Collin’s private coaching is for the person who is over feeling tired, stuck, and finally done waiting to feel like the person they were always meant to be…
You are not lazy. You know this.
You have started things before. You have had good weeks, sometimes even good months. You have felt the pull of something better… more energy, a lighter body, a morning that does not begin with the vague dread of another day spent running on empty… and you have reached for it, genuinely, and likely more than once.
And then something happened. Life got loud. The routine collapsed. Or, you lost the inspiration, and starting over felt harder than it did the first time, so you waited. And waited. And here you are.
What you need is not more information about what to do. You need someone who can help you actually do it… consistently, intelligently, and in a way that is built around your life rather than a generic template that has never heard of your schedule, your history, or the specific and stubborn ways your body and your brain resist change.
That is exactly what this work is.
The Approach
Walking is the most underestimated tool in human health. Not because it is easy, but because it is sustainable… and sustainability is the only thing that actually works.
Most people already know they should move more. What they are missing is not information. It is accountability… someone who shows up consistently, keeps them honest, and refuses to let the intention quietly dissolve the way it has before. That is the foundation of every coaching relationship with Collin.
The work itself combines several powerful elements. Collin brings practical, progressive walking and movement instruction built around your specific goals… whether that means finally making a daily walk a non-negotiable part of your life, or training your body and mind for the demands of a thru-hike or international expedition.
She weaves in a variety of sacred practices, including meditations and clarity exercises that address the inner resistance most programs never think to touch. And underneath all of it runs the steady, knowledgeable accountability that makes the whole thing not just doable. Enjoyable, even. (Imagine that.)
Clients come to Collin with all kinds of specific questions and challenges…
- choosing the right gear for their body and their goals
- navigating foot care and foot/health issues that have derailed them before
- figuring out what to wear (it matters more than most people realize)
- building the confidence to feel genuinely safe on the trail
- planning backpacking trips that are ambitious, but not overwhelming
If you have been carrying a question you did not know who to ask, there is a good chance this is exactly the right place to bring it.
“Working with Collin is like stepping into a sacred remembering. Her events are not just gatherings – they’re awakenings. Through her gentle guidance and powerful presence, I was able to reconnect with my inner truth and feel a renewed sense of purpose. The experience was both grounding and uplifting – medicine for the soul.”

About Collin
Collin Stuart Chambers is an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, former AT Ridgerunner in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Leave No Trace Level 2/Master Educator, Wilderness First Responder, and the author of The Mastery of Backpacking and Walking as a Sacred Path. She has guided people through some of the most demanding terrain on earth… from the Southern Appalachians to the high passes of Peru and Nepal… and she brings that depth of real-world experience into every private coaching relationship.
What her clients describe most often is not the credentials. It is the combination of directness, warmth, and genuine expertise that makes the hard work feel not only possible, but worth doing. Collin does not coach from a distance. She meets you exactly where you are, and she stays in it with you. Learn more about Collin.

For those ready for more than a trek, and more than a coaching program… The Mastermind Pilgrimage Programs weave both together into a single transformational space, months of guided inner work and physical training, culminating in a journey that changes everything.
This is Walking as a Sacred Practice at its fullest expression, private coaching, a small and devoted community, and a destination trek designed as the living conclusion of the work.
Full details, dates, and itineraries coming soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when registration opens.
Planning a thru-hike or long-distance adventure?
Collin offers custom 1:1 coaching available live on a trail… real-time guidance, support, and accountability for the long-distance walker who wants an expert in their corner for the entire journey, not just the preparation. Options vary depending on the trail, the timeline, and what you need most. Book a free call to talk through what that could look like for you.
Most clients arrive wanting to lose weight, gain energy, or finally feel capable in their own body. What they discover is that those goals are not just achievable… they are the beginning of something much larger. When you genuinely feel strong and alive in your body, you start saying yes to things you used to say someday to. The hike you always talked about. The trip that seemed too ambitious. The version of yourself that does not sit out the adventures.
That progression is not a side effect of this work. It is the destination.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
- You are tired of starting over and genuinely ready to build something that lasts.
- You want to lose weight, gain energy, and feel strong in your body… not just for a season, but as a way of life.
- You know what you should be doing but cannot seem to make yourself do it consistently, and you are ready to stop going it alone.
- You have a trek, expedition, or physical adventure on your horizon and want expert guidance to get there prepared.
- You are willing to show up for the work… even when showing up means imperfectly.
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
- You are looking for a quick fix, a crash program, or results that do not require consistent effort.
- You want someone to hand you a generic plan rather than build something specifically for you.
- You are not quite ready to invest at this level yet… and that is genuinely okay. The free resources, the walking community, and the WildWood blog are a real starting point, and this page will be here when the time is right.
How To Begin
Every coaching relationship starts with a free 20-minute consultation call. This is a real conversation… about where you are, what you have tried, what you are working toward, and whether working together makes sense for both of us. No pressure. No pitch. If it is a good fit, we will find the right option for you. If it is not, you will leave the call with something genuinely useful regardless.
I am opening only two private coaching spaces. The next time will be later in the summer.
“The path is the practice. Begin where you are.”
Free Consultation
Collin works only with a couple of private clients at any one time to ensure every relationship gets her full attention. If you have been sitting with this, now is a good time to reach out. These spots will fill quickly. Schedule a free twenty-minute consultation.
