I am passionate about helping others connect with nature. Immersion in cold water and natural spaces has been transformative for my own well-being, especially after the loss of my daughter in 2011.

The following year, I survived a serious climbing accident in Utah, resulting in a broken back and ribs. After recovering in Colorado, I returned to climbing and remain dedicated to the sport today.

Throughout these challenges, nature has been central to my recovery, offering perspective and resilience even in the most difficult times.

I now share my story and expertise as a cold-water coach, delivering keynote speeches to events, corporate clients, and charities.
