Hey, I’m Collin!
My mission is to help nature lovers empower themselves to experience the magic that gets drained from everyday life. Through Enchanted Walks, Backpacking, Sacred Movement, and Mystical Practices, I help you develop the self-confidence and practical tools needed to face any challenge with trust and curiosity.

“WildWood Magic: A Guide to Walking as a Sacred Path is amazing!!! I had the pleasure of working with Collin a year ago and she taught me soooo much!!!!
I don’t always take the best notes so having so much of her teachings written in a book is awesome! I appreciated her sharing her personal story as well as sharing her sacred path! I could say so much but I’ll end with, Just Buy This Book….you won’t regret it!” -L.C.
