Let’s begin this journey together, with expert guidance
getting ready and getting started on the Camino Francés route.

embarking on their f irst ever pilgrimageon the Camino de Santiago.

Here’s how I can help:

This is a big thing you want to do.

Walking the Camino is a transformational experience. It’s time spent going deeply into the present moment, walking with the sacred energy of the earth at a pace that slows the mind and opens the heart.

It is a life-changing walk along an ancient path, a path that echoes with the spirit and wisdom of millions of pilgrims who have gone before you.

This dream of yours, it is important.

Did I say it’s a big thing? I meant HUGE. With the potential to bring you back home to who you really are. To heal your deepest hurts. To find and release your highest potential. To prepare you to go after your next dream and the dream after that.

Walking the Camino is about so much more than your packing list.

It’s about more than finding the right boots and deciding if you should use trekking poles. More than figuring out how to get to your starting point as directly and cheaply than possible.

Walking the Camino is about you, about what you want for your life and if you are brave enough to go after it. I think you are, and I am here to help you find and nurture that courage. Step by step, as you plan, prepare, and walk the Camino de Santiago.

Ever since my first pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in 2005, I have been enthralled with what walking the Camino makes possible in people’s lives. Mine included.

So I kept walking. I kept going back year after year for seven years, until finally I realized I had to share this gem of an experience with others, like you, who are considering walking their first ever pilgrimage on the Francés route of the Camino de Santiago. That’s when I started leading groups on the Camino, in 2013.

I am passionate about you having the Camino experience you are seeking.

Do you know what you are looking for? Do you know why you are called to walk the Camino, and to walk it now, at this point in your life? Let’s explore that together.

Maybe you know you don’t want or need a guide for your entire Camino walk. Well, that’s perfect! I am here to get you started on your Camino journey.
