been guiding walks ever since—but my relationship with the land reaches back much further. The natural world has always spoken to me. It holds wisdom, solace, and an unshakable rhythm that gently reminds us: we belong.

As a Recovery Coach (certified through CCAR), I weave in somatic tools, land-based practices, and nervous system support informed by my training in Neuro-Somatic Intelligence (NSI). I know firsthand that recovery is hard-won—but it doesn’t have to be punishing. It can be spacious. It can be slow. It can be sacred.

I walk with women who are ready to move beyond survival and into something more real—something rooted. I offer Forest Therapy walks, private nature-based sessions, group circles, and practitioner gatherings in both WG Jones State Forest and on the land I steward just outside of Centerville, Texas—The Untamed Gathering Place, a private sanctuary for embodied healing and deep reconnection.

If you’re longing to come home to yourself—to be seen, held, and heard without having to perform or prove—you are welcome here.

Recovery for the whole of who you are.

Beyond just the words, into your body, onto the land..
