About this Retreat
Your Guides
Wild Pine Co-Founder
Somatic Practitioner
My life has always been shaped by the quiet wisdom of animals. I grew up with horses as my refuge, and later spent more than a decade in veterinary medicine as a technician, practice manager, and corporate wellness advocate supporting over 300 veterinary teams. Through that work, I learned firsthand how deeply people hurt, and how deeply they care.
Along the way, I became a trauma-aware executive coach, Reiki practitioner, licensed massage therapist, and yoga teacher, not by accident but by survival. My bodywork training includes Ayurvedic Nepali massage, a rare lineage-based modality rooted in traditional Indian medicine. My yoga studies are grounded in Ayurvedic psychology, with focused exploration of the Enneagram and Kundalini practices, allowing me to support nervous-system regulation, emotional intelligence, and embodied leadership with nuance and care.
In 2019, I landed on a piece of land on the Western Slope of Colorado that finally felt like home. That land, and the horses who came with it, became Wild Pine. Today, it is a sanctuary where people facing hardship, trauma, and transition can find safety, connection, and high-quality support without fear of being priced out of their own healing.
My work is simple:
I help people come home to themselves .... through horses, through somatics, and through the medicine of this valley I am grateful to steward.

Accommodation
Our cabin offers a warm, cozy, bohemian-inspired space designed to feel both grounding and a little bit magical. Inside, you’ll find soft textures, natural light, and plants woven throughout the space, creating a peaceful, lived-in feel that invites you to settle in right away. Every detail is intentionally curated for your stay, so it feels personal, not generic. Step outside onto the front porch and take in the quiet beauty around you. You may find yourself watching the horses move through the land or listening to the river nearby as you sip your morning coffee. The covered porch features a hot tub where you can unwind under the stars or sit in stillness as the herd moves in the distance. It’s a space to soften, to breathe, and to just be. Inside, you’ll have access to a full espresso machine and a locally stocked fridge, thoughtfully prepared with your requested essentials to make your stay feel easy and supported. This is not just a place to sleep. It’s part of the experience. A space that holds you while you rest, reflect, and reconnect.
