I Was Once One of Them. Now, I get to be a wilderMess guide for others.
After suffering with 19 medical diagnoses for over 10 years, even as a nurse and fitness instructor for crying out loud, I discovered what many people who are merely surviving after negative experiences or suffering with increasing mental and medical diagnoses are missing: healing requires more than a "suck it up, no pain, no gain" mentality, performance driven scales, knowing medical diagnoses, treating symptoms, and talk therapy (though there's a place for the latter 3, they are often not the first or only solutions).
Today, Wild Haven Sanctuary serves those suffering with chronic pain or disease, loss/grief, stress/burnout, life changing transitions, caregiver-fatigue, as well as "big T" or multiple "little t" traumas.
We offer experiences that are often missing from mental or medical healthcare systems and recovery programs that we have found to increase hope, connection, and vitality for longterm impact and life-long sustainability: gentle, trauma-informed, whole-person (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and relational) care through nature, movement, nourishment, and supportive community.
 Together, we're creating a place where hope and healing can flourish for individuals, families, and communities... for generations.
