Known as Wild Haven’s founder and “WilderMess Trail Guide,” Trish McCall, took a very different trail than many imagined when she began her bio-med studies 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 more natural, alternative healing methods. Trish combines her extensive research and expertise as a nurse of 25 years, a Yoga Therapist, and a GraceLife International lay spiritual counselor with her own personal experience of healing from childhood complex trauma and overcoming longterm health impacts of trauma through holistic approaches learned from leaders like Dr. Van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Michelle Thielen to help guide others familiar with trauma and the health impacts of it through the proverbial (sometimes literal) wilderness to restore their spirit, renew their minds, rebuild their bodies, and reclaim a thriving lifestyle the way they are uniquely “designed naturally awesome” to break the chains that bind their spirits, minds and bodies in pain and disease.
