Hi, Iām Christie.
I am a twin mama, mental health therapist, and lover of the outdoors.
When I became a mom, I wondered what place outdoor adventures would have in my life. I soon discovered that motherhood would look different on me than some of the classic examples I've witnessed--and that's OK. Motherhood looks different on each one of us mamas, and as soon as we can give ourselves permission to embody our true selves, we AND our kiddos thrive.
Rather than giving up the parts of me that bring me to life, I made the decision to harness my experiences as a backpacking guide and nature-based therapist, and take my little ones on hikes and adventures.
I am a firm believer that parenthood and outdoor adventure are not mutually exclusive. If you are anything like me, getting outside helps you show up as an even better parent for your little ones!
My goal is to give mamas (especially twin mamas) permission to go after their BIG adventures, break through the barriers telling them they can't, and find ways to get outside and adventure with their littles!
I hope that everything you find here will inspire you to get out there with your little ones and make some unforgettable memories.
