Sometimes it’s wild to think I’m living the things I dreamed of but then is it really because I was never having it any other way 😅

To walk among the redwoods
is to walk with elders.

Giants rooted deep in the earth,
holding centuries of memory, resilience,
and quiet knowing.

Here, time loosens its grip.
Breath deepens.
The body remembers how to listen.

The forest becomes teacher, witness, companion —
guiding each step
without urgency,
without demand.

On Wednesday 18th February,
I’m opening a one-day immersive experience
held in nature, by the earth.

I’ll be taking 1–2 people into the redwoods and surrounding forest
for a slow day guided by land and body.

10am — meet at my home in Drouin
We’ll share cacao for the journey
and travel together, allowing the experience
to begin unfolding long before we reach the giants.

Introductory offering: $1000

For those who live and seek
at the marrow. 🌿

Why wayward?

Because healing was never meant to be obedient.
It didn’t begin in white rooms or tidy frameworks.
It lived in bodies, in bone memory, in listening long enough to hear what truly hurts.

Wayward is healing outside the lines.
In forests.
By firelight.
With hands that listen and bodies that remember.

Wayward is choosing a path that doesn’t cost your integrity.
Trusting body over trend.
Letting the nervous system lead instead of forcing change.

I walk with those who don’t fit neatly —
the sensitives, the intuitive,
the ones who feel into the guts of life

Wayward is not about being lost.
It’s about being guided by something bigger that allows you to find yourself. 🌿

The Science of Healing in Nature 🌿

Humans didn’t evolve in buildings. We evolved in forests, by rivers, on hillsides. Our bodies, brains, and spirits are designed to connect with the natural world — and modern science is catching up.

Research shows that spending time in nature can:
Lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and reduce chronic stress

Improve immune function, from increased white blood cells to reduced inflammation

Boost mood and mental clarity, decreasing anxiety and depression

Balance the nervous system, activating the parasympathetic “rest and repair” response

Enhance creativity and problem-solving, as the mind rests in restorative environments

Even small interactions matter:
Walking barefoot on grass improves balance and stimulates pressure points
Listening to water or bird song lowers blood pressure
Visual contact with greenery reduces mental fatigue

The patterns are clear: our bodies are designed to be in right relationship with the earth.

This is why traditional and ancestral healing practices — saunas, sweat lodges, river bathing, forest walks — are more than rituals. They are embodied medicine, activating physiological systems that modern life often shuts down.

Healing in nature isn’t optional. It’s a return to the environment our bodies were built for.
The trees, rivers, and soil are not just scenery — they are active participants in health, resilience, and vitality.

If we slow down, breathe, and allow our bodies to move in sync with the natural world, healing doesn’t just happen — it emerges.

The wayward healer walks the path my ancestors once did —
carrying a lineage of earth-based medicine, reverence, and memory.

Healing was never meant to live inside white rooms and closed doors.
It belonged to forests, rivers, firelight.
It happened when feet touched the earth and breath slowed enough to listen.

My people knew this.
They didn’t separate body from soil,
or spirit from bone.

Illness wasn’t something to fight —
it was a signal that something had fallen out of rhythm.

This work asks you to return.
To your body.
To the land beneath you.
To the parts of yourself that went quiet
when life demanded too much.

This is me walking beside you —
not in front of you.
Listening. Watching.
Ushering what wants to emerge.

This is old medicine.
Not because it’s ancient,
but because it remembers what modern life forgot.

Healing happens in right relationship —
with the earth,
with your nervous system,
with your inner timing.

The Wayward Healer

The intersection of a decade of clinical practice
and a heart that yearns for the land, the earth, and nature as the ultimate healer.

This is the dissolving of what’s expected of me
versus who I actually am.

The things that make me pulse with aliveness —
medicine on and of the earth.

Let’s be real - I was never meant to heal people inside rooms.
My medicine has always lived outside,
seeping from within me.

In movement.
In healing that wanders.
That flows.

The Wayward Healer is the embodiment of everything I am
and everything I’ve desired for others.
Everything I’ve been working toward blindly, but could feel alongside me.

It lives in the quiet moments, in the in-between, when the focus shifts.
When nothing is forced, but everything is allowed to breathe.
When there is no agenda beyond listening —
to the body, to the moment, to the earth itself, and seeing yourself reflected in its rhythms.

This isn’t treatment.
This isn’t fixing.
This isn’t protocols.

This is presence.
This is honesty.
This is truth.

It’s the subtle, natural shifts that happen when someone is met outside of systems, expectations & illusions.

It’s for the ones who feel the call to slow down, to feel again, to remember what it’s like to be human on and with the earth.

For the ones who know there’s more,
and the ones who want it.

You already know.
It lives inside you.
You’ve carried it for lifetimes.
Now it’s just time to remember.

Ash,
The Wayward Healer 🌿
