About Us
"You can create a life that you enjoy and are proud of."
Kristen C Calhoun, Certified Life Coach,
There are so many of us that don't fit into any particular "box." We must fight and claw to unlearn what we have been taught and carve out our own place in society. So often, this leaves us battered and bruised. Sometimes, we are not exposed to or have access to the support and the skills necessary to thrive, so we end up living lives of quiet desperation. Sadly, many of us don't make it at all. So many of us have lost loved ones in this struggle. I am one of those people. I have been battling this all of my life, striving to make my way in this world and to be a woman of substance. I want to live a life I am proud of- a life that works for me.
I have gathered so many skills, practices, and amazing people over the last 30 years. I created a process to pass on everything that I have learned to anyone that wants it. I am privileged to teach this in the most beautiful places I know.
Healing, recovery, and finding our place in the world can be exhausting and painful. However, it can be beautiful and inspiring AS WELL!
Chandler Hill, MS, LPCLicensed Professional Counselor | Wilderness Retreat Facilitator
​
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for integrating mental health support with nature-based healing, I specialize in helping individuals navigate recovery, strengthen their emotional resilience, and discover a deeper sense of purpose. I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journeys to mental well-being, whether they are navigating life transitions, overcoming trauma, or seeking personal growth.Through immersive, experiential retreats, participants are given the opportunity to step away from the distractions and obligations of everyday life, reconnecting with emotions that are often blocked or disconnected. These retreats create space for deeper self-reflection and healing, allowing individuals to explore and process in ways that promote safety, presence, and emotional balance. My approach combines practical therapeutic techniques with experiential learning, empowering participants to develop new coping skills, restore their sense of wonder, and ultimately thrive in their recovery.I am committed to supporting individuals not only through their challenges but also as they prepare to reintegrate into their daily lives with clarity, confidence, and ownership over their recovery. By incorporating group discussions, experiential therapeutic activities, and mindfulness practices, my goal is to help you evolve your recovery into something sustainable—an experience that goes beyond survival to true flourishing.If you're ready to unlock new perspectives, tap into your full potential, and take your mental health to the next level, I’m here to walk with you on that transformative journey.
Experience:
Kristen Calhoun has been a mentor to me since early 2021. Her practices for inspiration and motivation exhibit patience, kindness, compassion, and empathy. I’ve always gone to Kristen and received at a minimum; active listening plus a safe space for emotions and thoughts, and, Kristen has insight and wisdom for every topic I’ve brought to her. She inspires me to maintain sobriety. She leads by example, and is the first professional to offer sober activities outside of “the rooms” while still celebrating their successes and encouraging attendance and attentiveness to the program. Kristen has been a shining light in my life, and I can always count on her when things get dark. I would emphatically recommend Kristen to anyone (in recovery or not) who needs sunshine in their life, and those that want to continue to elevate their existence. I am eternally grateful for meeting Kristen, and to have her help navigating this thing called life.

Kristen is an amazing life coach. She actually listens and is equal parts support and challenge. She pushes you to be the best version of yourself. She makes you feel comfortable confronting the parts of you that are difficult to address an helps you come up with ideas and tactics to tackle the really hard things. She is the most supportive person I have ever known and also direct in a very gentle manner. I am so grateful to have her advice and professional skills in my life! they help me on a daily basis.
