about Caroline
MS, Nutrition
Health Coach | Hiking Guide | ADHD Mentor
Hi! I’m Caroline. I live in Washington’s Cascade Mountains with my adventure partner David and our speckled dog Lily.
I wasn’t always an outdoorsy person, but for many years I felt like something was missing in my life. In 2014, after struggling with substance abuse and an eating disorder for more than a decade, I left my life in downtown Seattle to backpack along the Pacific Crest Trail for 5 months. The journey was exactly what I needed—I was forever changed.
From that new place of connection and purpose, I moved to a tiny town way up the mountains, started guiding women’s hiking trips, and began teaching women how to harness the healing power of nature.
In 2023, at the age of 39, I discovered that I have ADHD. It was a total surprise, but also made perfect sense looking back at my path and my struggles in life. Since then I’ve been researching strategies in nutrition and nature to help women with ADHD feed their brain, balance their nervous system, manage their symptoms, and feel their best.
I want you to know that you belong in nature, and that you deserve a life that feels good in body, mind, and spirit. I’m here to help you discover you what’s possible!
Questions for me or curious about working together? I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch with me here.
