About Your Co-Facilitators

This retreat brings together the holistic wellness expertise of Ladan Spa and the nature-based coaching of Krista Gauthier, founder of True North Rising.

Krista’s work is devoted to helping individuals reconnect with themselves during times of transition by integrating reflection, storytelling, and immersive experiences in nature. Drawing on a background in education and experiential learning, she creates thoughtfully curated spaces that invite both restoration and transformation. She is currently completing her Level I certification in mindful outdoor leadership through Kripalu, further deepening her approach to holistic, nature-based well-being.
