I am originally a city girl from the Detroit suburbs-like the only pine trees I was around was the one in my living room on Christmas. This photo of me is of the Christmas tree my son and I chopped down in the mountains. Since moving to Colorado in 2009, I slowly began to become more comfortable being outdoors by starting out with beginner hikes.

After my divorce, I sought healing and understanding and it took a couple years to find what worked for me. I finally found that spending time in nature helped me not only heal, but brought new perspective and peace. I believe that the mind, body and spirit are connected. Be intentional and let me guide you to the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and take some deep breaths.

I want to encourage you to get out and explore nature. Maybe it's just a time to rest your mind or you want to experience what the mountain air and sights of West can do for your heart.

I'm beyond excited to meet and welcome you to your adventure.
