The Mission

My mission is to create a free, supportive community through backpacking retreats, women’s camping retreats, and group hikes where anyone can show up exactly as they are and still be met with competence, patience, and respect.

This is for the woman who has been carrying everyone else.

This is for the person rebuilding after a breakup.

This is for the woman who has been strong for so long, but still wants to feel brave.

And it is not just about the outdoors.

It is about remembering your own power.

At the heart of it is a simple truth: no one is coming to save you. You must save yourself.

I want every person who joins to leave feeling powerful, capable, and deeply supported, with real friends, real confidence, and a stronger version of themselves.

The Timeline

2023

The year I stopped “waiting for a partner” and started packing my own backpack

I started solo hiking as much as I could
I started traveling to other countries solo

2024

Big miles, bigger mountains

I took my first steps from day hikes into overnights.
I learned the unglamorous stuff fast: blisters, heavy packs, and figuring it out anyway.
I chased high peaks across Southern California, including San Gorgonio, San Bernardino, and Cucamonga.
Every trip added one more thing to my pack: strength, grit, and “I can do hard things” confidence.

2025

From "hiker" to "backpacker"

I knocked out 10 solo backpacking trips (and caught the bug for good).
Conquered multi-day backpacking trips (from 2-nighters to 4-nighters!)

2025

Cactus to Clouds (confidence, forged)

I took on Cactus to Clouds: starting in the Palm Springs desert and climbing all the way into the high elevations of Mt. San Jacinto.
This route is famous for a reason: massive elevation gain, wild temperature swings, and the kind of mental grit where you keep moving even when every part of you wants to quit.
I finished it, and something clicked: I can do hard things… and I can teach other women to believe that too.

2025

From "solo" to "hello"

I hosted my first group hike to Mt. Islip.
Strangers became friends between snack breaks and switchbacks, and I knew I had found what I was meant to build.

2025

First Sisterhood retreat (the moment it became real)

I hosted my very first Sisterhood retreat.
I got to watch 9 women finish their first backpacking trip.
The kind of proud, teary, “I DID THAT” energy you carry home for the rest of your life.

2026

A bigger season of growth (more miles, more magic)

I have completed even more solo backpacking trips.
Hosted my second Women's retreat
I am chasing big landscapes through solo travel across the US.
I plan to live part-time in my car, bouncing between national parks, and collecting proof that freedom can look like a packed trunk and a trailhead sunrise.

Where I'm Headed

I'm bringing as many people with me as I can. From the timeline that brought me here, I know this is how it happens:

You start with one hike where you do not have to be “the experienced one.”
You learn the basics without being talked down to.
You realize your body can do more than you were taught to believe.
You take up space on the trail, in the group, and in your own life.

I make saying yes easier with clear guidance, shared knowledge, and community, so the barriers do not get to decide your story. So you can have the moment at the summit where you realize you did not need permission. You just needed a first step, and people who would not let you quit on yourself.

This is our power in the most practical form:

Showing up.

Learning.

Trying.

Coming back.

Choosing yourself again.
