The thing about losing everything is that all you’re left with is you. At first, that feels devastating. And then, anything becomes possible.
✺
Are you tired? Take a walk with me.
You’re not burned out. You’re grieving.
And this exhaustion you're feeling is not a personal failing. It's a signal. You have spent your whole life carrying everything for everyone else and your body is saying enough. This is an invitation to stand up, turn around, and finally say no.
This is for you if you've hit a wall. If you can't get out of bed. If you're ready to rage quit by email and kick the trash can on the way out. If you're suddenly very sick. Or so lost in grief that it takes your breath away. If you find yourself quiet quitting your life. If you just can’t any more. If you’re wondering if this is all there is and you’re not sure why, or what to do about it.
This is for you if you’re ready to ask for more.
I understand, because I’ve been there.
I was on my hands and knees on the bathroom floor after another grueling events season with a wildly successful floral business, and I realized this wasn't my idea of success. I thought back to the beginning. Just me and a pair of clippers, knee deep in a snow drift, watching a barn owl fly by. I was hungry for that feeling: pure connection with who I have always been.
So I went outside and got real. About who I am. About what I want. About what does and does not work for me. And the more honest I got, the more I saw that what doesn't work for me had become sewn into my survival.
Untangling that was going to take more than willpower.
I stopped trying to think my way out, and I asked for help from skilled people (plural) who knew things I didn't. Slowly, I began to loosen the patterns, and the grief and trauma that had fortified them. And as I healed, the path got clearer: close the business, go back to school, and create Wildering — a nature-based approach to tending grief and healing the root of over-functioning so we can build a life that doesn't cost us our whole selves.
I know what it’s like when it all falls apart and I know how to come back from it.
This is not just a walk in the woods.
Nature-based burnout recovery is a trauma-informed, somatic coaching approach that integrates nature immersion, nervous system regulation, and IFS-informed methods to help people recover from chronic stress, rebuild sustainable rhythms, and tend to the grief that often underlies nervous-system exhaustion. It is distinct from clinical therapy because it is focused on practical recovery, values work, and changing your unconscious patterns so you can move forward.
Here's what coming back to yourself could look like for you
✶ First, we sort.
That impulse to burn it all down and walk away from the bonfire is an indicator that you've been saying yes to what doesn't work for you, for way too long. Here's where you get real. Rage if you need to. It's just you and me and the trees to hear about how you really feel. And then…we sort, separating what's working from what isn't so you can gain some clarity.
✶ Then, we rest.
Giving yourself permission to stop and rest is the first skill we are going to build for you. Because when you know how to slow down, you can start to listen. When you can listen, you can finally let go of what's getting in the way. When you can let go, you can finally move on.
✶ Then, we rebuild.
This is where you remember what you actually want and find the courage to claim it. This process takes time. But when you get there, you'll know.
READY TO WALK?
Let’s go outside.
Lace up your boots, grab your earbuds and come outside with me. I'll share with you what I know about grief while you walk. You’ll share with me too. We will figure this out together.
About me.
I am a naturalist, writer and a certified coach. My work explores grief, healing and our relationship to the natural world—shaped in part by an early childhood spent with the Yupiit people in Alaska. My practice is rooted in nature connection, embodied awareness and Internal Family Systems. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Nature-Based Transpersonal Counseling at Naropa University.

FROM MELESE
Working with Jenevieve has been the biggest gift I could have ever given myself. I have always wanted, but been hesitant, to hire a life coach. However, Jenevieve has a depth of knowledge and experience that builds trust and offers results. We have worked together to create change that is truly making a difference in my life and setting me up for a more fulfilling future.

FROM ALEXA
First let me begin by sharing what a gift it is to work with Jenevieve. Her calm, inquisitive, and thoughtful nature creates the ideal environment for all parts to feel safe enough to be seen. Jenevieve does an incredible job of asking the right questions to help you get to the root of what’s getting in your way. There was never a session I walked away without knowing myself deeper and loving myself more than I thought possible. She is an incredible mirror and deeply respects boundaries and the human experience. I've worked with Jenevieve over the last 9 months and I can honestly say, I am not the same person I was when we first began working together. If you are willing to do the work and look at yourself with honesty and compassion, you found the right person to walk with.

Jenevieve magnetized me with her life story, and it was natural for me to book a call with her the day after! So glad I did: I felt so understood and supported, and she gave me the help I was searching for, not by telling me what to do, but by helping me tune into my feelings to create the emotional space I want to be in and to get in touch with my inner wisdom. Highly recommend!!

If you have always been a driven person who cares (maybe too much) but suddenly you just don't give a damn and it's gotten so bad you're worried about screwing up your life, this work is for you.
Especially for those navigating burnout alongside grief, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or the weight of moving through systems that weren't built for you.

I am a coach and practitioner, not a therapist. Currently, my work is focused on support, growth, and trauma-informed coaching, not clinical diagnosis or treatment. If deeper trauma processing comes up that needs therapeutic attention, I'll help connect you with a therapist. In my experience, coaching works beautifully alongside therapy for those who are still processing deep grief or trauma. If I feel your needs fall outside the scope of my training, or that a different kind of support would serve you better, we will work together to get you the support you need.

Coaching is focused on helping you move forward. In this work, we gently explore how past experiences may be shaping your present, particularly through the lens of the nervous system and the body, with an emphasis on building capacity, resilience, and creating change in the here and now. While we may touch on past events, the focus remains on how those experiences live in your system today, and how we can support more regulation, choice, and self-awareness as you move forward. My role is firmly rooted in coaching, with a humanistic and IFS-informed approach grounded in ethics, scope, and safety.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a healing modality that helps you develop a compassionate relationship with your protective and wounded inner parts so you can live and lead from your core Self. It teaches that the mind is naturally multiple — and that this multiplicity is healthy. IFS helps people access their wise, compassionate Self and, from that inner leadership, understand and transform their parts. IFS provides a framework for stepping into life and work with more confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness.

Ideally, we're outside and moving in whatever way works for your body. But this work meets you where you are — whether that’s a trail, or via Zoom by a window with a cup of tea.

I'll be the first to encourage you to simplify. But if you do one thing this year, do this. Because if you don't have time to heal, you definitely don't have time to keep burning out and rebuilding from scratch.

Most burnout advice tells you to rest more and set better boundaries — then sends you back into the same life. This work goes deeper. We're tending to the parts of you that learned it wasn't safe to slow down, using nature to help your nervous system remember what rest actually feels like, and rewiring the patterns that got you here so you can come back home to yourself and build a better life.
