Hello, I’m Candace, founder, leader, and lifelong seeker behind Nature Nomads.
I chase experiences that expand my perspective and challenge how I see the world. Since 1998, that pursuit has taken me around the globe as a touring musician and later into movement, adventure, and journeys that reshape how you think and live.
I’m a mother, a personal trainer, and a small business owner, roles that have taught me that growth doesn’t come from comfort, it comes from showing up curious, prepared, and willing to give it all I got. I’m always learning new skills, and saying yes to experiences that broaden how I see the world.
When I’m not guiding Nomads, you’ll find me wandering from the red sands of the American Southwest to the rugged peaks of the Northern Appalachians, all the way to the end of the world in Patagonia, following trails that challenge the body and shift the mind.
With over 10 years in the health and fitness industry, I lead Nature Nomads adventures with intention, safety, and a deep belief that the right experience can change everything. My passion is bringing people together through movement, nature, and shared curiosity, and watching mindsets expand one step at a time.
