Hey friend! I’m Callie. I am a psychologist and Association of Nature and Forest Therapy certified guide. I am also a single mom of three children, who has found nature to be a healer and a constant friend through all of life’s difficulties. In 2016, I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, a supposed incurable autoimmune disease. For a year and half, I struggled with pain and severe emotional struggles - to the point of daily suicidal ideations.

Then, one day, I gave up. Not on life, but on trying to heal - accepting that I was always healing and believing that my body would heal when it was ready. Eventually, through this mindset shift, physical activity, attention to my nutrition, engaging in the flow of creative acts (mostly writing), and spending time in nature, I found that I healed: emotionally and physically.

Now it is my desire to rekindle the connection for others to nature, or the “more than human world” through guided walks in the forest and building a community of resources and support for those equally as interested in living this one beautiful life we get to the very best of our ability.
