Tired of feeling... 

  • stuck in your head, stressed out, and weighed down by the pace and complexity of life?
  • disconnected from yourself, your inner wisdom, and intuition?
  • like you could really use some nourishment and support, but don't know how to get it?
  • isolated in your love and care for all living beings?
  • like you are missing out on the juice of life?

You are not alone. 

As a woman, you are designed to be deeply connected to the nourishing, grounding, and feminine energy of mama Earth. Your natural state is to be present, joyful, and in relationship with the wild animals, plants, elements, and cycles around you. When you reclaim this birthright and plug back in, magic happens! ​
  • Your nervous system calms and you develop the capacity to be deeply present
  • You begin to fully inhabit your animal body, which allows you to feel vibrantly alive, sensual, and wild
  • You experience a strong sense of belonging to and being held by mama Earth
  • You get to experience child-like wonder as you connect with the critters, plants, and fungi around you

Let me support you!

The simple yet powerful nature-based practices I teach will transform your life! Through my classes and programs, I will support you in cultivating a deep relationship with the wild world around you and the wild feminine within you. What I teach extends far beyond recreating in or learning about nature. Whether you live in a city, in a suburb or in the country, what I teach is relevant and applicable to you.

Hi, I'm Collette and I, too, am a nature-loving woman.

My mission is to support people, nature-loving women in particular, to reclaim their birthright to be deeply connected with the lands, waters, and wild beings they share time and space with. I believe that the systematic cutting off of humanity from the rest of nature is a crime that is having dire consequences for all of us and the time for reparations and re-connection is now.
I have been trained in the life-changing deep nature connection practices by internationally-renowned tracker and mentor, Jon Young, whose teachings come from connected indigenous cultures and elders from around the world. I have learned, lived and taught these practices since 2011. I also have 30 years of professional experience working as an advocate on behalf of wild places and wildlife. I am currently an executive director of a small conservation non-profit in Southern Oregon.

Testimonials

"There was a lot of information that day, useful and fascinating- but the main gift I received- and I experience on a regular basis now- is my own connection as a living creature on this planet with the rest of life.  As I write- my words feel clumsy and awkward.  Not expressing the subtlety and nuance that studying nature connection with Collette has brought to my life...  but then, maybe that is as it should be.  Awakening Wild is just that.  It opens the part of us that has existed from the beginning.  Before words." D.N.
​"I am a hiker, biker, surfer, camper, and gardener and spend a lot of time in nature and already felt connected...or thought I did. Collette is taking me to a whole new level I never thought possible. Nature lovers and anyone else who wants to deepen their awareness of and connection to nature, I highly recommend Awakening Wild." D.S.
"Collette's love of the natural world and knowledge of the trails and surrounding area always made my time spent with her unique and exciting. I loved the relaxed peaceful feeling I was left with afterwards and it put me in touch with a way of life that is all too easily forgotten in our busy world; one that prioritizes patience, awareness, and self-kindness." R.S.
"Being introduced to nature connection with Collette I became more aware of the birds and wild creatures around me that I had not noticed before. Listening and being present through the core practices and experiential experiences awakened my senses to a deep wonder within myself." F.B.
"Thank you Collette, for offering this work.  I am grateful for it everyday.  And I have so enjoyed you as my guide.  I LOVE your humor, empathy, authenticity, and endless enthusiasm for all of life, and for this planet in particular...  we are so lucky to have you!!" N.D.
