A FREE SELF-GUIDED NATURE RETREAT FOR HEALING FROM SELF-ABANDONMENT
CRAFT YOUR RETREAT
Self-Guided Backcountry Retreat
A complete guide for crafting your own healing retreat so that you can come home to yourself through nature, stillness, and soul connection.
You’ve spent so long taking care of everyone else, but it’s come at a cost–and your body feels it.
Quietly holding it all together, yet your body is buzzing inside. Reading the room, muscles tight in your neck and shoulders as you prepare yourself to become what others need…
Maybe you’ve reached a point where even rest feels foreign. You crave stillness and wish the world could stop for a moment so you can catch your breath, yet the moment you slow down, your mind floods with noise.
You long to be situated deep in your soul, but aren’t sure how to find your way through the noise.
This is for you, friend.
This 1-2 day immersive retreat invites you to step into nature and rest deep within yourself.
Whether you spend a weekend backpacking under the stars or a single day walking along quiet trails, you’ll be guided through a deeply restorative process of reconnection.
You’ve kept your fire burning for everyone but yourself…but now it’s your turn.

For the one who’s ready to stop abandoning themselves.
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker or camper to do this.
You only need the willingness to listen — to your body, your breath, and the wild places that are guiding you back to who you are.
This retreat is for anyone who’s ever said:
“I’ve lost touch with myself.”
“I don’t know how to rest.”
“I’m tired of being strong all the time.”
If you are longing for a reset where you can finally get back in touch with the real you– this is for you.
Hi, I’m Christie
I know what it feels like to grow up in chaos and call it normal.
Narcissism, addiction, and emotional volatility shaped how I moved through the world and how I disconnected from myself just to get through.
My trauma was destroying my relationships and I had no idea. I tried everything–being less sensitive or emotional, testing out the most highly revered communication skills, and trying to just “behave better.”
I was so incredibly discouraged. Nothing was bringing the breakthrough my soul was desperate for. I thought I was too broken for love and was getting ready to give up on myself and my dream to be married and have a family.
It wasn’t until someone was able to identify trauma as the key issue coming between me and my partner that a whole path of healing unfolded before me. Suddenly there was movement and I had a path to walk that brought practical shifts in my relationships.
Over time, I found myself gravitating to big adventures and while it started as pushing myself to my limits (hello survival skills!) it ended up becoming my doorway to healing.
See, the thing was, I wasn’t defective– I was just fighting the wrong battles.
Now I walk alongside people like you and help them get to the root of what’s happening in their relationship so they can discover deep, real healing.
Because friend, you are not defective. Love is waiting for you. We just need to find the right path for you.
I’m here to be that person who will step into the muck with you, and together we will put one foot in front of the other shedding what no longer serves you and inviting back to you the safety, joy, and connection your soul longs for.
