The Wild Forge

Stop trying to think your way into a new life. Live your way into a new identity.

Become the person you want to be and know you're capable of — and leave with proof that you are.

​

Through 1:1 coaching in the wild, you'll walk away with:

• Real wilderness skills: fire, shelter, water, navigation and tracking

• Confidence that holds under pressure, because you've already tested it in the real world

• A chosen identity you now embody, and a track record of evidence that you're living it

• Calm in the face of fear and uncertainty

• A mentor in your corner who accepts you as you are and helps you become who you said you wanted to be

Why it works

Mindset work asks you to believe something new about yourself, without any evidence to support it. Your subconscious doesn't update your identity because of what you think. It updates because of what you've lived.

​

Transformation doesn’t happen by changing your thoughts—it requires changing your experiences.

This isn't talk therapy. We don't just talk about who you want to become. We go out together to put you in experiences that give you opportunities to embody those new ways of being.

​

I know this firsthand, because I have lived it. I've spent years using the wild as a tool for transformation both for myself and for others. 

Wild Forge coaching helps you build yourself, at a pace that fits you with a guide who remembers what it's like to be a beginner- and who manages the risks so you can focus on the task at hand.

Two Mentors

In Wild Forge, you get two mentors.

The wild gives you honest feedback. The fire catches or it doesn't. Your shelter keeps you dry or it doesn't. The forest doesn't care about your title or your story, so what you prove out there, your subconscious believes.

​

I give you everything around it. Challenges designed for who you're becoming. A place where you can fail, laugh and still belong. And help turning what happened out there into how you live back home.

​

The wild tells you the truth. I help you listen, and figure out what to do with it.

What it feels like to work with me

Transformation takes both belonging and challenge. You get both.

​

I meet you where you are. We all start out as beginners. I remember what it is like to be a beginner. I know what it is like to feel excluded, scared, or like the 'weird one.' I want you to bring your real beautiful, messy self. Nothing you show me will make me think less of you.

​

You learn and practice skills and then you get to go tackle challenges. If you fail? You learn. If you succeed? You learn. Either way, you win. 

​

I'll push you when you need it- in the ways that work best for you.  When you start talking yourself out of something, I'll notice, and we'll investigate. You'll start figuring out when your body is telling you it's time to stop, and when your fears are holding you back. You'll start to feel the difference between anxiety and intuition. 

​

You'll get the truth, with care. Kind, honest feedback, not just what you want to hear.

​

Here, you can push your edges knowing that there's someone here who has your back. 

How we do it

Your Invitation to Your True Self

This is more than skill-building. It is definitely not talk therapy. This is identity alchemy.

You're descended from people who lived by their wits and thrived in wild places. Capability in nature feels different than competence in civilization—wilder, more alive, more essentially you.

Who you have always wanted to be is still in there, waiting.
