Hi, I’m Tate. I found true belonging in the wilderness, and I’d like to help others do the same. After a childhood of not really feeling like I “fit in,” I was lucky enough to find myself on a month-long wilderness trip in Wyoming before my senior year of high school. Coming from Alabama, I had never seen anything like the Rocky Mountains. Backpacking for the first time and spending many nights in a tent under the stars, I could feel my soul exhale, and I knew I was “home.”
I can’t imagine not having had that experience, as it changed the trajectory of my life. Since then, I’ve always sought out wilderness. I participated in a NOLS course, became a thru-hiker (Colorado Trail) and an ultrarunner, and have trekked through the Himalayas. My whole being thrives in the backcountry, especially when life is simplified to eat, sleep, and walk. I discovered wonder, joy, and freedom. I knew I had found my calling. Trees, birds, wildness, and beauty—I felt God within me, mirrored from the peaks, valleys, and fields of wildflowers.
I’ve been cultivating a deeper relationship with the natural world and my own connection with nature. After many years of moving through the mountains, I found myself wanting to share this gift of wilderness and nature connection with others. This is how Wilderness Immersions NW emerged.
I am a certified Nature-Connected Coach through the Earth-Based Institute. I am also certified in several modalities of Energy Medicine, including being a Reiki Master and Medium. I find that the intersection of the healing arts, spirituality, and nature connection is key to personal alignment and connection with oneself and others. It is my honor to share these offerings with my community.
I live in Eugene, Oregon, with my husband, two kids, and our doodles.
