About Us
Who are we?
Kraig (Ecotherapist), and MJ “DocMJ” (PhD-MFT), are professional wellness advocates who engage the art of pursuing fun and healing simultaneously… for our own well-being, for the well-being of our relationships, and for the well-being of our Planet.
Kraig’s adoration of Nature started on his fifth birthday, when Kraig’s uncle took him fishing…and Kraig began to understand Nature as the Source of all wisdom and knowledge. He sensed the elemental foundation of Life, and Nature became the lens through which he sought and measured wellness. Nature knows all, contains all, is the blueprint for all wellness efforts, and has been THE elixir for Kraig’s own trauma processing on his wellness journey.
Like Kraig, MJ’s life was defined in part by an event that happened when she was five years old. When she witnessed her dad manhandle her mom for the first time, she knew instantly that her parents didn’t have the maturity to teach her what she needed to know for life, so she decided that education would have to teach her how to do life. While this wasn’t a bad strategy for a 5-year-old, it was incomplete in that most Western education doesn’t lift Nature up as the blueprint for living well. Working with Kraig who filters psychology through ecology, however, provided an elemental foundation that resonated with MJ deep in her Essential Self.
And so, Kraig and MJ formed Wellness Trailhead, a collaborative effort between Kraig’s MyBizGuide and MJ’s WholeHeart Counseling Services to make the serious business of healing fun and full of wonder.
If you or someone you know wants to grow and heal in a context of fun and wonder, we can help grow a new foundation of healing and wellness… one that ignites passion for life and stokes relationship with inner peace.
