Cherie is passionate about Conscious Conception, Menstruation  and Fertility Awareness.  She is a transformational guide and Reiki Master trained in Nutrition, Herbalism, Shamanism, Plant Spirit Medicine, Flower Essences and Essential Oils. She is a Mother, Conscious Business Couch and Holistic Health Practitioner blissfully following the Priestess Path, weaving the Earthly and Spiritual Realms together.

Cherie has an extensive background in outdoor adventure tours, leading hiking, kayaking and zipline tours on Kauai since 2002.  She is trained in Wilderness First Aid and has intimate knowledge of weather and terrain in the wild parts of Hawaii, California and Colorado.  She has hiked the Na Pali Coast trail countless times, including going solo for her 40th birthday.

"I welcome you to join us on an Awakening Goddess Adventure!  I am blessed and honored to have the opportunity to spend this intimate, empowering time with you."

Jamie is living proof how an ounce of determination, some stubborn bullheadedness, a positive attitude and love is all you need to get back on your feet again. She overcame a major, life-altering injury and is dedicated to utilizing her passion for adventure and the outdoors as the best physical and emotional therapy one could ask for. She is an artist, professional photographer, farmer, dog lover and a loud laugher... some say she sounds like an Erckel; A bird found deep in the valley whose voice calls out like a funny cackle. 

Jamie has traveled all over the United States, Europe and SE Asia, has many years of backpacking under her belt and has trekked along the Na Pali Coast several times over the last couple years.  She has an immense love for the Kalalau Valley and credits that place and her desire to get there as the carrot that pulled her through all the physical therapy and work needed to successfully walk, let alone hike and backpack once again.

Jamie hails from the beautiful Pacific NorthWest (Washington), but is also found yearly in Oregon, Colorado, Michigan and the Hawaiian Islands.  



PLEASE NOTE:  Camping experience is required!  MUST have and know how to use your own gear!  You will be carrying all your own weight.  The Sherpa we are hiring is only responsible for carrying our food and gas minus what we need while trekking in.  

This trail is not for the weak hearted.  You do not have to be a marathon runner or a rock climber but you do have to WANT to experience an EPIC adventure enough to conquer a challenging, tough hike while carrying weight.   It will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life but you will work for it.  The Kalalau Valley is healing, majestic, magical and breathtaking in so many ways.
