Meet Your Trail Guide

Hi, I’m Chris, and I believe every trail we walk is preparing us for something we don’t yet understand.

My story isn’t unique—it’s probably similar to yours. I spent years climbing the wrong mountains, mistaking elevation for evolution, achievement for fulfillment. I had the career, the accolades, the picture-perfect life that looked successful from the outside but felt hollow within.

Then, during a particularly dark period—a convergence of burnout, divorce, and my mother’s death—I found myself on a trail I’d hiked a hundred times before. But this time, something was different. This time, I actually listened.

The trail spoke to me in metaphors I couldn’t ignore:

  • The steep climb that nearly broke me mirrored my resistance to life changes
  • The false summit taught me about premature celebration and deeper patience
  • The unexpected storm showed me I was more resilient than I knew
  • The vista at the top revealed that perspective changes everything

That day, I realized that nature had been teaching me all along—I just hadn’t been present enough to receive the lessons.

Why I’m Here — And Why It Matters

I’m someone who discovered that the most profound life answers aren’t found in boardrooms or therapy offices—they’re written in the winding paths of mountain trails and whispered through rustling leaves. After years of feeling disconnected despite “having it all,” I found my way back to myself through intentional time in nature, where every uphill climb taught me about resilience, every vista showed me perspective, and every trail junction reminded me that we always have choices.

I help soul-searching professionals, life transition navigators, and emerging leaders who feel the call of something deeper—those who know that true transformation doesn’t come from another self-help book but from reconnecting with the wisdom that nature has been teaching us all along. If you’ve ever stood at a life crossroads feeling as lost as a hiker without a compass, or if you sense that your next breakthrough is waiting not in your comfort zone but on an unexplored trail, I’m here to guide you.

Where Ancient Trail Wisdom Meets Modern Transformation

Beyond Traditional Coaching While others talk about change in office chairs, we embody it on mountain trails. Your body knows things your mind hasn’t figured out yet.

More Than Just Hiking This isn’t fitness disguised as therapy. Every trail becomes a mirror, every obstacle a teacher, every summit a new perspective on what’s possible.

Deeper Than Surface Solutions We don’t just help you feel better for a weekend. We reconnect you with natural rhythms and wisdom that create lasting transformation.
