Wild Haven Sanctuary

Our Mission

Wild Haven Sanctuary exists to cultivate healing, hope, and restoration for trauma survivors through the sacred rhythms of nature, nourishment, and mindful movement—within the safety of supportive community. We co-create restorative LIFEstyles that empower individuals to rise from the grip of anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and chronic pain, and return to a life of embodied freedom, peace, and purpose.

Our Vision

We envision a world where trauma's legacy is transformed from ashes into beauty—where survivors not only heal but become catalysts for generational restoration. We dream of a future where the sacred work of healing becomes a living testament that beauty can emerge from the deepest wounds, and that one person's journey from darkness to light ignites pathways of freedom for generations yet to come.

Our Promise

We commit to creating a variety of evidence-based, complementary and integrative holistic health opportunities to bring hope and healing by educating, encouraging, equipping, and empowering individuals, groups, and communities to embody a LIFEstyle that reflects every human's innate worth and value!

Why Wild Haven & Co.?

Trish McCall, known as Wild Haven’s “WilderMess Trail Guide,” took a very different trail than many imagined when she began her bio-med studies at UNC-CH in 1995, aspiring to be a heart or brain surgeon. Despite her roles as a nurse, athlete, and fitness coach, she faced debilitating pain, chronic distress, and increasing medical diagnoses leading her to seek alternative healing methods.

Her extensive research and holistic health training combined with her own personal experience with childhood complex trauma and the longterm health impacts, helps Trish guide trauma and chronic pain survivors through the proverbial wilderness to rebuild their lives with greater peace and resilience.

Now, she compassionately creates brave, safe spaces for healing in nature, encouraging people to move at their own sacred pace and embrace the rhythms of grace in harmony with how they are “designed naturally awesome” while breaking the chains of lies that bind their mind and body in pain and disease.

As a Registered Nurse of over 25 years, YogaFaith Yoga Therapist, and GraceLife International lay Spiritual Counselor specializing in trauma-sensitive health practices, Trish combines her expertise with holistic approaches learned from leaders like Dr. Van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Michelle Thielen on how the body traps trauma in the body creating pain and disease and teaches her students and clients how to rewire and retrain their minds and bodies to heal.

Trish credits God for her transformative journey of finding hope and healing that now equips and empowers her to actively support victims in crisis, raise human trafficking awareness, and serve in rehabilitation efforts of trauma survivors to become thrivers.

Pssst… A little historical trivia fact: As an avid outdoor adventurer, Trish earned her Project Wild certification in 2018 and trained in wilderness survival! Wild Haven & Co. originally began as a family business teaching wilderness survival skills! She is currently a WildMed trained and certified CPR/First Aid Provider.
