ARE YOU READY TO RECONNECT TO YOUR JOY?
Remember her? That joyful, grounded, open-hearted warrior? She’s still in there and ready for reconnection which we will achieve with the help of joy-infused activities, daily opportunities to get out of your comfort zone, fun, adventure, and the chance to do something you’ve never done before!

ARE YOU LOOKING TO UNWIND?
Have you been “go-go-going” -holding the world together with your own two hands and needing a respite? Ready to feel renewed and playful and open-hearted?

ARE YOU FEELING THE NEED TO RECHARGE?
Are you exhausted and tired of doing ALL THE things all the time & (maybe just maybe) have neglected to fill up your own cup?

DO YOU NEED to “DETOX” YOUR STRESS & reset your nervous system?

the long term effects of the last few years have left many of us dysregulated, struggling with the effects of trauma and unsure how to 'feel like yourself’ again!

READY TO EMBRACE AN ADVENTURE? I believe life begins at the edge of that comfort zone and the best time to see the world is RIGHT NOW!

Nodding yes? if so, THIS #WELLNESSADVENTURE IS FOR YOU!

LET’s UNLOCK YOUR DREAMS

ALOHA! NAMASTE! HI YALL! I'm Jamie and am SO excited to connect and adventure with you and link arms for a life changing memory filled travel experience. I look forward to connecting with you on a deep and meaningful level!

In case you are new to my energy space; a bit about me. I am newly relocated to beautiful Vermont (from beautiful Oregon) where I live with my little rescue zoo of fur-babies. I am an outdoor advocate and enthusiast and love adventuring on the water and in the wild! I am passionate about empowering women in my career as a lifestyle & wellness coach. I spent 12+ years working in public education as a school counselor and 20+ in hospitality before taking a leap of faith in 2013 to start my own wellness brand and coach OTHERS in their life’s goals, dreams and wellness pursuits! It’s my greatest joy and purpose in life to help others find theirs —while also empowering each of us to leave EVERY encounter in our communities (and greater world) better than we found it.

Some of the ‘expertise’ I weave as offerings into these wellness adventures are sourced from my lifelong love of learning! I am a RYT 400, certified in Yoga Nidra, have my masters in School Counseling, am a certified life coach and personal trainer. I have extensive experience facilitating group experiences as a former ropes course facilitator, outdoor recreation camp leader, outdoor adventure guide for the city of Eugene and leading YogaCalm workshops. I am also in pursuit of my NLP certification currently.

As the founder & CEO of my brand, ROOTS & WINGS WELLNESS, I’ve discovered one of my greatest passions in mentoring other entrepreneurs in building the life of their dreams, achieving freedom and making an impact on the world. I am committed to helping women, men and families live healthier and more fulfilling lives; I strive to make fitness fun for all, nutrition simple and educate on the importance of detoxing, eating clean and learning to be in-tune with our bodies. I'm passionate about emotional wellness, nervous system alignment and trauma informed practices. I will build off the foundational skills of gratitude, goal-setting, positive self talk/affirmations, meditation, mantras and manifesting one's dreams & desires.
I share all of this ^^ because it’s through that lens with which I curate and customize each and every travel adventure and group trip as I invite incredible individuals to join and help shape a positive group dynamic and life changing cultural experience.

I truly want to use every one of my gifts and experiences to align with YOUR desired outcome and growth from this travel opportunity to ensure its beyond your hopes and dreams in the experience you desire it to be. I'm so honored to guide you on this experience and I know we will have a beautiful time together and make forever memories.

 

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

It was an amazing trip that I’m still thinking about a year later... Looking for an adventure that is physical and spiritual, restful and challenging? This retreat was all of those things for me.

I embarked on a journey 5000 miles from home, not knowing a single soul, just knowing I needed to get away, clear my mind and find my happy place again! I am so grateful for the clarity, friendship and amazing adventure this trip brought me!
— Chara
My experience at My First Yoga Retreat in one word, was magical... I left the retreat feeling completely nourished, mind, body and soul and with many new lifelong friends.
