Founder of Dope + Well

Meet Woods

Heyyyyy 👋🏽 I’m Woods (she/her) - mindful movement plant lady, wellbeing travel couturier, rewilding equity educator, professional hammocker, and 🎶 curator of dope playlists 🎶 on a radical rewilding journey.

I curate radical rewilding experiences for dreamers, changemakers, + rebels ready to flourish at the intersection of dopeness + wellbeing.

I spend most of my days OUTSIDE (like frfr): frolicking in nature, mermaid living, playing sports outside, mindfully kayaking, canoeing, hiking, (elevated +) walking/jogging, (elevated +) flowing on a rooftop, (elevated +) hammocking, and (elevated +) cloud surfing!

Why?

Because I feel the most liberated when in deep, intentional connection with my inner nature, nature in the “Great Outdoors”, and the natural healing power of the people’s plant.

How did I get here? Well…

In 2018, I left behind a decade of teaching in the traditional classroom, and found myself leading a gap year program in Latin America. This experience inspired me to take an adult gap year to travel, adventure, learn, + grow.

When I set out on my adult gap year, I decided to figure out how to align work, my wellbeing, + my passions. This led me to become a 200 hr certified yoga teacher (Marianne Wells Yoga School) and outdoor educator (NOLS). A couple years later, I’d add certified cannabis + health coach (Cannabis Coaching Institute) to my resume.

I’ve been a DEI consultant for decades, and as much as I was running away from doing that work, it became clear that I was meant to align my passions for social justice + rewilding. In alignment with my mission to elevate radical rewilding spaces for humans with identities that are marginalized and targeted by dominant culture, I also transform heart-centered, nature-based small businesses into equity centered, nature-based small businesses with culturally responsive teams.
